I think a good chunk of that 1% will have descended from landed gentry, so they have done a particularly good job to have preserved and then expanded their share of the pot.
Yes, and much of the land taken away from the common folk and given to the Gentry. This practice still existed in the 1920s and 30s until the 50s Huge chunks of common land were given away as rewards. The land became very valuable building land from the 1950s onwards. People were evicted from there former homes on former common land in the 1950s when the land came into private ownership."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment
