Yes, we do need land reform as much of our country is still held by hereditary landlords, whose sole claim is by birthright.
The bulk of our urban population are there because they were thrown off the land by the clearances in Scotland, enclosure in England and by starvation in Ireland.
Its not much of an issue now but if people need to grow their own food in the future because of sky high food prices it will be again.
