This is all the electrical twitching of a clogged and dying brain which never developed past five years old due to lack of education and discipline.

Thought experiment: Imagine how it would be if Trump weren't currently on every available dementia drug and other treatment to keep him going.

i suspect this had more to do with autarky and the sudden harrassing of seaborne trade by the germans, not the fact that england was maxing out its malthusian capacity. you love that claptrap. on the contrary, britain embarked on one of the biggest house-building sprees in its history in the immediate wake of ww2. that's rather where this modern myth of home ownership began for the vast majority of the population.

green field sites are more about arts & crafts ruritarianism and quaint national trust conservationism than it is about 'we can't feed ourselves'. the british government have been fucking over farmers in numerous ways in recent years, which leads me to think our food supply isn't near the top of the national crisis list.
Food supply was a non-trivial crisis in WW2, its worse now.

Very weird that the govt is going after multi-generation farmers, mostly white, 'because inter-generational wealth transfer is bad' so farmland and the country side can be built over to allow an increasing population, much of it immigration, to build inter-generational wealth 'because inter-generational wealth transfer is good'.

Its a big fat gift to reform however you look at it.
