<p>92% of England is off-limits to the public. And 50% of the land is owned by 1% of the population. Most people in Britain believe they are free. But are we really?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Episode description and notes: In this episode of&nbsp;Rigour &amp; Flow, we move between the personal and the structural to interrogate land ownership in Britain today. We start with the film&nbsp;<em>'Our Land'</em>&nbsp;and its exploration of the politics of walking, before widening the lens to connect British land estates to global colonial histories.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Touching on the Right to Roam movement and contrasting rights of passage in Scotland vs. England, we ask: what does it mean to live in a country where you are legally a trespasser on most of the land?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This conversation is not just about countryside access or a "nice walk". It is about who is allowed to belong, how colonial logic reorganised itself into modern property law, and how community wealth building is being systematically stalled.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>🎙️<strong> In this episode:</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><ul><li><strong>Landing British Realism:</strong>&nbsp;The myth of freedom in a country where 92% of land is inaccessible.</li><li><strong>The Right to Roam:</strong>&nbsp;The radical differences between Scotland and England and what they reveal about power.</li><li><strong>Colonialism at Home:</strong>&nbsp;How 1% owning 50% determines class, control and belonging in the British countryside.</li><li><strong>Indigeneity and Erasure:</strong>&nbsp;Why Western societies do not see themselves as indigenous and the discursive moves that separate us.</li><li><strong>Community Wealth Building:</strong>&nbsp;Why land ownership is the centre of long-term Black community security and survival.</li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Subscribe for more critical deep-dives into power, class and the Black experience.</strong></p><br><p>🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts
