North Yorkshire Land Grab After Norwegian Government Lease Ends
Fri 14:16 20/Nov/09 The AnswerBank
The shocked people of North Yorkshire have become part of a modern free-for-all land grab the like which has not been seen since Oklahoma in the days of the old Wild West.
The Norwegian Government has held a sovereign lease on significant parts of the North Yorkshire Moors since 1884 when the British Government sorely needed money to help rebuild Colchester after the Great Earthquake which was estimated to measure 4.6 on the Richter scale.
“Our legal papers of title were lost during the German occupation of Norway in the 1940s and were only recently rediscovered. At this point in European history given Norway is not an EU country it was felt it would be unwise to enforce possession and the developments needed by this relatively poor area of England.”
Therefore all non-commercial land will be available to those who wish to claim it. The land may be claimed in the traditional Quarter Lot blocks which amount to 160 acres. The scheme is being run on a purely first-come-first-serve basis and is available to men and women over the age of 43.
