Plus which, the absentee English landlords had discovered they could make more
money by raising cattle on the still-fertile farmland, so they had no stake in

other places, then call up MacDonald's and ask them where the beef for their Big
Macs comes from. Just another little bit of exploitation invented by the Brits.
