Grab the underworld
This is mysterious. According to UK Telegraph, many property owners have been notified that the Anglican Faghouse is attempting to 'register' the mineral rights under their properties. This didn't strike me as strange at first. After all, the new Head Hag of the Faghouse, Miss Justine Welby, is a former oil executive and has donated the former church wholeheartedly to Satan. Miss J thinks the old non-progressive ways of old Jesus are completely Neanderthal. Old non-progressive Jesus threw out the moneylenders, so Miss J has turned the Faghouse into an investment bank. With that in mind, this latest move seems logical and appropriate. Grab the underground part of the whole country and claim it for Satan.
However! As usual the Telegraph commenters do a better job than the Telegraph writers. (Another example of the Freestuff is good, paid stuff is poisonous shit syndrome.) I was assuming that mineral rights worked the same way in both countries, but that isn't true. One commenter pointed out that all mineral rights in Britain are government property. A quick google (which the Telegraph writer obviously didn't bother to do!) verified what he said. It's been that way since 1918 when the first oil well was drilled. The only exception is the first well itself, which remains the property of the Duke of Devonshire. Everything else is owned by the gov't. Simple and clear legislation.
Well then, what is Miss J trying to do? Is he/she/it asserting an "ancient right" that doesn't actually exist, hoping nobody will notice? Or does he/she/it have full confidence that the illegitimate former gov't of Britain, now equally devoted to Satan, will go along with his/her/its theft?
