The Forth Bridge was among treasured British landmarks that were “sold”, as Oxfam brought the need to tackle land grabs in developing countries to the public’s doorsteps.
Oxfam put up “sold” signs the length and breadth of Britain, from the White Cliffs of Dover to the Angel of the North. In Scotland, campaigners staked ‘SOLD’ signs in front of the iconic Forth Bridge, various locations in Glasgow city centre and the historic heart of Inverness.
The spoof signs are part of Oxfam’s ongoing campaign to stop land grabs, which leave poor people in Africa, Asia and Latin America homeless and without access to the land they rely on for food to eat and to make a living.
