Corbyn displays his true colours.
The homes of rich people in Kensington could be seized for Grenfell Tower residents made homeless by fire, Jeremy Corbyn said today.
Mr Corbyn said the London borough was a ‘tale of two cities’ between a wealthy south and a poor north.
He suggested that ‘requisitioning’ vacant properties would be a solution to the shortage of available accommodation for those displaced.
‘Properties must be found – requisitioned if necessary – in order to make sure that residents do get rehoused locally,’ Mr Corbyn told a meeting of MPs.
‘How is it acceptable that in London you have luxury buildings and luxury flats kept empty as land banking for that future while homeless people look for somewhere to live?’
So there we have it – an utter contempt for property rights. The local council will do as it is required to do and home people accordingly. Meanwhile this disgusting little man uses the tragedy to indulge in political point scoring. Of course, to the dimwitted followers of this evil ideology, seizing the homes of the “rich” fits the narrative. They always assume that it will never be their property that is taken without consent by an avaricious and brutal state.
And to think that so many people voted to put this scumbag into Number 10.
Well, while Lily Allen’s down in London fomenting revolution, her Cotswold cottage is standing empty.
Just sayin’…
Have there been any tower block fires in the Cotswolds? Heh!
Perhaps her Kensington property could be requisitioned while she’s at the cottage….
Not quite empty, her cats and her nanny are there, looking after her children…
Perhaps the former occupants of Grenfell Tower might like to be re-housed in say Hampstead or Islington . . . ?
As and when they are rehoused, unless they have employment in the London area, they can be placed anywhere in the country where the cost of social housing in cheaper, apart from those lucky few who are re-housed next door to Lily Allen or her equally obnoxious father.
“Of course, to the dimwitted followers of this evil ideology, seizing the homes of the “rich” fits the narrative. They always assume that it will never be their property that is taken without consent by an avaricious and brutal state.”
That was the first thing that occurred to me when I first heard about this. The half wits that are cheering him on never imagine that a government that is perfectly OK with stealing other people’s stuff is going to come after their stuff very soon afterwards.
The suspicion that the fire may have been further fuelled by a gas leak from pipes in the main stairwell has been mooted following complaints from residents about their vulnerability to vandalism.
If the government does it, they call it requisitioning. If you or I do it, they call it theft.
I see the New Communist Party is now ahead of the Tories in the polls. There truly is no accounting for taste.
