The idea that families should simply squat in vacant properties is utterly ludicrous to the point that I don't even know where to start. It isn't feasible, it isn't practical, it isn't secure for the families themselves... The list of problems is endless and Corbyn KNOWS that, he knows it isn't realistic, he is making a CHEAP political point exploitatively at the expense of hundreds of suffering people and dozens of dead. It makes me really ****ing angry and if it isn't making other Corbyn supporters angry then... Yeah... I'm sorry but you ARE being blinkered and biased. What he and others are doing here is mercenary and repulsive.

I saw it days ago on the main thread about the fire and was poo-poo'd away, "it's not political! Everyone is united! You're wrong TS"!

As usual I was not bloody wrong and it's exactly the petty political sh**show on all sides that I said it was.

he is causing riots, hes a communist disruptor who dislikes his own country and is basically promoting vigilantism

Mr Corbyn said if emergency accommodation could be found for stranded airline passengers, then the victims of Grenfell Tower should get similar support. “Somehow or other, it seems to be beyond the wit of the public services to deal with the crisis facing a relatively small number of people in a country of 65 million,” he said.

Asked if Mr Corbyn's call to "occupy" was addressed to victims of the tragedy, his supporters or the Government a source close to the Labour leader said: "He was saying that everyone should be urgently housed in the borough."

Problem? Of course they should be housed.

If there are a bunch of empty properties then the council could buy them up with the 200m they have squandered

Edit. I don't actually see where he has encouraged squatting?
