Corbyn's call to seize privately-owned properties to house Grenfell homeless victims
http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/817...sidents-corbyn
Apart from being illegal it is not a practical solution. The responsibility is on the Council/Government to do this and it should be ensured they do so as soon as possible. You can't effectively steal property from people because they are wealthy. This is typical of Corbyn's far left policies and I can't help but feel he is using this tragedy to his political advantage. He is as far-left in his views as he ever was and for those to suggest his views are more moderate than they used to be is either naive or dishonest. Watch this space I say. |
I think the issue is with buildings being purchased and not developed, this is common practice buildings and land are purchased to prevent competition moving in, this has to stop.

I've personally lived near two such properties. My wife's uni house (massive 6 bedroom place) was next to a similar house... That was so neglected it had trees growing through the windows. It had been inherited by a multi-millionaire living in Spain when an elderly relative died and he just had absolutely no interest in it whatsoever. I doubt he would even have noticed / cared if someone sold it from under him. Another one was on the corner of the little terraced street I lived on when we lived in Lancashire (think coronation Street... It looked identical). There was an abandonned house there that had been empty for 15+ years according to locals, and the council didn't even know who owned it. Totally untraceable. It'll presumably just sit there until it falls apart? Surely there should be something in place to stop that. These properties are an eyesore and devalue all of the surrounding property, for one. |

yes, while parliament is not in session, mps, have lots of available accomodation in london. As that is actually paid for by the people, lets first start by making it available.
Let me guess how many fellow labour mp's would support that move before even getting to the other parties :laugh: |

A bit fat zero all round I would say. |
Don't agree with seizing private property - if you own it it's yours and the government can't take it away unless you've purchased the property via criminal means. Corbyn's a joke

I was particularly annoyed with Labour saying 5 million wasn't enough as an emergency fund, at this point in time all parties should be trying to come together and form a united response to the tragedy, rather than arguing amongst themselves, it's a decent amount as a starting point, we don't need politicians arguing to tip this into a riot situation |

[QUOTE=Kizzy;9366668]No it isn't, the time for papering over the cracks has ended... no more duping, appeasing and inquiries.
The public have a right to honesty, inquest and accountability.[/QUOTE] Of course they do but thas nothing to do with my point. If Labour feel 5 million is not enough they should take it privately to the government, shouting that it is not enough is just inflaming a tense situation, its inappropriate and its irresponsible |

Throw the proles some crumbs to appease them as they sit dazed wondering where thier family is in a church hall.. but, fgs don't rock this fragile socio-political boat....bollocks. |
Instead of anyone or any party making independent noises on this.
How reasoned and right it would be if the govt actually approached all other Parties to agree the best set of proposals to help and ease suffering. That would bring I would guess a strong majority of the nation together. Rather than having people and families housed in halls, anyone with empty premises could help by offering temporarily such empty dwellings for the affected to live in. Oh and Churches could be getting their fingers out here more practically too. |

Not about money? these residents as my dear father would have said don't have a pot to piss in! What is important to them, that the establishment close ranks?... No, no it isn't.
It isn't point scoring it's pressure not to allow the govt to sidestep their responsibilities in this matter. How inflammatory is having representatives in the media stating that sprinklers were not installed because residents didn't want them?! Have a little perspective. |
