Bad move IMO, but hey I believe in private property rights
No you don't.
You don't because you support people like Trump who hounds people out of their own properties when they refuse to sell.




I know you are desperate to be outraged by anything the left does but THIS IS NOT AMERICA. Corbyn asked the government to consider using compulsory purchase orders for flats in the area that are deliberately kept vacant. (land banking)


What Corbyn actually said was

"But can't we as a society just think, all of us, it's all very well putting our arms around people during the crisis but homelessness is rising, the housing crisis is getting worse and my point was quite a simple one.
"In an emergency, you have to bring all assets to the table in order to deal with that crisis and that's what I think we should be doing in this case."
He questioned why people had been left stranded when airlines are able to find accommodation for delayed travellers.
Mr Corbyn said: "Every day at Heathrow, planes get delayed. Hundreds of people get stranded at airports all over the world.


"Hotels are found for them immediately, they are sorted out.
"400 or so people, still most of them have not got somewhere decent, safe or secure to stay in.
"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."
