Corbyn on Peston's program today called for the government to take a look at the many vacant luxury properties in the area deliberately left empty.
"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.

"Occupy it, compulsorily purchase it, requisition it: there's a lot of things you can do."
1)occupying a house or squatting is illegal. So now he is encouraging lawbreaking.
2)CPO's take time. Therefore not a useful short term solution but a very good soundbite.

3)Peacetime requisitioning has not yet occurred. This is brand new territory. As I have stated previously this would require the government to recall Parliament and drive through new legislation.
Again not a short term solution for homeless people.

So we have the leader of the opposition encouraging people to break the law and his other short term solutions in a nutshell are not.

Time for comrade corbyn to take time out and think of something useful and constructive to say instead blathering totally impractical solutions to a very real crisis.
God help us should he ever become PM.
