Corbyn: "Occupy, compulsory purchase it, requisition it, there's a lot of things you can do".Date Sunday 18th June

Terebus rhetorically asks:

So pfr and Co. Were these luxury flats requisitioned? - No they were not.

Were they simply "occupied" - No they were not.

Were they subject to compulsory purchase by the Council - No they were not.

But were they purchased as one of the "lots of other things you can do"?
Yes.



But if you want to see human nature at its worst, I suggest keeping your eyes open for complaints that some of the people who get these flats are immigrants. As far as i know it hasn't happened yet, but I fear it will. It is one of those things I hope to be wrong about. Also appalling, but not quite as bad, would be anyone complaining they paid millions for their flat and then these "unwashed" turn up and reduce their flat's value.
