Subject: RE: BS: Labour wants to confiscate property
The leveller. typical response from an idiot that simple refuses to accept that the solution Corbyn suggested is poppycock for many reasons and on many different levels.
1) Requistioning.Many stately homes were requisitioned as part of the war effort. Bletchley Park, where crucial code-breaking was carried out, was bought privately before the war, but requisition was later used to extend the site.The government had to pass legislation in order to do that - the Defence of the Realm Act in 1914 and the Emergency Powers Act in 1939 - but this does not appear to have happened in peacetime to meet emergency housing needs.

"Any property requisitions may therefore require emergency legislation in Parliament to instigate and would "probably"
prove controversial," said Mark Woloshak, a lawyer from Slater and Gordon.
2)Parliament is in a hiatus at the moment and there is no guarantee that should legislation be proposed, that it will deliver the intended outcome.
2)Were it to be passed it is unlikely it would take affect in sufficiently timely fashion to help the homeless from this tragic fire.
3)Should requisitioning occur it would probably deliver a massive shock to the economy with an impact affecting all.
4)A typical labour kneejerk soundbite with zero preparation, forethought, timeline, or costings.

Your constant whining because St Corbyn has been portrayed as an utter buffoon is getting monotonous. Go find another pram to throw your toys out of.
And you fools want this guy to form a government!
