"I am still waiting for all you leftards to tell me how comrade corbyn's compulsory purchase, occupy and requisition will work within a meaningful and legal timeframe. Your silence on the subject rather confirms the view he is just a grubby little grandstanding politician with no morals and no scruples."

But, you see, Iains, when you started this thread you didn't mention the "meaningful and legal timeframe" stuff. Not even a whiff of it. You just had a go, in the most immoderate language, at Corbyn's character and integrity. Go on, read it again. You only mentioned the "meaningful/legal" bit once you'd been snowed under, quite justifiably, by criticism for your defence of the rich at all costs and your sheer naked inhumanity towards the poor. Your opening post in this thread stands for all to see. The only person twisting and wriggling here is you, with the help of poodle-Teribus, of course. Live with it. Admit it. Own up. Make an honest man of yourself for once.

Jim Carroll."only problem is that it is owned and the owners of that property are protected by laws"
Ony problem is that there are hundreds of people desperately in need of accommodation following this fire and if our leaders are incapable of passing emergency measures they are not fir for purpose.

Property owners are protected by laws. Well Jimmy what else do you suggest should protect property owners? Perhaps private armies to keep out the unwashed if the rule of law has broken down or been supplanted.
Do you realise just how asinine your posturing is?
I would expect a more meaningful statement off a five year old. Without the rule of law the result is anarchy. If you are seriously proposing that as a solution to homelessness, words escape me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and just what emergency measures do you propose, bearing in mind Parliament is in recess. This is getting really repetitive, can you try to pay attention!
You are very good at suggesting a course of action that may work in your socialist dreamworld but in the real world your suggested solutions are not worth the paper they are printed on. They will not grow wings, they will not fly, they will crash.

"Why was this "solution" for the homeless not in Labour's Manifesto?"

For the same reason that there was no stated contingency plan in the Tory manifesto for a sudden outbreak of cholera. For the same reason that there was no stated contingency plan in the LibDem manifesto for a sudden outbreak of a drug-resistant, vicious variant of the HIV virus. For the same reason that there wasn't a contingency plan in UKIP's manifesto for a nuclear attack by Russia. For the same reason that there wasn't a contingency plan in Cameron's last manifesto for Brexit. For the same reason that there wasn't a contingency plan in May's manifesto for a sudden run on the pound. Hey, Billyboy, it's a good job no-one hires you to write manifestos, innit.

Well Shaw I think occupy is illegal, compulsory purchase does not occur overnight, and requisitioning has not occurred in peacetime conditions. Also Parliament is in recess at the moment. Most people are well aware of these facts, as was Corbyn, That is why he is a grubby little politician. It is only your leftard ignorance that requires the above to be pointed out repeatedly and at great length. Some of us catch on a bit quicker.
    Just ask yourself if these facts were not true there would be no case to make against comrade corbyn now would there?

Now go away drink you cocoa and try to construct a real argument instead of your usual blusterings and posturings. Perhaps you should tell us about your weeds or your latest wine bargains or perhaps 5000 ways of peeling spuds,

Requisitioning is not confiscation. It would be perfectly possible to pass a short bill that would authorise the government to carry out the requisition of empty property that was deemed suitable for these people.

The owners could seek to challenge the legality of this. I very much doubt if they would be successful. In the meantime the displaced survivors of this criminal fire would have a decent place to live, close to their network of support.

If Theresa May had a shred of political intelligence she would recognise picking up this proposal as an opportunity to salvage some of the credibility she has lost by her inadequate response to this tragedy.   In fact, even that, all it takes would be a handful of Tory MPs backing this, either because they are honourable in their way, or because they are on razor thin majorities, and such legislation could be passed.

There are some occasions when cutting through red tape is actually needed, and this is such an occasion.

Until such a point as you give us chapter and verse on what was really said rather than what the Daily Heil headlines said there is little point in even trying to tell you.

Timeline:
1)At the emergency meeting in westminster hall corbyn called for requisitioning of property.Date thursday 15th June

"During the election and before Jeremy Corbyn campaigned against the government's intention to seek a derogation or exit from the provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights. He claimed: "The Tories want to repeal the Human Rights Act and some want to leave the European Convention on Human Rights."

Article 1 of the First Protocol of the Human Rights Act enshrines the protection of property, a right that would be breached by the requisitioning of other people's properties. The victims of the Grenfell disaster can be accommodated without communist-style expropriations, tearing up the rule of law and breaching innate human rights. It is a sign of Corbyn's contempt for freedom and property that his knee jerk reaction to the tragedy is to resort class war…

Now no doubt you will concentrate on shooting the messenger because you find the message unpalatable although the veracity is self evident.
Now pay attention again as we move on in time and the quote above on Peston's program is aired: Corbyn: "Occupy, compulsory purchase it, requisition it, there's a lot of things you can do.Date Sunday 18th June
As you can see as the timeline expands the man likewise expands his idiocy. Now I think the impracticality of what the halfwit suggested have been done to death here. But note the deathly silence on the last part of his statement " a lot of things you can do."
There probably are many things he could do,starting with putting his ideas into action while in Westminster Hall, but he had not the wit to do it.
Now you can carry on spinning what he said until you give a gyroscope vertigo, but you cannot escape from the fact that his suggestions cannot be acted on within any meaningful timeframe.

Now we come to Shaws rantings:"But you started this thread with a vicious attack on Corbyn's character and integrity. The rest came later only when you'd been comprehensively outed as a defender of the very rich and a disser of the poor, the deprived, the homeless and the bereaved and when you were trying to save face. I don't give a monkey's mickey what you call me. Be my guest. What I know is that you twisted away from your original point once we'd all attacked you for your sheer inhumanity"
My theme developed as Corby's stupidity evolved over several days.
1)He wants to overturn human rights legislation.
2)He wants to occupy property (lucky the old offence of incitement is no longer around)
3)He wants to compulsory purchase property.
When are you socialist lackwits finally going to appreciate none of his suggestions can occur overnight. As I have said repeatedly, the man is a rabble rousing fool.
Now in case the argument is a little too complex for you to follow
I will summarise it.
1)Thursday. Comrade corbyn wants to overturn human right legislation, to requisition housing despite campaigning for it's retention as part of his election platform
2)Sunday Comrade corbyn adds squatting and compulsory purchase to his supposed quick fixes.
3)comrade corbyn by encouraging crimminal action clearly shows he is unfit to hold office.

2)wants to occupy property (lucky the old offence of incitement is no longer around)
3)wants to compulsory purchase property.

No mention that he would perform any of the actions suggested. Just that all possibilities should be considered. And so they should.

Compulsory Purchase - Takes a great deal of time to complete - for very good reasons - so in this case it would be useless as a solution.

Requisition - Requires an Act of Parliament - Takes a great deal of time to complete - for very good reasons - so in this case it would be useless as a solution.

Can't you lot get it into your thick heads Corbyn isn't offering any solutions he is merely rabble rousing.

See in today's Press the Grenfell Tower survivors do not want the mindless Corbyn "Day of Rage" crowd hijacking their misfortune for their own ends - as Jom stated - ""What kind of agenda-driven prick uses a horrific fire as a soapbox to attack a political party he doesn't agree with?" - we shall see my money is on the fact that they will just not be able to resist the temptation.

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.

That is not good enough. There are propeties standing empty which could be used immediately.
