comrade corbyn may well be a caring human being instead of a grandstanding politico grabbing very opportunity to pontificate on yet more totally impractical schemes. However those of us that do not live in a rose tinted, pinky, sandal wearing, tree smothering, huggy huggy world(or bright red in the case of Corbyn) can see through his bullsh*t.
All he has done so far is outline courses of action that are either illegal, or require actions either by the council or parliament to bring them to fruition. This is getting extremely repetitive, you leftards must have the attention span of a gnat.
squatting is illegal
compulsory purchase takes time (see above)
Requisitioning requires the recall of parliament and changes to the law
and would likely contravene european law which would I believe take primacy.
Neither of the latter 2 could be completed in sufficiently timely fashion to ameliorate the present situation.(assuming the legalities were in order and that is a big assumption.
What part of "timely fashion" do you not wish to understand?

I suggest you jump out of your little socialist bubble into the real world and recognise corbyn's utopian dream is the dystopian wasteland of harsh reality.
As I keep saying, the man is a fool. and a very dangerous one at that.
Far more to the point he has grabbed much media attention with solutions that are totally pie in the sky and has contributed a big fat zero to a practical solution.
He must think he is in a Harry Potter film where he can just wave a magic wand and make everything better. Personally I would cast him as Voldemort.
