Home owners in the UK have been told that "compulsory selling of home" will be enforced to house illegal migrants ...


The link is to Twitter but its a video from a Britain News channel

Elon tweeted about it


Daily Mail Article

quote:

Our council tried to force us to sell our £200,000 home to make room for asylum seekers: Elderly couple's horror after strongly-worded letter lands on their doorstep

An elderly couple who had just moved into their £200,000 house were horrified to receive a letter from their council suggesting the property could be subject to compulsory purchase and used to house asylum seekers.

Jose and Ted Saunders said they were 'insulted and shocked' when the strongly-worded letter from North Northamptonshire Council – which has never balanced its own books - dropped on their mat last month.

It said their neat mid-terraced house in Rushden, near Wellingborough, was deemed to be an empty property, or was 'derelict' and the council could even force them to sell it.

'I couldn't believe it,' said retired carer Jose, 76. 'We moved to Rushden to help provide childcare for my grand-daughter and found this nice little place to live.

'The idea of forcing us to sell it to make room for refugees and asylum seekers seems totally wrong.'










Do you think they wish they had a way to defend themselves? Maybe a protected right?

When do we start organizing and make an example out of some of these people?

Of course the migrants are “mainly single men”.

In some weird twist of irony, these are the types people that should actually be seeking asylum in the GOAT country

The idea of small English villages, populated by roughly the same folks and families for hundreds of years, seeing their homes flooded with complete foreigners fills me with so much sadness.

The British are just too damn polite. That’s what got them into this mess. I’ve seen European Vacation.

White people in Europe are the ones destroying the world starting all these stupid nonsense that comes to America a few years later.

The moderates on here will tell us this isn't what that really means.

I posted about this on the poli board. Why is the property considered un-used? This isn't a new or uncommon regulation (Even here)

I’m not sincerely doubting there’s an ulterior motive but it read more to me like they’re trying to patch up blight. Being in Shreveport I can sincerely relate to this issue as we have tons of people with inherited properties who don’t keep them up and they attract tons of crime. I’m not familiar with English property standards but the picture in the article looks 100x better than the shitholes in my town that the gubmint never bats an eye at. Again, not saying there isn’t some seedy business going on her but naturally Stout has made his own headline to fit his alarmist attitude.
