Someone that goes under the nom de plume “The Black Prince”  replied to my comment over yet another ridiculous anti-labour article, having got their undies seriously twisted over the suggestion that empty property in London should be used to re-home those displaced by the Grenfell Tower fire.

Just to quote from their reply

“ Corbyn’s “demand” to confiscate empty property as a populist ploy following the Grenfell tragedy and you then start to understand just how dangerous and immoral this opposition party are as they try to gain power by any means.”

I think what our “Black Prince” (obviously not much of an ego thing going on with a screen name like that LOL) is really worried about is the serfs getting uppity.

So letting people burn in the name of austerity is OK if it saves a few quid? In a city like London property’s should not be kept empty, but they are. If a property was left empty it used to be legal to squat in it, and most of those places were left in pretty good order and it was often the case that when the owner came to take possession eventually folks just moved on elsewhere.
This was of course in what your average Maggie fan refer to as the dark ages or the 1970’s  

Interestingly I am told to go and re-educate myself.  Now I admit I am genuine working class scum through and through and quite poorly educated, but in part that was due to having the crap beaten out of me by middle class kids mostly. I think they may have had the advantage through better diet. Though to be fair a few NF supporters also had a go and they tended to be more from my socioeconomic tranche.
Being dyslexic before it was recognised medically did not help much either, but that’s a whole other story

So just for you “Black Prince” here is a passage from a 2000 year old book mostly about a bloke in the middle east that started life as chippie that thought it might be a good idea to be nice and charitable to each other, and was executed by the authority’s for his troubles. No doubt you will read it and say “Its not fair” 

“For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. So when evening was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny. And when they had received it, they murmured against the good man of the house, Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny? Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee. Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen…”
