Jeremy Corbyn: Empty homes owned by rich should be 'requisitioned' for Grenfell Tower residents

Jeremy Corbyn has called for the empty homes of rich people in Kensington to be seized for Grenfell Tower residents who have been made homeless by the fire.

The Labour leader said that the London Borough was a "tale of two cities" between a wealthy south and a rich north.

He suggested that "requisitioning" expensive vacant properties could help ensure that residents are housed locally.

The Government has committed to rehousing all those who lost their homes in the fire in the local area.

However Mr Corbyn said: “Kensington is a tale of two cities. The south part of Kensington is incredibly wealthy, it’s the wealthiest part of the whole country.

Private property confiscation is the very LAST step right before Communism takes over a government.

It becomes clearer everyday the genius of the founding fathers and this type of behavior makes it clear why an amendment 4 was included in the bill of rights.
