Richard, I don't give a jot for what anyone pays for a flat. What other people have got is of no interested to me.

 

My point is, how broken society as become.

 

I don't know many folk that could afford those flats, do you?

 

And more to the point, why are they stood empty?

 

Maybe they stood empty waiting to be filled by man made disasters like the one that killed so many so needlessly. Honestly if some shotty work ever took place here in the States like the building in London catching fire, there would be some serious time in a federal penitentiary taking place for many guilty persons.

Absolute bollocks.

Absolute bollocks.

 

How so?. So much cheaper and maintaining the appearance that the government really cares a lot!

It's been broken for a long long long time. There has always been and always will be expensive houses probably empty ones too.

 

I don't know many/any that could afford one but I'm not sure why that matters either?

 

Probably stood empty as they want a return on an investment (as any sane person would) and they aren't getting that from the banks are they!

 

Helping the poor is a good idea but stealing from the rich (stealing is bad yes?) is the wrong answer.

 

The poor (if you can truly say that there are truly poor people here when you look around the world) need to be pushed and helped to make their lives better.

Just my opinion and it would not work I'm sure

Surely if you want to make more money out of these flats you'd rent them out to people?

 

But, to literally land grab is beyond my way of thinking. Those flats were never fully finished because they were never intended to be lived in.

 

If you can explain how ANY Government can allow that to happen I'd be interested to hear.

Stop mincing your words.

The flats probably were not finished as when finished they would have been made to pay full council tax, now they should be made to pay that if they want to keep them empty as that is their choice to do that.

But to ban it would be worse in my opinion.

I wonder how far through parliament a law banning empty houses would get?

 

Do you see ANY of the parties getting that pushed through?

A million pound (or 13) flat it seems

I agree with Ted. Whoever was responsible for signing off the cladding of those flats in flammable material should be jailed. People have lost everything through the negligence of others. They deserve a place to live. Have a heart.

What! People with £13 million pound flats paying full council tax. Whatever as the country come to?

If you read what I said I agree with you they should pay even if empty.

 

Banning it would be very communistic don't you think?

Then again that's what you voted for I suppose[emoji16]
