Starmer’s housing policies aim to steal land from those who worked hard - Yorkshire Post Letters
Keir Starmer has announced the new Labour Party policy for their so called solution to Britain’s housing shortage and we realise that he will be following the old socialist tradition of stealing property from those who, as a result of hard work, have managed to purchase agricultural land and pay them a pittance for stealing it from them, using compulsory purchase orders in the true communist tradition.
This is a much used principle used by many governments throughout the so called civilised world and is simply an expression of jealousy and an attempt to punish those hard working thrifty individuals who have toiled on their farms to save up a few quid to help in their retirement and to hopefully pass on to their kids when they are dead.

But stealing land from private landowners will simply impoverish those landowners and I doubt that it will result in any increase in housebuilding.
If the punishment of private landowners is the object of this exercise, rather than increasing house building, then there is no doubt that this policy will be a roaring success for a future Labour Government as it will punish hard work, capitalism and free enterprise.
