It's a good prediction

2019-10-09 15:31:09 UTC  

End the war on drugs will bring them somewhere between 2 and 5bn a year in revenue and savings

2019-10-09 15:32:40 UTC  

Legalise consumption of some drugs, start selling it, tax it

2019-10-09 15:32:45 UTC  

Not all, obviously

2019-10-09 15:32:46 UTC  

THat's what i mean

2019-10-09 15:33:04 UTC  

If he's prepared to make massive investment in social housing, he'd be able to save a lot on the housing benefit budget

2019-10-09 15:33:17 UTC  

"""Social housing"""

2019-10-09 15:33:22 UTC  

It's an endless money pit

2019-10-09 15:33:26 UTC  

Yes, it is

2019-10-09 15:33:28 UTC  

There's plenty of houses in the UK

2019-10-09 15:33:40 UTC  

Force people to rent them out if they're sat there empty

2019-10-09 15:33:43 UTC  

legalise all drugs, if people die taking them that's just natural selection

2019-10-09 15:33:43 UTC  

Like THOUSANDS in London

2019-10-09 15:33:46 UTC  

But it's an even bigger money pit when you have a housing shortage but you're paying taxpayer money to private landlords in order to house poor people

2019-10-09 15:34:01 UTC  

The housing shortage is coming from people leaving their homes empty

2019-10-09 15:34:06 UTC  

It's not

2019-10-09 15:34:07 UTC  

Like in London for example

2019-10-09 15:34:28 UTC  

There are over 2 million people homeless or underhomed in the UK. There are not empty homes for 2 million people in London

2019-10-09 15:34:45 UTC  

And the number increases every year

2019-10-09 15:34:58 UTC  

Part of it is, mostly though it's because we haven't built homes and for some reason don't want to build on unnatural greenspace

2019-10-09 15:35:07 UTC  

Stop building more homes.

2019-10-09 15:35:15 UTC  

It's a waste of money and land usage

2019-10-09 15:35:21 UTC  

Take the homes away from faggots not using them

2019-10-09 15:35:31 UTC  

OK Corbyn

2019-10-09 15:35:33 UTC  

No point building on greenspace when you a) need the greensspace for the environment and food, and b) people want the homes where the work is

2019-10-09 15:35:37 UTC  

Calm down

2019-10-09 15:35:51 UTC  

Kek, nothing wrong with Corbyns policy in that regard tbh

2019-10-09 15:35:57 UTC  

IN general you want to be limiting population growth and then fixing the housing crisis we have

2019-10-09 15:36:10 UTC  

Then force people to rent or sell their empty homes @Eccles

2019-10-09 15:36:16 UTC  

Just tax the shit out of empty homes

2019-10-09 15:36:17 UTC  

Easy. Badda bing, badda boom.

2019-10-09 15:36:17 UTC  

Waste of land usage as compared to what? Farming is uneconomical and their are plenty of greenspaces within a radius of cities

2019-10-09 15:36:32 UTC  

And tax the shit out of empty houses yes

2019-10-09 15:36:36 UTC  

"Waste of land usage as compared to what" Compared to more empty homes.

2019-10-09 15:36:46 UTC  

Why build more homes which are going to sit empty, unused?

2019-10-09 15:36:47 UTC  

Honestly if I owned a empty home

2019-10-09 15:36:53 UTC  

And you wanted to tax it or kick out

2019-10-09 15:36:54 UTC  

I'd be renting that shit

2019-10-09 15:36:56 UTC  

Farming is not uneconomical

2019-10-09 15:36:58 UTC  

I'd convert to commercial
