This lot are coming for your house. You have worked hard all your life, brought up your children and have got yourself a nice house with three or four bedrooms; maybe like me you have a spare room for when relatives stay over and have converted one former bedroom into an office / study. Ah but now you are a " clinging to your home long after it has outlived its usefulness" citizen. You are hoarding resources that need to be "reallocated". It's all in the interests of "fairness" of course so just pack one small suitcase, that's your cattle truck over there grandad, kommen Sie bitte mit uns. Raus Opa! Raus!.
Of course they are using very soothing words at first; it's all about encouragement...
IF suggested encouraging older people to downsize by exempting over-60s from stamp duty when they sold to move to a smaller home... but pretty much in the same breath as they wave a small carrot they go on to wield a fucking big stick...
The campaign group also urged the government to consider replacing council tax with "a proper land tax, to reflect the social cost of occupying housing, particularly housing that is larger than one's needs".
And it seems that founder Angus Hanton has previous, here's an interview he did with
Well if you don't feel entitled to it then maybe I suggest you sell up and donate the money to a soup kitchen or whatever charity assuages your disgusting middle class white male guilt. Don't for one fucking second presume to tell me what I can and can't do with my money you odious collectivist shit.
“Let’s take my own house [which] I bought 16 years ago for £160,000. It’s in south-east London. It’s now worth about £1.15m.”
“So I’ve gained a million pound windfall to which I do not feel entitled, and that windfall, at the moment, is tax-free. Were I to sell [the house], there’s no tax on that gain.”
“It may appear very lucky for me, but the reality is when I sell, it will probably be to a younger person who’ll be getting a mortgage and spending most of their working life paying off that windfall which went to me. I don’t think that’s fair.
And just in case you think this bunch of twats are pissing in the wind ask yourself why this is the second story on the BBC's website this morning, the lead article on the Today programme and why the inaugural speakers at their launch are shadow minister Tessa Jowell, and Labour life peer Baroness Bryony Worthington?
Bastards the lot of them.

Why do I get the funny feeling that these mongs figure it will be them drawing up the lists of the deserving and the undeserving.
People spend their money how they want to, we have invested in our homes and must be allowed to keep them rather than downsize. These young people decide how much they want to waste on entertainment, pubs and clubs, recreational drugs and clothes. I am fully behind you on this one, grumpy dragon.
