Property Disrespected

Some crime can be considered gross disrespect of other people's property. The government is hardly helping: News release.

This comes from the Office of the Deputy Two Jags and is tantamount to legalised theft. These homes belong to someone and, regardless of the apparently laudable aims, the government has no right to commandeer people's property unless they have committed a crime.

Apparently the legislation that the worst-minister-in-an-awful-government is consulting on allows for homes to be stolen "... six months from the time they become unoccupied - the minimum time period provided by the legislation - or a longer period."

I don't want to be misunderstood, as a non-homeowner, I would really like house prices to be lower, but taking people's homes from them just because they are doing something with it that the government doesn't like is simply wrong.
