London, England-In yet another outrageous piece of social engineering from our coalition government, pensioners will be encouraged to downsize to smaller properties allowing local councils to rent their homes out as council houses and manage the tenancy.
Local authorities will ‘help’ older people move from their homes into ‘more suitable accommodation’. Grant Schapps, the Housing Minister, who is a conservative member of parliament claims the scheme will solve a so-called ‘housing crisis’ as well as creating a system that will ‘permit access to various sources of wealth’ that are currently not being used to pay for care.
Read that as the elderly will have to raid their pension pots and hand over the equity in their homes - which they have spent a lifetime paying for – in order to put themselves into a care system which is notoriously unfit for purpose.
Despite having paid taxes all their lives, pensioners will be forced to run down their wealth while those that have squandered their money or lived off the state will get free care. The idea is to create more stocks of ‘affordable housing’ for younger families. This is a euphemism for subsidized houses for families that have deadbeat dads, single mothers with a battery of children from different fathers and other assorted welfare dependent cases that need ‘help’.

I lived in California when the idea was floated to make use of spare bedrooms for homeless and seasonal workers. Mature citizens who’s children are grown and gone are being greedy if they don’t make use of their extra space and spare bath.
Just shoot them and take their property. It worked wonders in Russia, China, and Cambodia.
Or, as George Bernard Shaw suggested, have them appear before a board, once a year, to explain why they should be allowed to live. If they can’t provide a good reason, then shoot them. At least they’d receive a fair trial.
The only thing worse than CW2 would be an irreversible slide into totalitarian tyranny, which might be as hard to escape as that in Cuba or North Korea.
The UK and parts of continental Europe have become really scary in the past decade or so. Have you seen this thread?
MP: Norwegian Blondes Dye Hair to Avoid Harrassments from Immigrants
I think we know who these "immigrants" are... :-(
Does this also mean the British sheeple cannot own second homes or seasonal/vacation homes?
Open the socialist door and there’s no stopping it.

It’s the same liberals who act as ‘food police’ trying to get everyone to give up enjoyment of food so they can tack on an extra 6 months in a nursing home ... There’s something very twisted about liberals.
Pretty sad, isn’t it? They have to hide their blond hair to keep from being attacked. Time to send the mohammedans packing.
This has already been addressed on previous threads. There is a lack of housing in the UK, and unlike the United States, there is no more room build more. Their population density is approaching Japans, and you just can’t build a big a bigger island.
The hysteria on FR is reaching epic proportions, and critical thinking is at an all time low.
