wd The Govt and the property developers that have just made 68 flats available in

[Sir C]

I'm sure this is all very splendid and whatnot, but I'm struggling to see how me having to pay for it is a good plan, to be honest.

Surely these people will all end up being due a simply enormous payout from the landlords or whoever else is eventually deemed blameworthy? Why is the taxpayer having to bear the burden?

I predict a spate of arson attacks on council blocks this summer.

Actually, fúck it, I'll burn my own house down and then wait for the council to give me £5,500 and a cheap flat in a luxury block. That's how it works, right?

No. If you actually pay full whack for your own property and it burns down, the government just thinks you're a sucker and gives you sweet fùck all. If, on the other hand, you spend your life relying on the state to keep a roof above your head, they will apparently hand you a wad of used notes and upgrade you to something nicer within two weeks.

To be fair, they just crawled out of a burning building. I'd bung them a few quid, no problem there. But a luxury pad in Kensington is taking the ****ing piss.

Who else gets bunged a few quid for crawling out of a burning building? Every other fúcker just has to get on with it. Making the news doesn't make you more deserving of charity than any other poor sod whose house has burnt down round his ears.

but Jeremy et al has turned this tragedy all political and ****. The timing of the fire couldn't have been worse, from a hung parliament pov.

Ho hum. At least there's a property developing firm out there whose board are currently up to their nuts in coke and hookers, having just sold 68 flats in Kensington and Chelsea in one go at what is almost certainly way above market value (this being government purchasing). They must be fücking creaming themselves.

You don't enjoy a bit of right-wing virtue-signalling

I've looked at several reports and have seen nothing about 'cost price', I'm afraid. Indeed, I'd struggle to know what that term would even mean in the context of property.

Might one enquire which people you are referring to as a '****ing joke', and why you would hold such an abusive view?
