which is pointless as they tell you nothing at all. Unless like several in here you want to add meaning to them that they just don't contain.

Oh so you don't have detail of a planned state intervention but have automatically assumed one idea is awful.
In any case, I hope all parties agree there is an issue with unoccupied housing (in Birmingham I think the issue is more acute) that needs state intervention, quibbling about the method isn't a big priority for me as long as a sensible solution occurs!
nope, not wanting to add any further meaning to them nor do I need to in order to comment on two tweets...
that is correct - I don't need a detailed plan to comment that the suggestion/principle in two tweets is a bad one
except you did, as everyone can see from your post, that included many things that simply were not contained in those tweets.
like what? give an example? I just commented on the principle.
"you don't just confiscate houses"
That is not in the tweets, that is adding your interpretation to it, that just isn't in there.
Are you trying to tell me there isn't a lot of hate flowing towards the PM? She's a prime target for a left wing nutter.
yes it is, that is literally what the tweets have suggested the government do... requisition empty homes/flats
I reckon it's down to economics. The DM/Sun have probably realised that it's Corbyn that's poppin' right now & May's old hat, so they are going to steadily switch sides. Yes they stand to make more money under May, but I reckon not been I tune with the public mood would lose them more money.
no it really isn't.
requestion does not mean confiscated, it doesn't even mean forced in all circumstances.
"demand the use or supply of (something) by official order."
you really are trying and failing at splitting hairs here...
Sorry but from the way you framed it, I thought there was at least a white paper at large for solving the issue of unoccupied housing via state intervention using taxation and you were comparing that to a suggested route of direct state intervention which you feel implies forced sale/automatic state ownership.
As it turns out there seems to be no current plan/government position and very little detail beyond identification of a problem in a tweet by the leader of the opposition.
Perhaps we could agree my above statement is a little more balanced in terms of a description of the current state of play?
now how about quoting all the uses, it is not splitting hairs at all, what you said simply can't not be ascertained by the tweet, and certainly not confiscating it.
Secondly, it won't happen anyway, as the current process is lengthy and requires giving the owner time to sale/rent it out etc. So there is no legal framework for just taking it.
I didn't frame it that way at all, I directly quoted the source, the same source you quoted...

That's not strictly true either as Corbyn doesn't tweet, it was two labour MP's not the leader.

No, we voted on whether to swap FPTP for Alternative Vote in 2011.

Someone tweets under Corbyn's official account.
you can if you like, it doesn't change much:
"the act of requiring or demanding." , "to demand or take, as by authority, for military purposes, publicneeds, etc.:" from your quote for example...
i.e. take people's homes, confiscate them, demand them etc..
which is what I commented on
so you ignore the other meanings and go with the one which suits your onion. Exactly what I said. So well done for rather than merely quoting it, using your own meaning and biased.
I've not ignored all meanings...you're still trying to split hairs here and completely failing, the meanings of the world you quoted support exactly the same thing...is this some sort of reading comprehension issue for you?
