Yeah yeah; I can already see what some of you are thinking: most people don’t have second homes. But that’s not the point. Instead of building more houses, take them away from those who have a spare house. How Trotsky/Marx is that? From the Conservatives!

A shit budget from an even shitter government.
House-building in the richer parts of the country seems to be costing the Conservative Party votes so only natural that they try and free up second homes for regular occupation. We voted in June 2016 not to return small boat immigrants to France, so they all need to live somewhere.
