Respect for other people’s property is the basis of a decent society. But on this score, the Labour candidate for Birmingham Quinton has more in common with the Zimbabwe dictator Robert Mugabe than the people of Quinton.
“Stealing land off Brits…”On his website he says he favours land nationalization. In a piece published on a blog titled ‘Why Calthorpe needs to go’ he gave more detail.
“So, we TAKE land from the very rich … and give back to the Crown, because the Crown now has a better use for it.”
And his plans for these ill-gotten gains.
“…To sell it off to foreigners!”
“We could sell the land over time to hungry buyers around the world, to sovereign wealth funds, to the Chinese and Russians.”
Like this?
“assets like Ascot Race Course, which no doubt the uber-wealthy Middle Eastern Horse Racing fanatics would be slavering over the possibility of buying.”
The Labour candidate for Quinton is a dangerous fanatic. Just more evidence of Labour's lurch to the left.

Ah yes, but you're a Land Value Taxer and that's nationalisation as well. Or at least that's what people accuse me of.
LVT is a moderate market-based solution. If only Mugabe had gone down that route when he aspired to widen property ownership.
Land seizure is economic vandalism. First they came for the rich landowners...
Somebody pass Dominic a tissue. He's started frothing at the mouth again...
Hello John.
Come on, Praguetory, you could have photoshopped my face onto Mugabe at least!
The only pics I could find of you looked decades out-of-date. Feel free to send me one to praguetory@gmail.com.
