Reposted by Lisa SchaefferLucian V. Ghost @lucianvghost.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The fact that politicians continue to cry about affordable housing while ignoring the hundred thousands of empty properties across the UK that could benefit those in need is sickening. The UK needs to ensure that homeowners can only own one property, and needs to put an end to corporate ownership. 121
Reposted by Lisa SchaefferLucian V. Ghost @lucianvghost.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The UK doesn't need more housing. We have plenty!

If they used IARC, they would have been able to say to payment processors we use a credible system and tell Collective Shout to raise concerns with regulators.
