Green Party Wants to Put the Queen in a council house - and so it begins!
The Leader of the Green party has said in an interview in the Times they would put the Queen, Kate and Wills and the rest of the royal family into one of the new council houses they are proposing to build, confiscate £430m of the Queen's money, flog off Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle and abolish the monarchy.

Given their recent rise in the polls I knew it was only a matter of time before we started seeing these sorts of stories! Given the media onslaught on UKIP I do have some sympathy - albeit mixed with a little schadenfreude.:D
And there is plenty more to come.

e2a : I don't care one way or the other about bankers but if you want to abolish the monarchy do it out of principle not for a one-off payment which probably is too good to be true...
The Queen owns Balmoral and Sandringham and does not need to be re-housed.
Ever heard of compulsory purchase orders?! The government can take anything off you if it wants to.
Of course its silly - the Queen is independently wealthy and worth billions.
The point is this story is now leading on LBC and other platforms as being Green policy - given we know how it works expect headines such as Evil Aussie Green wants to see Queen out on the streets and Prince George homeless by tomorrow!
Its a distraction of course from their planned policy of building loads of new council houses - rather than all these ridiculous bailouts, schemes and handouts for developers we have now which are wonderful for their shareholders and bad for young people needing housing as they just push up prices even more.
It certainly is a silly comment for any politician to make. It might have appeal for idealistic young students though.
The Queen owns Sandringham and that includes the home of William and Catherine Cambridge.
It's all derived from taxpayer hand-outs and/or land grabs as a result of the Inclosures Acts. All of that property should eventually find its way back into income generation for the majority.
The rule of law was whatever the King or Queen wanted. Much of the land ownership in Britain is derived from land having been stolen from someone else and granted to someone who was in with the Monarchy at the right time.
And from the Lib Dems too.
And it's about time the Acts that enabled this were repealed and the land put back into ownership of the people.
Sandringham is the much-loved country retreat of Her Majesty The Queen, and has been the private home of four generations of British monarchs since 1862. Her name is on the deeds. It's hers.
CPO it - and use it to provide housing to some of the 32,000 people on the council house waiting list in Norfolk?

Vote Green - you know it makes sense!:D
A CPO would soon sort that out.
And what about my original idea? Don't you think that would be a net gain for the country?
sounds like an excellent idea to me
No I don't. Seizing other people's property does not appeal to me.
Property is theft.
These things aren't written in blood, you know? The main reason she owns it is because she inherited loads of money and power. That's all.
She'll be dead in a few years, anyway.
That's better than going the other way which is what the Coalition is doing.
Forcing people out of their council houses by stealth (such as the Bed room tax) or by wealth such as if they earn too much.
So that they are forced into either private accommodation (paying the rich) or having to buy a house and giving money to the banks.
When she dies it will be inherited.
I bought me house and spent many years paying off my mortgage. My house belongs to me. I did not steal it.
