Re: Galloping disinformation as usual
There have been been cases where wealthy families have had to give up their homes for refugees
Anecdotes and assertions are not evidence. Show us a news report or official reference to this happening. A name of the people that this actually happened to, I know a guy that has a cousin that knows a guy is not evidence. A YouTube rant is worthless and probably a lie.
If it wasn't a lie they would have referred to the actual people it happened to.

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

There is no good reason to dismiss video evidence as inferior.
WOW!!!! IT BURNS!!!!
Sure there is. Have you ever notice how government reports, news articles and other real evidence refers to the source of their information? I didn't think so.
None of these videos refer to an actual source of the information. They traffic in assertion, innuendo and hate. There is a reason they never provide a source. Because there is none. Maybe you should ask for the source of their assertions.

Then give us the original source information. If there is a source for the assertion rich people are losing their homes give it.
Put up or shut up.
I wont watch videos of hate. Provide the sources.

See Percy's comment below. Videos are no better than a bare link. Present the source material or retract.
Well you google search produced no legitimate news source. But even they do not support what you claim.
From the Sunday Express
quote:
The local council's head of social services Ali Rashid said: "We certainly think there are many houses and rooms that can be rented out for the winter.
"Like many other municipalities we have housing needs. There are many groups that need help: refugees, young people and other people who have contact with us."
He continued: "How much is the rent will be a matter between them, the municipality does not interfere.
"We want the usual rental laws will apply. It should not be us who rents the houses.
Why are you so against capitalism? What are you a damn commie?
Oh and it seems the people are all for it.
quote:
Mr Rashid said he had been pleased by a "surprisingly strong" response from local residents.
He said: "People have called and asked questions and shown much interest.
"We write down all the names and contact them to see what homes are suitable - and hope that even more will be available in the future when more come back from holiday.
"We have received very positive feedback and every extra accommodation we can access is valuable to us."
Why can't you do your own research? Instead you let people lie to you and support them to the bitter end.

Oh yeah you do realize that that is just a google search page and not evidence of anything don't you?
I guess you think Unicorns are real too. Here is a google page supporting it.

And I have to ask why you really think it is wrong to ask people with vacant properties to consider letting them when there is a housing shortage. Surely such a minimal measure is entirely civilised and entirely compatible with democracy.
All I can figure is Faith is a commie. She doesn't think people should be renting out their properties.
The whole thing goes to show how far the radical right will and needs to go in order to come up with anything to justify their position.
If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Re: deportations
You have a pathological need to never admit you are wrong. You have never admitted that, of the multitudes of times you have been totally utterly wrong, you are wrong.

Re: fake news and more fake news

WOW!! Freaking wow!!
Are you so wrapped up in your right wing bubble that you can actually ask this question?
Folks I am really starting to think we are being Poe'd. No one can be this so unaware and so self unaware. Can they?
