Moonbat Strikes Again.

January 8, 2011 Longrider Civil Liberties, General Rants, misanthropy, Political 5

I appreciate that I am late to this one, but I just couldn’t let it pass.

While most houses are privately owned, the total housing stock is a common resource.

No. It. Is. Not.

I own my house and the spare bedroom is for the use of the current owners and no one else. It is up to no one, not the state and certainly not Monbiot to decide how that spare room is used. We paid for it, we decide. End of. George Monbiot is an enemy of liberty and certainly has little, if any, grasp of the principle of private property.

I doubt I was the only one who had flashbacks to the scene in Dr Zhivago where the family home is sequestered by the state for communal living when reading this piece of utter, utter tripe. Monbiot was born out of time and place –  his was certainly at the forefront of the October revolution.

In his risible, misanthropic piece, Monbiot comes up with yet another “footprint”. This time, it is a housing footprint. Frankly, the only footprint that interests me is the size ten planted firmly on Monbiot’s backside.

  1. Agreed.

    This is a silly and bureaucratic way of (not) achieving something that would probably happen of its own accord if we replace all taxes with Land Value Tax, kept government spending to a bare minimum and dished out the surplus as a Citizen’s Income.

  2. The scene that flashed through my mind was from Schindler’s List that portrays him settling into a luxurious house, reading a document that says “who previously owned” the house. At about the same time we see the rightful owner being shunted into half a room in the Ghetto.

  5. Longrider, a tip, use the N104 around the east of Paris, it is longer and from its exit a CDH airport on the route north to the exit for the SW takes about 1 hour, I use it whenever I go to the U.K via Calais and have never been delayed by roadworks or accidents on it. I’m very vague on road numbers, however it is easy to find on any type of map, it is well signposted and even I find it difficult to get lost using it.
