This is the home address of the council leader of Wandsworth Council. They have served a single-parent family with an eviction notice after the tenant's son was charged in court over disturbances during the recent troubles.

This may be within the letter of the law, but it violates all sense of justice and fair-play. Indeed, it cannot do otherwise, because its aim is not justice but revenge. Forcing a mother and her son into homelessness isn't the answer, it's a disgrace.

Let's send a clear message that we will not accept this spiteful attitude.

As someone who had to flee the persecution of an insane bigot it is interesting to see him act like one.Collective punishment eh? A tactic used by the British Imperialists looting Africa and then the Nazis. And he further wants to deplete the housing stock with reintroducing Thatchers dodgy right to buy scheme, well abused by corrupt councils in the 1980s.

I thought collective punishment was illegal?

They always seem to say it is illegal under international law when the Israeli govt bulldozes the homes of families of suicide bombers, so why isn't this illegal?

And if they are made homeless won't the council be legally obliged to rehome them anyway?

Its not "punishment". It is "loss of privileges"
A council house is not a human right and can be taken away as easily as it was given.

> And if they are made homeless won't the council be legally obliged to rehome them anyway?
No. They've lost that privilege
