[Diggers350] An Englishman’s Home Is His Prison? Labour’s 1.5m homes will be dominated by private equity firms, charging huge rents

[David Halpin]

My assumption too - bold. But at base the banking racket post Fed 
Reserve. *Fractional Reserve Banking.* NOT DISCUSSED - including by good 
Jeremy. Now a recession is being engineered AGAIN - time for that 
revolution of the mind - in the streets - with millions. No weapons, no 
MI5 spoilers - bricks through windows. Minds and hands.  Diggers all.
