The story ran in Saturday's Daily Mail... that the Government apparently plans to seize the homes of dead people from their relatives, if the properties are left vacant for more than six months. But we waited until now to bring you the link, because we were just sure the Daily Mail's readers would want to provide some entertaining comment. We were right:

Well now we know we are living in a totalitarian dictatorship, pure and simple.

Grave robbing ghouls, that is all New Labour are.

What next will this labour government inflict on this country?

A government riddled with ex-social workers. They are people who should not even be allowed out of their own homes, let alone going into the homes of others.

It's about time somebody got tough with the scroungers and layabouts.

They've opened the floodgates to literally millions of immigrants (many of them having no right to be here) and now they think they can put things right by STEALING peoples' houses that have been lawfully bought and paid for.

Can this be true? I've dropped Ruth Kelly and the DCLG a line, asking for their comment. In the meantime, it's time head outside, like the rest of England's homeowners, shotgun in hand, pith helmet on head, and a God-and-Marks-and-Sparks-given right to defend my property from the marauding hordes of lefties, council officials and poofters.
