“The scandal over government-owned flats in #Islington poses the question ‘how many more are there?’”

by Steve Topple in @thecanaryuk

“A block of #MinistryOfJustice (#MoJ)-owned flats in Islington has been lying empty for years – all while desperate families wait for accommodation. So, campaigners took over the flats in protest – but were met by a ridiculous response from the cops.

The protest highlighted the issue of vacant government residential properties. Moreover, the government doesn’t say how many empty homes it owns – and all the while, people live through a housing crisis.”
