UK elderly are “wasting too many bedrooms” (CIVIL WAR if they try this in US.

London, England-In yet another outrageous piece of social engineering from our coalition government, pensioners will be encouraged to downsize to smaller properties allowing local councils to rent their homes out as council houses and manage the tenancy.

Local authorities will ‘help’ older people move from their homes into ‘more suitable accommodation’. Grant Schapps, the Housing Minister, who is a conservative member of parliament claims the scheme will solve a so-called ‘housing crisis’ as well as creating a system that will ‘permit access to various sources of wealth’ that are currently not being used to pay for care.

Read that as the elderly will have to raid their pension pots and hand over the equity in their homes - which they have spent a lifetime paying for – in order to put themselves into a care system which is notoriously unfit for purpose.

Despite having paid taxes all their lives, pensioners will be forced to run down their wealth while those that have squandered their money or lived off the state will get free care. The idea is to create more stocks of ‘affordable housing’ for younger families. This is a euphemism for subsidized houses for families that have deadbeat dads, single mothers with a battery of children from different fathers and other assorted welfare dependent cases that need ‘help’.

Sooner or later, the UK will run out of “other people’s money.”

Of course it can happen. We are nothing more than a resource, number of the state.

Private property for "me" but not for "thee" - okay for the elites to have their dachas in the USSR, or wealthy leftists their vast estates - but regular people? Too many useless eaters - ahem, unproductive old people - taking up more than their share of living space. Private property - an antiquated "unfair" concept. And of course the next step would be to just get rid of the useless elderly altogether.

Rural Council = Agenda 21

and YES, it is probably in your little town already - under an innocent, feel good, name. The heads of the groups will have moved in from elsewhere a couple years ago - and are spearheading a ‘sustainable living’ little ‘community’, funding funneling through from tax payers $$$.

http://www.robodoon.com/global_un_agenda_21.htm

Look for it, no matter how far away from the big cities you are - indeed, the further you are, the more likely it's in your town as they intend on taking over fly-over land.

and they have map of the US all plotted out - herding people into the ‘sustainable communities’ that have ‘everything you need within walking distance or pubic transport - no need or place for private transportation. The human living area will be separated by ‘wildlife corridors’ restricted from human use - for wildlife to travel - but don't bet on your having free access to travel independently or without permission/ (scroll down on link to see map. They have this all planned, step by step, inch by inch. They have just been biding time for when they get enough power - they are now all but a hair's breath away from total domination.

And anyone who doesn't think it can't now happen very fast - knows nothing of history and the fall of nations...Even as recent as Nazi Germany and Communist Russia.

People ignored all the signs with the ‘it can't happen here. I can't happen to us.” attitude. And then they woke up one morning to find “It just happened.”

Socialism has it’s costs, and they will be paid.

It will happen here too eventually, if we keep our most popular socialist programs.

Don’t doubt it for a second.

“The minute they take our guns its over.”

The second anyone tries they are over.

A lot of FReepers post that they have "lost" their guns in a boating accident or some such crap.

Well let it be known that I and my family haven't lost ours and if you want them come and try to get them.

It would be best if you send all of your forces as you will need all you you got.
