For the first time ever I am really struggling to vote Labour in the local elections this Thursday. I wouldn’t hesitate to vote Labour in a general but in Ealing I have real difficulty voting for a party led by Julian Bell. I struggle to see how any person with any principles, let alone socialist ones, would continue to occupy a charity owned home meant for people on the lower income scale who aren’t property owners. Julian Bell has several income streams believed to be in excess of £100k and owns a house in the next street which he rents rooms out in for profit. For 11 years he has been occupying both properties. He knows there’s a housing crisis so I just don’t get how he has allowed such an immoral and perverse situation to continue? Anyone else feeling like this? |
