Just because someone isn't directly printing outright lies, doesn't mean that what they say is giving an accurate picture of reality.
Seizing the homes of the better off to compensate for the less off is not a solution to homelessness, once we run out of rich people. It's easier to use other people's money until it runs out or run a country into debt until the banks take over the economy (as happens in the EU)

As for the recent disaster we can stop sending economic aid to countries like India which can afford expenditure on space programs which the UK apparently cannot.
Instead jerking around to decide where to the people who through no fault of their own lost their homes, the government can even construct pr-fabricated homes with safety checks of course while it pulls its finger out and starts construction but this time in accordance with legal requirements on construction and safety.
