Ok, my argument was that when we poors fight only the wealthy win. I understand it fine, do you? You don't seem to.

But anyways here was your comment which cherry picked the article:

Those 700k aren’t just sat there empty.

>>There are various reasons why a home may be vacant, including that they’re up for sale, in probate, or under renovation

That isn't the full sentence is it? You left off some relevant information didn't you? That's called cherry picking isn't it?

Oh look, I told you what I wanted you to do:

No partial quotes please:

>>There are various reasons why a home may be vacant, including that they’re up for sale, in probate, under renovation, **are occupied solely during the week or at the weekend, have been bought as an investment or have simply been abandoned.**

I'll ask you again: why are you resorting to cherry picking? I thought you wanted to jog on?

    why wouldn’t you tackle the problem at the source? build more houses and put a temporary hold on immigration?

    This was OPs point. You had to ram a load of boring leftist wank about billionaires without answering his fucking point

    You are the one deflecting.

    Fewer people, more houses. It's not that deep

    We'll get there. But, to get to the op we have to go through my reply, and to get to my reply we have to go through your reply.

    The reply that was pure cherry picking. So I'll ask again, why did you cherry pick the article?

    You see, what you did was cherry pick a very small, and incidental part, of a much bigger argument... Which I called out as a Reverse Gish Gallop. Until you see that we're not going to have a particularly productive conversation, are we?

    It is going to be like when you couldn't answer whether an abandoned house was unoccupied. How dull, I really hoped you wanted to jog on.

    Oh gosh, it's you again. I had hoped you jogged on.

    You see, what you did was cherry pick a very small, and incidental part, of a much bigger argument... Which I called out as a Reverse Gish Gallop. Until you see how ridiculous that was, we're not going to have a particularly productive conversation, are we?

    Once again: Why did you decide to cherry pick?
