Elderly couple felt pressured to sell their home by local council amid government’s push to house migrants
Fox News
A British council sent a letter to a United Kingdom couple asking what they were doing with their "empty" and "derelict" home as the government attempts to house asylum seekers.
"The Government has identified empty privately-owned properties as a potential cause of blight within communities, and as a wasted resource at times of high housing need," read the letter dropped on their doormat. "As part of this process North Northamptonshire Council is identifying empty properties and sites within the area, with the aim of encouraging owners to bring premises back into use or to find alternative options for derelict sites."

The note shocked Jose.
