Same people outraged by Theresa May threatening to change Human Rights Law now supporting Jeremy Corbyn threatening to change the Law in order to Requisition property from foreigners.

Surely I can't be the only person to see the hypocrisy here?

On one hand you have people being outraged that Theresa May would suggest changing Human Rights laws to allow a stronger response to terrorism, primarily because people are worried that certain minorities and ethnic groups would be targeted and because it could lead to a slippage in Human Rights for us all.

Yet now those same people are supporting Jeremy Corbyn's view that empty property owned by foreigners should be "Requisitioned". Would this not also be a worrying slippage in the law and our rights? Is this not also specifically targeting certain non-British demographics? Or is it OK because it only initially targets the rich?
