    So what was the ultimate outcome here? Does the uk government have leave to turn private property into military installations? How’d it go in the courts?

      Lol of course they do. “In the national interest” clears every hurdle every time.

        That’s actually not the case in America. We have a constitutional amendment for it.

          Quartering soldiers is very different than putting an aa emplacement on your roof.

            True, but if you look up relevant case law it more often than not sides with temporary emplacements still being a violation of the 5th amendment when emplaced without due process and just compensation. 🤷‍♂️ The amendments are significantly old, and are meant to be interpreted in modern contexts. You can’t take them at face “this is what is written” value.

            True, but I’m just pointing out that you’re being a bit extremist and that it’s a perfectly rational expectation to not host military at one’s quarters, listing the largest example I could. You might disagree with someone, but calling them insane for sharing an opinion that’s literally enshrined as a right for 400+ million people is a tad overboard, no?
