It does not reflect on Mr. Robinson. He has a job to do. The point is that people who are working and who have families are being displaced because their tenancy is legally up and they are told to get out or pay an excessive amount. The excessive amount is because the properties can go to Airbnb. While we cannot control that, it is because it is a short-term let, these guys just cannot pay and they have to get out. I could write to Mr. Robinson about the details.
