I'm in Bournemouth on work. The homelessness is on another level...right next to Sandbanks...
The Tories have created ghetto cities where the rich just shit on the poor and the people in between are too scared to join the poor so keep very quiet.
Homelessness is just something people would sooner ignore. I’ve followed you for a while, (mainly in the other place), and I know you don’t just look the other way. I think it’s admirable.👏👏👍
This is what makes yesterday’s tax avoidance parade, all the more obscene.
How is this a civilised country, when we have the media caring more about what will happen to the Super wealthy’s money after they die, than people freezing to death on the streets of Britain today?
Over my life (mostly in London) I have watched homelessness rise and fall like a tide - but never go away. I learnt a long time ago that throwing bricks at national politicians about it gets nowhere - whatever party. There are simply too many complicated issues behind it. Very sad
