Poverty

Ireland is as bad. Families living in one hotel room. Houses being built but for the private sector only. A useless response from the Government to homelessness, even after one man died of exposure on the steps of the Dail (our parliament building) a few years back. If it wasn't for charities like Focus and the Peter McVerry Trust, these people would be ignored, stepped over by the politicians on their way into work.

Seems to be getting worse as well, over here anyway. I saw an article recently.on how some Scandinavian country had pretty much eradicated homelessness. Not sure how they did it.

Then I saw this yesterday:

What exactly are they supposed to do? Kill themselves???

Back to the days of Dickens, huh, when the police would "move rough sleepers on". Jesus ****ing Christ.
