On homelessness.
In West End as
cuppa tee says seeing homeless people is common. Its got to the point where the cops leave them alone. As long as they are not to near tourist areas like Oxford Street.

Rise in homelessness not result of our policies, says housing secretary
Tory minister argues that one can't reduce homelessness increase down to Tory policies. Despite major charities like Crisis saying that is the case. This according to Minister Brokenshire is down to complex social problems like family breakdown and addiction. One simply can't reduce it to simple criticism of Tory government. He of course really cares about the plight of the homeless. He says that so it must be the case.
A typical case of a right wing person presenting themselves as personally caring, understanding and tolerant ( he puts in gay rights at one point in the interview) who sees social problems as complex. So please don't do anything as vulgar as blaming the Tory government.
Its prime example of how political discourse works now. I almost feel nostalgic for the days of Thatcher. At least it was straightforward then.
Now this tactic of undermining ones opponents permeates politics and society.
The fact is Brokenshire is Tory scum. He is minister in government that is causing this.
To add notice he slips in non UK nationals as a cause of increase. Nice touch scumbag. Not in least banging the anti immigration drum. Just slips it in quietly.
