It's cold, miserable and wet tonight, too many people living on the streets, homeless, wondering which doorway to sleep in. Meanwhile, Tory MP's with tax payer funded heating will be wondering which bottle of wine to open next, as they decide on how to implement the next wave of austerity. #ToryBritain #CostofLivingCrisis
@ElaineDyson
I maintain that any society with homeless people is a failure and needs to reconsider its values. We have so much of it here in the states & so many wealthy, it's a disgrace.
@HalinaA @ElaineDyson People say the older you get the more conservative you get but.. the older I get the more Left I go. "People Still Homeless" should be on the front page of every fucking newspaper every day until it's handled. Corporate ownership of houses is evil, housing should be a right. Apartment buildings should be a co-op, not a profit machine... and so so much more.
@VictorZiblis @ElaineDyson
I completely agree, including that I have been moving further left as I become older.
@ElaineDyson I was as a project worker in a homeless shelter. The problem is getting worse and isn’t going to improve anytime soon. We have about 10 full time members of staff but are only able to stay open because of an army of volunteers. There are so many good souls about but there needs to be because of this sinister Tory government.
@ElaineDyson that should read I am a project worker!!
It’s Sunday morning and my eyes aren’t focused yet 😬
@City70 Would like a private chat please for advise Lee, if possible, for a homeless friend of mine. Thank you ☕
@ElaineDyson no problem, I’m at work until 5 today but later I’m available. What’s the best way for us to have a private chat ?
@City70
I can DM you my mobile number so you can keep yours private if you prefer. I'm off work for the rest of today, so whatever suits you, thank you.
