House-deprived Homelessness and Rough-sleeping is the tip of the iceberg of evil governmental indifference and systemic lack of care for people.
Look at any government in any nation and you will find woeful stories of neglect regarding the homeless and rough-sleepers. Save for perhaps Japan that is indicative of a nation that values its people, the planet is made up of 'powers' that are able to resolve the issue of insufficient housing stock, ensuring homes for all, able to furnish 'wrap around' services for those needing them; yet CHOOSE not to do so.
They are committing a crime against humanity and they should be brought to account for their crime.
Let them know how you feel, write to your politicians, local government councillors.
Remember at commencement of COVID it took Dame Louise Casey to get central government to agree to placing the majority of rough-sleepers indoors.
Also keep in mind it was only a few months later the unwind started, and soon these house-deprived souls were thrown to the streets.
We should not wait to see if
has a backbone we should remind him daily of his words and assurances.
Guarantees that are met and sustained are needed.
Likewise we should remember the devolved Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland did not follow England in the same way, at the same speed, or with the same intensity — either when taking people off the streets or when letting the protections fade and people drift back onto them.
Scotland did not issue a dramatic “Everyone In”‑style national order.
Councils acted, but unevenly. Some followed England’s lead quickly; others dragged their feet. Scotland pretended to rely more on existing statutory duties (Section 28/29) rather than a new emergency directive.
WE ALL KNOW SECTION 29 WAS AND IS BREACHED BY COUNCILS DAILY AND THE LEGAL SYSTEM SHUTS ITS EYES.
Scotland didn’t “end” a programme because it never launched a single unified one. Instead, the system quietly reverted to pre‑pandemic behaviour.
The UK’s four nations responded to COVID house-deprived homelessness four different ways, but they all ended up with the same structural failure: Deaths, temporary compassion, permanent austerity.
