Interesting but hypocritical coming from the UK.
Ultimately its a decision by society: safety net or not? I consider homelessness a personal and national insult and would never stand for it. I also pay 21% VAT on everything I buy.
- ape4 9y agoThere's no hypocrisy. The Guardian newspaper doesn't run the UK.
- richardknop 9y agoIt’s a UK newspaper though wouldn’t you agree?
- jdietrich 9y agoA UK newspaper that has been relentlessly critical of the Conservative government from the minute they took office. A UK newspaper that has run stories about the effects of austerity on an almost daily basis since 2008. A UK newspaper that's currently running a charity telethon to raise funds for homelessness charities. There's no hypocrisy here.
- richardknop 9y agoA UK newspaper which has been supportive of Blairite neo-liberal establishment, including but not limited to foreign adventurism such as invasion of Iraq based on rock solid evidence that there were weapons of mass destruction and we were in danger of mushroom clouds over Europe and US?
- rbanffy 9y agoI think missing the point it's a UN report is rather tragic. This is not a criticism of conservatism. It's a statement of facts.
- rbanffy 9y ago> The Guardian newspaper doesn't run the UK. Which is kind of sad. They'd do a much better job than the tories.
- cgmg 9y ago> hypocritical coming from the UK I don't understand what you're saying. Can you clarify?
