Three-thousand five-hundred *children* without a home. Fucking *children*. Aren’t we a great little country? Doing well with our GDP and our full employment are we? Record profits pouring in, our leaders waggling their smug chins around boardrooms and EU summits.
While there is even one single child in this country who does not have a home to grow up in, we have failed as a society and should be deeply ashamed of where our priorities lie.
“But the lack of supply doesn’t explain…”
Yes it does.
A lot of the homeless don’t want houses and if they get offered one that’s far away they turn it down because it’s “inconvenient to them”

Or maybe, inviting 100,000 people to a small country, that is already experiencing a housing crisis, wasn’t the cleverest idea by this government
