I've spent some time in UK homeless shelters

And every. single. person I came across who spouted "I can barely afford the essentials in this economy, greedy billionaires" made sure that they first bought their "essential essentials" - cigarettes, alcohol, cannabis. And of course - had the money for the tattoos and the iPhone.

Every. Single. One. "oh, I can't do that tax funded, government regulated course on the tax funded pc I got from the state with internet access paid for by the tax payer... also why can't I get a job? It's this economy, greedy billionaires"

Have you "spent some time in UK homeless shelters" in the same way that Robert Jenrick MP "spent time" in Handsworth, Birmingham before delivering his withering critique of multiculturalism? 🤔

The homeless people I interact with are more concerned with eating and not freezing to death than the suspicuously articulate arguments you have put in their mouths.

@SunshineGirl No, I've been in the stations of both being homeless myself, and providing the homeless with food on an industrial level. And my degree is concerned with the provision of health services on the levels of populations. So, I give it a lot of thought.
