Rough sleeping: when will it be you?

The number of people living rough on the streets of London has risen - again.

The number of homeless people just keeps on rising, and yet the government does nothing.

A lot of these rough sleepers are recent arrivals from eastern Europe, but not all of them.  Maybe one day dear reader you too will find yourself living in the gutter.  So far as I am aware, the gutters of Mayfair are no less wretched than the gutters of Brixton.

Of course you could take steps to reduce the likelihood that you will ever become a rough sleeper.  For example, you could join a political party which is determined to stamp out homelessness for good.  But will you?
