Dickensian Britain

I don’t think so, Oreo; the article talks about families, often fleeing from domestic abuse, who are sofa surfing, in hostels or temporary accommodation, not knowing where they will be moved to next, often travelling miles to get to this school, which is an absolute haven of security for them.

Homeless means living in temporary housing or B &B doesn’t it? Are the numbers bumped up by asylum seeking families and those here legally like Afghans who are waiting for permanent housing? London social housing has been a problem for a while and yet more and more people coming to live there, a real problem for any council there.

If we had a Government that cared about the people it supposedly represents then it wouldn't be happening.
But hey, that's what we voted for.

Sorry the question mark should not be there in the title.
