The number in the part of London we were in over the weekend was distressing. Our government seems oblivious to them, and of course the number we see are only the tip of the iceberg once you start to add in the thousands of couch surfers

That photo was taken a few years ago in Barcelona. Even the numbers in my little town is staggering. Most governments world wide just try to hide the homeless. Out of sight out of mind

Such a great duo. The first new LP I bought was Simon and Garfunkel. The concert in Central Park was good. I play the DVD every now and then

Oh, darlin! I really can’t like this one. One of the things I hate about returning to the UK is the people sleeping on our streets. In a rich country it is so wrong!

I know Jo. I have been contemplating using it since the start of the squares. I think it needed to be said. The same in a wealthy country like Australia

I’m noticing the visible face of homelessness more and more here, and not just in the cities. And of course, as Becky says, what we see is only the tip of the iceberg. I’m starting to feel that I’m living in a Dickens novel.

Friends of mine run a charity that delivers bedding and clothing to families in need. Some of the horror stories they hear about the “homes” people have to live in are just heart-breaking. And those people aren’t considered homeless!

That is so wrong when govts decide if you are homeless or not

There is so much wrong with the way poverty has been not just allowed, but actively encouraged through policies that penalize the poorest and allow the rich to get richer.

This is a thought provoking take on the challenge. It is distressing to see so many people on the streets, both here in the UK and when we were living in California. However… a friend of mine volunteers with a homeless shelter in the winter time here in England and, despite the availabilty of help to find accommodation and work, some of the people she sees actively choose to remain homeless. I was very surprised to hear that.
