@GrumpyOldNurse @Cousin_Isobel Homelessness to me is a combination of things. Ever since they closed down entire wings and beds in psychiatric institutions, we’ve seen a rise in homeless people. As you say, Nurse, they self medicate and some become violent. This morning I copy/pasted an article on this and seems like the problem will only get worse, more than likely with even more tragic consequences.

The government has to step in, reinstating the tax brackets that were trimmed down during the Thatcher era (in which only the rich benefitted from), reopening psychiatric beds and care units, investing heavily in social housing.
