London is facing the most severe homelessness challenge in the country. Whilst rough sleeping is the most visible, there are an estimated 170,000 homeless Londoners living in temporary accommodation. This equates to one in 50 residents of the capital and includes one in every 23 children.
"Automation has always been about turning people into machines: brainless and disposable. To be a Luddite is to demand a say in the future. It's not enough to ask what a machine does - we have to ask who it does it for and who it does it to." - Cory Doctorow @pluralistic
