important by Scot Human Rights Comm today "deeply concerned that the rising rates of homelessness and shortages of affordable housing demonstrate not only failure to progress the realisation of rights but may amount to retrogression in Scotland." www.scottishhumanrights.com/media/2970/s...

‘Rage, rage against the dying of the light’

From poverty through homelessness to climate change, if those who can, choose not to, then rage is a reasonable response. Let them come to terms with what they could have achieved.
