The Govts new housing plan - Delivering Homes,
Building Communities - opens by recognising a home as a need, not a right. It goes on to say they’ve made significant progress? Like increasing homelessness is progress? You can’t solve a problem if you don’t acknowledge it, lads.

Remember me when I am gone away,
Far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
