In this day and age people should not be going around with the begging bowl to provide something that should be a right for everyone
At least we do not have the situation they have in the bastion of free enterprise, the USA, where they have tented cities. This where people who have been thrown out of their homes because they have defaulted on their payments because they were made redundant or had large medical bills have to live.
Victims of policies that are fully supported by many modern day Conservatives.
