55 homeless children die in the UK as a result of government policy
Not coming back: in deference to good taste, it seemed reasonable to run an image of a child running away down a back alley, as symbolic of those who have left us and are not coming back because of government policies on poverty and homelessness.
Today (March 5, 2024), This Site published an article about the starvation of children in Gaza, quoting the famous line that if you want to know what politicians would do to you if they could get away with it, look what they support abroad.
Here’s what they are getting away with, here in the UK:
🚨 55 homeless children have died in temporary accommodation since 2019
Of those 55 children, 42 were less than a year old.
A record 142,490 children in England are currently living in temporary accommodation.https://t.co/oc4917VTyO

In that other article, I made reference to the late Tony Benn’s words: “The way governments treat refugees is the way they would treat the rest of us if they could get away with it.”
It seems that, here in the UK, they are getting away with it.
