As Nobel laureate Angus Deaton claims, 'The war on poverty has become a war on the poor’
Must be so lovely to decide others living situations from your ivory tower.
Happy Guy Fawks day everyone.
The war on homelessness as inspired by the war on drugs.
What a sociopath.

LONDON, Nov 4 (Reuters) - Britain’s interior minister Suella Braverman said on Saturday she would propose new laws to limit the use of tents by homeless people, saying many of them see it as “a lifestyle choice”.
In a post on X, Braverman, who is seen as a possible future leader of the governing Conservative Party, said the state would always support those who are genuinely homeless.
Braverman argued that unless the government acted, British cities would “go the way of places in the U.S. like San Francisco and Los Angeles, where weak policies have led to an explosion of crime, drug taking, and squalor.”
She was criticised by Angela Rayner, the opposition Labour Party’s deputy leader, who said on X: “Rough sleeping is not ‘a lifestyle choice’,” and blamed increased homelessness on 13 years of Conservative government.
“Let’s make it clear: living on the streets is not a ‘lifestyle choice’ - it is a sign of failed government policy,” it said on X.
In September, Braverman called for a global overhaul of the approach towards immigration, which is likely to be a key issue at Britain’s general election expected next year.
