I love the “ok” at the bottom!

Rough sleeping is an increasing problem but this is gesture politics and won’t address the root causes. Giving the homeless housing is a necessary but not sufficient step to keeping them off the street. You also need to address the problems that put them there, and the problems that keep them there. A lot of homeless have substance abuse problems and/or mental health problems and/or have lived very chaotic lives so they don’t have the skills and resources to maintain a tenancy.

Far better to look at what the (Labour, but not part of the Corbyn cult) mayor of Manchester Andy Burnham is doing, which includes some fairly intensive support with the homes.

No, they’re just the opposition. The enemy are the moderates and Trotskyites.

More a comment on the NYT than Trump. He ain’t going to prison.

Not entirely.

The UK is FPP, and although they’re still a mostly two-party system, they usually maintain a real ideological distinction between the parties (except when a treacherous scumbag like Blair gets into power).

Sounds like you’ve been drinking the Corbyn koolaid. I wouldn’t believe everything that comes out of the People’s Front of Judea.

China, for its part, denies this. Wouldn’t you?

Are you arguing that there’s no significant ideological distinction between Corbyn and the Tories, or that there was one between them and Blair?
