Homelessness and how some students are reacting to it.
Part two education.
Problem for the tories is the young are more Compassionate and donāt like what they see on the streets every day. When you add in thinks like education it really hits home with them.
Own up. Which of the site Tories fell for this in the 1980s?

I canāt believe that cunt survived. How has he managed to last another 30 years without one of the āguysā beating him to death?
The originating account is an RT account from one of their shows, Sam Delaneyās News Thing. That is a comedy show of sorts based on current events.
It could be a sketch, but would something that is ultimately a news channel, present it as a fact?
One of my fave comments on the YouTube vid was:-
Like the best satire I canāt tell if this is satire or not.

So the snap general election cost taxpayers Ā£140m.
Other than seeing May get a strong and stable kicking before she leapt into bed with a bunch of religious extremists who have already abandoned her, I donāt think Iāve really had value for money.

Just call me political prognosticator prime.
Or donāt, actually, because this little prediction was obvious to anyone that knows what life on benefits is like. As part of the Universal Credit reforms, the way Housing Benefit is being paid has changed. The funds used to go directly to the landlord concerned, a safe arrangement for both parties.
Under Universal Credit, that money is now going straight into the bank account of the tenant.
I predicted this would happen about a year ago. One of those occasions where Iām not happy to be right.
Ministers are coming under intense pressure to put the brakes on the governmentās flagship welfare reform programme, following damning new evidence that it is leaving thousands of low-paid workers unable to pay their rent and at risk of homelessness.
The Observer can reveal a catalogue of concerns from landlords, councils and charities about universal credit, which have been handed to a parliamentary inquiry investigating the programme.
With the accelerated roll-out of the new system just weeks away, some warn that rent arrears among tenants receiving universal credit are running at three, four or even five times the level of those on the old system. Three councils whose tenants have already been moved on to universal credit said they had built up about Ā£8m in rent arrears. Croydon, Hounslow and Southwark said that more than 2,500 tenants claiming it were now at risk of eviction.

Sadly, it is unsurprising Pap.
A complete scandal that seems bound to be brushed under the carpet
Of equal concern is the way disability benefits are managed.
People unsuited and unqualified to assess people are making lifestyles changing decisions on whether people get the support they need.
Through my company Iāve given feedback on the green paper disability matters in the workplace, but I donāt see it having any impact either going forward tbf.

Not so hidden. I deal with homeless people weekly. More now then ever before. I would never say to a family Iād put their child in care and we place families together.

One of the biggest criticisms of Andrew Marr is that heās too friendly to the establishment, and goes too easy in his analysis and interviewing. Compared to some of the more noted hectorers, heās a pussy cat.
Nevertheless, this is car crash stuff from Theresa May.
I think she could go this week.
A party that cares about everyone.
What a sick joke of a lie.

Bear Grylls at the conference??
Even if you are trying to grab the scout vote to pump new life into an ageing support group, for godās sake, when you are struggling in all areas do not invite along a bloke whose only talent is āsurvivalā - it sends out a a desperate PR message.
Tory PR fuck=up no.327 of 2017.
They could use tips on surviving in the (political) wilderness.
