    This was a satirical poster; the phrasing is deliberate and it was posted on the underground as a protest against the conservatives.

      I have no idea if that is true I hope it is. I don’t live in the UK but this isn’t exactly helping my understanding of the UK.

        The conservatives campaigned on cutting homelessness in half. When in power, they basically cut actual, useful support, in favour of measures that got the homeless out of sight, even if it made things worse (and more deadly) for them.

        The light at the end of the tunnel is that they are currently predicted to lose 44-92% ( 77% nominal) of their total seats in the next election. They also have to call it by January. There is the real possibility of them being almost completely wiped off the political stage.

          Well its never a good idea to have no diversity from a political perspective.

            We’ll still have diversity (such as it is) - we have more than two parties.

            If the local elections are anything to go by, however, the Tories have slipped into third place for the first time in history.

            (Of course, I’m not daft enough to think local elections accurately predict general elections).

            Ok… and what does that have to do with my post?
