As anyone who works with homeless (Rough sleepers) can confirm, for some it is a choice. Not all, but there are some that refuse offers of accommodation. Indeed those that work with homeless often struggle to completely eliminate rough sleeping even where there is capacity and will to find a place for everyone. Anyone politician claiming otherwise is either ignorant of the facts or lying. Neither of which are strong reasons to vote for them

Part of the problem is the bitch's rhetoric and wide-sweeping indiscriminate attacks. Lifestyle choice, immigrants invading our shores, dreaming of putting desperate people on a plane to send them back, etc.

She used the term "hate march", but when asked three times if that includes everybody on the march or if some of them are genuine and not hateful, three times she declined to answer. We can only assume she knows what she said was wrong/misleading but isn't honest enough to correct herself.

That bitch is so full of hate!

One of Sunak's five own goals has hit the back of the net. Hospital waiting lists have hit a record high.

Fair enough, that makes sense. You think being raped/sexually abused and forced onto the street is a lifestyle choice. I can see where you're coming from now, and perhaps that's what Bitch Braverman thinks as well. :roll:

The general consensus of the Tory party is, "I would use the words the bitch used but...", change subject. :)

Chris Mason (bbc political editor) was at Cambridge with Braverman and describes her as self-effacing.
That means "not claiming attention for oneself; retiring and modest."
But he also said she has clear aspirations politically (and for PM) and to do that you need to state your views clearly and strongly.

I still don't like her. If the Tories go with her she would just be the latest of a catalogue of incompetents.
I never thought I would look back at Cameron and think "actually he wasn't so bad after all".

I really can't grasp why the Tory party is ripping itself apart. The 1922 commitee seem to be sitting on their hands and letting the bunfight continue.

Far right groups expected turn up to the Cenotaph to protect it, from pro-Palestine marchers who won't even be there, giving the police an additional headache and needing to commit extra resources ... all thanks to Bitch Braverman stirring the pot.

London looks like a powder keg at the weekend and it won't take a lot for it to go off. The sad thing is veterans and their families paying respects to friends and family they have lost in conflict will no doubt be caught up in it. Imagine grieving and remembering a loved one then on your way home a load of idiots are going at it or being abused or attacked for a wearing military uniform. I seen the incident in Glasgow where a 70 odd year old veteran poppy seller was attacked and abused by pro Palestine marchers who over took the train station. Like wise all the football hooligans/far right groups going down in an opposite scenario.

I fully understand the right to protest but any other day other than Armistice Day. Should be a blanket ban on any protests/marches when the day Armistice Day falls on along with Remembrance Sunday. There's 363 other days to protest.

Thats quite a baffling analysis isn't it? The far right (who hate jews) protesting that pro-palestinians are protesting.I think the far right just hate everybody (it suits their simpleton brains).
But I'm 100% with your critiicism that disrupting Armistice Day is truly ironic. This day honours those that fought dictactorships to maintain our freedom.
I'm not sure co-opting this day for a particular agenda really respects what those people gave us.

A portrait of the King is gonna be on the front cover of the next Big Issue. Wouldn't it be ironic if the Tent Snatching Bill was in the King's speech. :lol:
