Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me
In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.
βIn Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.β
IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

I hope folks grasp the fascistic resentment underpinning this shit, and the fact that there is nothing these AI robber barons would like more than to automate human creativity because they resent it and wish to devalue, own, and control it and us.

The crocodile tears from the Labour candidate - a lobbyist, no less, who helps private investors get their claws into the NHS. If her greatest fear is Reform winning, she should step aside and give the Greens a clear run. Labour offer nothing.

We need a UK Digital Sovereignty Strategy!
Our over-reliance on foreign tech giants is a huge risk to our security and resilience when faced with Donald Trumpβs ever increasing belligerence.
Companies like Palantir have no place in our critical digital infrastructure.

This is the report I spoke of on #bbcaq just now - ministers tried to suppress it, were finally forced to release it after an FoI, but shamefully only published a redacted version. The first duty of Govt is to protect its citizens - that starts with being honest with us about scale of threat we face

By the time Starmer is replaced this summer, we'll have had two wasted years, in which a country crying out for transformation instead got more of the same, or even worse where environmental legislation is concerned, and a high possibility of Farage running the next government.
Thanks Keir.

I wonder if the (latest) Mandelson scandal will be the thing that finally ends Wormtongue* McSweeney's influence over the Labour party and British politics?

Ezri once told Worf, "The Klingon Empire is dying, and I think it deserves to die β¦ I know this sounds harsh, but the truth is you have been willing to accept a government that you know is corrupt. Gowron is just the latest example."
Later that day, Worf killed Gowron.
