What a reasoned analysis - and challenge - Mr. Bruton offers as a former homeless person. It’s a kindly but scathing jibe at all those who think something should be done but don’t want to do it - “Not in my backyard” as Mr. Bruton quotes.
For a reasonable amont of money, couldn’t a safe area be created, offering camping, live-in parking, dome facilities - and safety? Plus the bonus of dignity.
A fine commentary - and two neat pictures, too.
