From my article in The Sunday Times today:
“It will be an imperative duty of this community to make sure the poor, the homeless, the people sleeping in cars and toilet-less garages, the migrants still finding their feet are sheltered from this eminently foreseeable shockwave ahead. They are a nudge away from homelessness and malnourishment and to hunger and want.
“The electoral campaign remains remarkably focused on middle-class issues, First-World problems. We think we still have the luxury to debate tax cuts for businesses, loopholes for property transfers and free medical care for pets.”
