Homeless

He read out John Harris’ article on Liverpool’s homeless to me as I made supper. It stood me still. Each month so many people, even those in work are just ten pounds or so away from losing the roof over their heads. It’s heartbreaking. I know that fear. It stays with you. Always. There must be more that can be done. We are a wealthy nation, why must so many of its citizens go without shelter, safety and food? Why?
