The suggestion that some of Norwich’s homeless have made their own choice to live on the streets is often met with disbelief and derision. “Absolute rubbish” and a “bigoted horrible suggestion.” But the homeless I spoke to insisted the decision to sleep rough was largely made of their own volition.

      The governments in the UK provide ample resources for the homeless. But they want to live on the streets.

      Liberalism in its proper meaning is one of the main causes of homelessness.

      Where people don't have choices, liberty, they get pulled off the street and put in housing whether they like it or not.
