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.

Hmmm, interesting video. I would definitely fit the conservative mold, and certainly struggle against liberal attitudes, but I wonder what the purpose of the talk was, considering he's a liberal and that it was aimed at liberals? Is he truly independent in his science? As most scientists claim to be but aren't, because they are human. Was he was actually just explaining the facts and nothing more? The facts are true I would surmise and a good takeaway, but I wonder, considering his closing comments, if he wasn't trying to arm liberals so they could avoid getting caught in contentious arguments with the conservatives and instead focus solely on their objective, that of creating disunity, disorder and destroying social stability in their headlong rush to secure gay rights for sperm whales.

Another member of the Reddit Hate Brigade falsely pretending to be a conservative.

Ahhh, a true liberal, thanks for the heads up.
