    This was a satirical poster; the phrasing is deliberate and it was posted on the underground as a protest against the conservatives.

        The conservatives campaigned on cutting homelessness in half. When in power, they basically cut actual, useful support, in favour of measures that got the homeless out of sight, even if it made things worse (and more deadly) for them.

        The light at the end of the tunnel is that they are currently predicted to lose 44-92% ( 77% nominal) of their total seats in the next election. They also have to call it by January. There is the real possibility of them being almost completely wiped off the political stage.

            We’ll still have diversity (such as it is) - we have more than two parties.

            If the local elections are anything to go by, however, the Tories have slipped into third place for the first time in history.

            (Of course, I’m not daft enough to think local elections accurately predict general elections).

      It would double the number of homeless Labour voters so I doubt they would go through with it.

    Whenever I see this picture I think of these lyrics:

    This is an announcement from Genetic Control

    It is my sad duty to inform you

    Of a four-foot restriction, on humanoid height

    -

    I hear the directors of Genetic Control

    Have been buying all the properties

    That have recently been sold, taking risks oh so bold

    It’s said now that people will be shorter in height

    They can fit twice as many in the same building site

    They say it’s alright

    Beginning with the tenants of the town of Harlow

    In the interest of humanity, they’ve been told they must go

    Told they must go, go, go, go

    Perhaps off topic, and the poster may be satirical, but how is that turning out?

    Have they reduced homelessness? Have they cut any homeless in half?

    Just tired of empty promises.

      Haha, good one! Homelessness has more than doubled since the conservative party took power in 2010. This particular poster (albeit satirical) was from 2021, since then homelessness has increased massively in the UK England.

        Thank you! Great info.

        The data excluded those in shelters, and is England (not the UK). 4K is in the very solvable range. Pathetic that things are getting worse.
