Homelessness is an indictment against any civilised society, in a very rich country, where most people struggle to maintain a half decent standard of living and a small army live in extreme opulence, it is a savage brutal crime, an unacceptable injustice. Sadly it is part and parcel of the capitalist system, and over recent years we have seen the numbers of homeless grow. To sort homelessness, we need to be rid of this inhumane system of capitalist exploitation of the many by the few. Society has to get rid of this greed driven profit based system, and replace it with a society that sees to the needs of all our people, based on mutual aid, co-operation and sustainability.
In this episode of Circled A Radio, founder of Streets Kitchen Jon Glackin talks about the hardship of the homeless and
the impact Government austerity is having on poor people. Streets Kitchen is an
independent organisation which gives food, sleeping bags and other essential
items to the homeless.
