While I was away this week, I saw a news report that reported that many children in the South-West of the UK are living in temporary accommodation with their parents for one reason or another because there is not enough permanent housing for them.
This is due to many reasons, but a main one being that there is not enough council housing left to house these needy families.
Why, I wonder as the UK government has moved to the vote for a £75 billion replacement for the Trident nuclear missile system, are they not spending the money on something more valuable – human need – than on yet another missile system that serves no real immediate purpose.
