THE LATEST FROM LONDON

[@annalizevermaak1594]

Homelessness is not a political problem it's a human problem and Prince William is a very human and compassionate man.

Prince William is not being political. He's helping where the government should have but didn't.

[@JudithDev8]

😊@ceba-pw8nk Agreed!

[@musicandbooklover-p2o]

Then he needs to work the same way his FATHER worked when he started helping people. Maybe talking to his father's advisors would be a good start rather than blindly ploughing forward and offending everyone.

[@wildideas7368]

Politics means simply solving common problems. In that framework it is political same way as giving food or money to food banks. Here is in offer places to live instead of bread, so everybody can calm down. The politicians are Wellcome to solve the homelessness as they have been thousands of years. There is enough work for politicians on the state and communal levels that they don't need to be worried at all if some charities work on same sector. I read already this morning about the TVdocument in a German media outlet. Very positive article. Just wonderful if this initiative can inspire more people to tackle this problem.
