[@bazzel1059]

I actually think it might be very very difficult to end homelessness with money. Like what's the approach here, buy every homeless person a house? Building more homeless shelters doesn't *end* homelessness, it more sounds like it makes being homeless slightly less miserable. Then again, I don't know much about the topic, but I would be interested in hearing how you would approach the problem.

[@sarads7877]

@@bazzel1059 it would obviously be very difficult to end homelessness as a phenomenon… I think some things that could be done are: boost medical resources directed at the homeless, like psychological support and spots in rehab centers, since many people end up in the streets due to addiction or mental illnesses. Give them a clean, functional place to stay so they can shower etc and be presentable when they try to get jobs etc Create work opportunities specifically for the homeless, maybe through agreements with existing establishments (like, idk, mcdonalds etc)

[@michaelmcaree6296]

@@bazzel1059 Ending homelessness is about treating mental illness, in many cases. In some others, it is about creating non-market housing, something England used to be good at. Removing the political and police corruption that enables the drug trade might help too, but it's clear that the majority of people don't use the drugs. So the base effort is in treating the depression and desperation that leads to the substance addiction. Treating mental illness would necessitate employing counsellors, which would necessitate incentivizing more people to get into that trade. So now we're talking about reducing the price of education, possibly paying counsellors more. Or we could could all just shrug and say "ah it'll never happen," and give the monarchy a hundred million pounds a year to wave at ceremonies and to talk to the tv veery Christmas. Because apparently William has a campaign against homelessness, and the only way that problem will ever be addressed is if we get a public figure to make speeches. I recall when Nancy Reagan told the kids to "Just say no" and the drug problem in America just disappeared.

[@judeconnor-macintyre9874]

Yeah, if a country ended homelessness that would be one of the most respected countries in the world.

[@frickendachicken1856]

@@bazzel1059I haven't seen anyone mention it yet, but Britain already near did "defeat" homelessness during the 1915-1950s. By removing the private ability for landlords to own homes that were rented to others and instead building public housing to a very high standard to rent for low costs gave absolutely almost everyone a home they could comfortably afford. A great many other policies went into it, of course, but most certainly an abundance of housing was a huge part of it. Moreover, the reason this ended up failing was Thatcher and the morbid greed of those voted into power due to the outright cowardly tactics of the conservative party at the time and now. People forgot why they had a home in the first place, and voted against their own interests.

Piers Morgan saying if you don't like something you should ignore it is genuinely one of the funniest things I've ever heard

[@waveman0]

@jaroslav-6027 14 hours ago Do you remember piers arguing with a trans activist, where the activist ask piers ''why do't you just ignore it, why does it bother you so much?'' and of course piers said it bothers him so much because facts matter, truth matters'. And here he goes saying the exact same line like the trans activist to these two guys

[@nagranoth_]

It's also a tacit admission that he can't win the argument, so leave me alone.

[@UnfoundFilms]

Cause he’s done such a good job ignoring Meghan and Harry.

[@christinegordon2501]

Piers just a mouthpiece who won’t let his guests speak

[@cheezarose]

I'm from Belgium and like many other European countries we also have a Royal family and I have to say the amount of pomps and pageantry the British display is absolutely outrageous and the amount of reverence people like Piers Morgan have for said Royal Family is completely off putting.

[@keto0303]

Whats off putting about pomps and the monarchy? Have you lost all heart and soul and can no longer have some admiration and appreciation for something other than your own stuff? Just like you don't understand how someone can like the monarchy, I don't understand why people like you are so against it. The case for the monarchy in the 21st century is that its part of our history, its tradition, and its something we can get around and appreciate, something that glues us together. If you want to be without history, and live in shame about your history and your ancestors, go ahead. But don't force those miserable values onto others.

[@righteousshift482]

It's all bluff and bluster. I'm English and regard the royal family idea as a joke. TBH a lot of nationalist conceits are ridiculous. They give people things to hang on to. Many bad but there are some good elements too. Helps ppl forge their sense of identity. I'd much rather people in the UK thought of ppl like Newton, Darwin, Turing when they considered what it is to be British. _People who changed the world rather than ruled over it._ The royals are a vestigial tail. Time to chop it off and move on.

Well, ignoring Prince Andrew's ahem peccadillos is something Piers is very adept at doing. Don't think I can finish this debate as hearing that blowhard just shouting BUT TOURISM constantly is so unpleasant (well, until the author tried to explain how tourism may not in fact be affected by the royal family....like how Versailles is an abandoned old building that you definitely don't have to join a massive queue to enter.........)

[@apexjailor9349]

How is an anachronistic institution that does nothing to hurt anyone specifically, except in a conceptual way because it’s not democratic, anything like rape or cancer? What a weird comparison.

[@Bingbangboompowwham]

[@finestPlugins]

My spouse and me actually watched parts of the coronation here on German television. It is a big event after all. We also constantly shook our heads due to the silliness of it all.

[@bobon123]

The fact that Piers thinks that when foreigners look at the coronation they are looking at "UK at its best" is absolutely mental. Most people that cares about the royal family world wide are those reading tabloid journalism. My mum (Italian) is the only member of my family that could state more than a few royals, and what she knows is who banged whom, who cheated on whom, who was not invited to a party. When the queen died the only question I have seen debated in Italian news was if Megan would be invited. It is as "UK at its best" as "Geordie Shore".

[@BDub2024]

@@fmyopinion2501 Don't take it so seriously. They both have business models. Piers is to get someone extreme on the panel to be argumentative with. With Alex he is trying to build an audience of likeminded viewers who feel like outliers in society, but are frustrated because they have all the answers. "I'm so smart, why isn't everyone listening to me, they must be stupid or something"... Its a game with two people trying to make cash. They aren't that much different. Piers has a more common touch and learnt humility (but still got a bit to learn). Alex is probably a bit out of touch with society I feel, and probably more in love with books and his ideas. Alex performs better when he listens and is less passive aggressive.

[@BDub2024]

@@fmyopinion2501 I hope you're referring to both Alex and Piers. If Alex moved into the populist middle, he wouldn't have a business as no one would listen to him. That's reality.
