Wth? Then they'd need twice as much housing. And aid! These council members are idiots!

Not to mention the increase in medical costs. Cutting people in half is probably pretty difficult and costly procedure, and the halves would probably need pretty intense care to keep them alive.

Who said anything about keeping them alive?

Homeless people are not worms. They don't grow back from both ends when you cut them in half.

Not with that attitude.

Do they have enough magicians to pull this off?

Vertical from the side, front and back halves.

So, double the amount of homeless?

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Well, I'd think there would be zero homeless, unless they count starfishes as homeless.

Yet another manifesto pledge they failed to deliver

[โ€“] finitebanjo 2 points 1 week ago

I was curious and it looks like homelessness has been more or less increasing annually every year with quarterly fluctuations: LINK TO GOV_UK infographic

And Conservatives won every general election from 2010 until 2024 (they recently lost to Labour in 2024) so they absolutely couldn't hack it. To be clear, the sign IS FAKE but they DID ACTUALLY promise to end "rough sleeping" homelessness.

That sounds like tories.

What a modest proposal...

Good thing Labours in power now

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

They will compromise and only cut half of homeless people in half.

[โ€“] victorz 5 points 1 week ago

Phrasing!

Maybe increase the budget for education and writing by some amount as well while they're making "cuts" in other areas. Hey-o.

Rise of the magicians? Or someone didn't read the instructions for a guillotine?
