(I started writing a reply to another thread on the Flint speech but then thought it might be better if this was posted as a separate entry. It details how we came to today's situation where 50%+ of people in social housing are in the NEET group)

Conservatives on Westminster City Council want to ban soup runs from giving help to homeless people - they are attempting to insert a measure in the London Local Authorities bill that will outlaw the distribution of food. If passed today the bill will be debated in the commons and then if passed the ban would come in sometime next year.
