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

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

Not with that attitude.

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?

[โ€“] Entropywins@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Do they have enough magicians to pull this off?

Hey, the Tory party has plenty of tricksters!

Yet another manifesto pledge they failed to deliver

[โ€“] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks 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.

So, double the amount of homeless?

[โ€“] CreatingMachines@fedia.io 7 points 2 weeks ago

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

Vertical from the side, front and back halves.

Good thing Labours in power now

[โ€“] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 11 points 2 weeks ago

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

[โ€“] FelixCress@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

That sounds like tories.

What a modest proposal...

[โ€“] victorz@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks 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?
