Homelessness, Capitalism and the “stunt”!!!

Here is a link to a story in the Sunderland Echo and my initial response;

This "stunt", is an insult to the tens of thousands of homeless in the UK. After the "stunt", these people will go back to their comfortable lives, presumably thinking they have "done their bit". For the homeless, the daily nightmare will continue.
Rather than taking part in this "joke", the attendees, especially the representative from the Echo, would be better off asking a few more apposite questions such as, why in the 21st century, in the 5th/6th richest country in the world, in this supposedly "civilised" country, do we still have the obscenity of "homelessness"!!! Raising this however, would lead to more questions and answers, that the supporters of this system would rather not raise and definitely would rather not answer!!!
