Our government over here has brought in a load of changes to the benefits system, particularly affecting those with long term illness and disability and also particularly affecting housing benefit.

They've done this in the name of cutting costs. But a couple of weeks ago a leaked letter from one of their own advisors suggested that the cost involved in an upswing in homlessness and deep deprivation would make this 'saving' into a net loss.
