So in just 4 years, really a very short time in the grand scheme of things, the Coalition government has turned all newspapers, all media outlets, all the country against homeless people? They've engineered a campaign which has altered the mindset of the whole country, turned friendly and caring people into vicious and violent thugs? Transformed a nation of charity givers into cruel individualists who hate the poor and only look out for themselves? Come off it.

If you blame laissez faire capitalism then you blame Labour as well as the Conservatives. Whether you like to admit it or not the parties are not that far apart ideologically. Since Blair the Labour party have supported capitalism and the free market just as the Conservatives always do. It's nonsense to make 2010 a watershed in the way that the homeless were treated, I don't exactly remember a lot of flattering headlines or positive schemes to help the homeless before then. I don't remember waves of compassion emanating from media outlets under New Labour. To say that there was is just rose tinted glasses imo.
