Why we’re all hooked on tinned fish
Sardines, mackerel, herring, pilchards, sprats and anchovies ... canning only makes the umami flavour better. They’re my top choice for pastaSign up here for our weekly food newsletter, FeastI can’t find it, despite having spent the past 35 minutes looking, but somewhere in the house is The Crisis Cook Book. It’s a standard paperback, postbox-red with white writing on the cover, and full of recipes from chefs including Rowley Leigh, Heston Blumenthal and Jeremy Lee. Not having found it, I needed Amazon to tell me it was published in 2007 and compiled by Nick Lander, at the time the Financial Times’ restaurant correspondent. He asked 28 chefs to donate three recipes – their favourite starter, main course and dessert – and proceeds from the book went to the national #homelessness charity Crisis.The reason I needed (and still need – it is now a mission) to find the book is because inside it is Rowley’s recipe for pasta with tinned sardines, fennel, chilli and lemon zest.

@rms If the area around it was safe, they would want to shut it down because 'it lowers the tone of the neighbourhood.'
It's the way marginalised people are always treated -- drive them out of the safe and pleasant places, and then punish them for where they are forced to live.

@redsad Housing homeless people is the first step on the way to let them gain back the control of their lives. Being homeless is incredible consuming, which is easy to overlook if you’ve never experienced it your self.
Finland is a great example how homelessness can be reduced heavily with a simple rule of thumb: Housing first.
Once that’s done people tend to have the energy to start fixing other areas of their lives. Out on the street they lack the energy, as they are occupied with things like “where is my next meal” and “how do I not freeze to death tonight”.
Yes there will be failures, too, many of them. Yet the stats show undeniable the power of Housing first.

As Imran Hussain (Refugee Council) points out, if Andy Burnham wants to reduce (end) homelessness, when it comes to this who are refugees he needs to look at the actions of the Home Office, as a key case of homelessness among refugees.
As so often, the Home Office is acting an inhumane & callous manner (competing with the DWP for the honour of being the dept. most lacking in compassion for the weak & powerless).
The Govt. needs to stop being part of the problem!

WTF?
"Portland area leaders are dismantling a third of the homeless shelter system they just built"

"The city and Multnomah County will decommission more than 1,000 adult shelter beds between them by the end of the year…
How the Portland area got to this point just six years after voters approved a tax that has generated $1.6 billion for homeless services across the metro region is a convoluted story…"
