I have just moved to Berlin a month ago. If you have no family/other commitments in UK, I feel the threshold of reasons to leave UK has been crossed already.
This reminds me of the "Da Vinci" virus form Hackers movie, which threatens to capsize an oil tanker fleet. Who would have thought that movie was so visionary!
Im not sure why George Osborne is going to talk about self-driving trucks in the Budget speech... Is he dropping phat-stacks of the budget on this programme to make the two related somehow?
I often thought this in the past, but I found that if you stop supporting your side - the vacuum is quickly filled with the opposition. Any effort on your behalf to support your views, however little, will have a big effect.
Do you have some evidence to support any of this? Sounds like a collection of easy to repeat lines...
I say this because I have actually tried to get a homeless person into a shelter once, only to be told that half them were closed down due to funding cuts, the rest needed a lengthy referral procedure or a £20 payment for the night - aka a normal hostel.
And all this was possible because I had a smartphone on me with internet to look up and call various places. A homeless person without such access has very little chance!
Several of our customers (IT projects) are organisations for homeless. So I can tell you they do exist. Two types of referral exist: from the council, or a walk in from the street. There are also numerous TV shows that document the process. Sometimes it is called "sheltered housing" other times "homeless hostel" and other times "emergency accommodation". It is effectively all the same thing.
Like I said "living rough" i.e. the stereotypical homeless person is basically not a real thing in the UK. They do it because they either choose to do so or have other mental or social problems that prevent them from seeking free help.

I don't know what fantasy world you're living in, but in London homelessness is very real and very present. Go take a walk through the city at night, it's eye-opening.
I've noticed it has become considerably worse (by number of homeless) over the past year or so.
I've edited my post to include the context-- but my point stands. I just don't believe that most homeless are incapable of finding shelter, let alone choosing to be on the streets.
This article strikes me more of an ode to Ferrari then factually correct info on why turbos are bad.
As many have mentioned technology can be used to iron out the pitfalls of the turbo boost, perhaps Ferrari engineers feel the pressure from Maclaren's new turbo fleet and need to justify their failure ;)
