Did anyone see this Dispatches programme on Channel 4 tonight (well, yesterday now really). About homeless women sleeping rough. It was very worrying. Apparently local councils are supposed to prioritise vulnerable women, but in fact they are routinely turning them away with no help.
By far the worst case was that of 'Sarah', a heavily pregnant woman in her thirties sleeping on the streets (in Manchester if I remember right). Jesus Christ, I knew there was a homelessness crisis , but I never thought that would be allowed to happen. You saw her clutching her scan of the baby. At the end of the programme we were told her unborn baby had died. Just shockingly awful.
