This is a hard read - "The Uber driver evicted from home and left to die of coronovirus".

I don't really have a specific point, apart from this is horrible.

That landlord should be named and shamed. Disgusting individual. And the new landlord asking for that amount of money is just as awful. I'm guessing he was technically a lodger so limited with rights, but whatever happened to people having a bit of basic humanity and empathy for other people? No wonder people despite landlords (and I say that as one myself, but I actually give a shit about the wellbeing of my tenants)

What a desperately sad story. Poor guy.

In positive news, though, the GoFundMe for his family has blitzed past the target and is now at £84,000.

That poor, poor man Sad That landlord has a lot to answer for.

And his wife and kids. Would be nice if landlords could be named and shamed. It also I guess shows up the PPE problem, and how for London particularly, the government did not move fast enough in the early stages.
