UK district and borough councils have a homelessness prevention duty which also applies to refugees. Unfortunately said councils are also largely falling to pieces and social housing stock hasn't met demand since Thatcher eviscerated it in the 80s.
This basically means that a bunch of them are going to end up living long-term in 'emergency' B&B placements due to a lack of available social housing, unless they can find private arrangements themselves.
Imagine having fucked up a country so much that it can still be felt some 40 years later.
Then again, I imagine her grave has a distinct scent of ammonia even 10 years after her death.
Same with Reagan in the US as well. The effects of his policies and actions can still be felt everywhere. Truly altered the course of history very much for the worse.
