Default Tragedy in the US

Is that what I think it is in the foreground?

Certainly looks like a new XC90.

Sad news for the unfortunate and their families though.

Now homelessness in the uk is undoubtedly also a tragedy for those caught up without a place to sleep but that does not make the event in the us less of a tragedy.

You obviously also correlate uk homelessness with net migration which is not a point of view i share but obviously everyone is entitled to their opinion.

This forum will not be used as a platform for xenophobic views, especially not when they have no relevance to the topic at hand.

cheers

James

Thanks Foggy.
You put the point very well.
On a positive note, interesting to note the passenger cabin on the XC looks as if it did exactly what it said in the tin, unlike the pick-up further down the newsreel pics.
