As a young woman I had unemployment of health, homelessness and bad. Life is no fun without a place to live when you can not get medical care and no money. Even 20 years ago, this safety net was full of holes. Now, what worries me most is to live in a society increasingly divided.

Unfortunately for David Cameron, I am happy.
