by not being able to keep warm in the cold

That's one every seven minutes
This is a tragedy, a silent tragedy that not many people know about, hence this thread.
Remember this the next time the news is telling us we need to spend billions on military equipment and wars to 'save lives'
And when they cut tax credits for workers etc
Btw, before you go calling me a leftie, I'm all for the action in Syria, we could quite easily solve this problem, the death toll was half this amount 3 years ago.
For comparison, cold weather in Britain will kill a similar amount of people that the Nagasaki atomic bomb killed.
