There's way more wrong with an old bloke who hoards Barbie dolls than merely the hoarding aspect.

Hoarding in the UK has become a "mental health emergency" which requires an urgent response, a leading social enterprise has warned. Clouds End CIC has been supporting more than 300 people who hoard in Birmingham, helping them to declutter their homes and encouraging them to attend mental health support groups.
It is an intervention project funded by Birmingham City Council, working closely with social services. Estimates suggest 2-5% of the UK population may have hoarding disorder, which the World Health Organisation classified as a mental health condition in 2018. However, Heather Matuozzo, founder of Clouds End CIC, says the true number will have risen significantly since the pandemic.
"Anecdotally, and looking abroad, it's quite seriously on the increase, but we don't have the figures to prove it yet," she said. "Our referrals are certainly increasing - it's a behind-closed-doors mental health emergency. "You're meeting people who have got stuck in life, some with some really heartbreaking stories. We need to act now."
I can re-write that opening statment for transparency and accuracy.
"Fuck, Trumps cut us off and there are less and less pots of money we can grift.
