Homeless Getting Worse

[OldChestNuts]

I feel for these people whilst we have the money to pay the fake asylum seeks comfortably living in hotel and feed 3 times a day.

Why are the homeless getting worse? What have they done?

Councils have been putting home grown British homeless people in hotels like Travelodge for years whilst they wait suitable accommodation, including families.
Some homeless people don't qualify because they can't take their dogs, or won't give up drugs or have problems with alcohol. A minority don't want to conform to the rules and prefer to live rough.
They get a room to themselves.
Here is one woman who has been living in a Travelodge for a year https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-11855337/Ive-homeless-year-live-Travelodge.html

Asylum seekers usually have to share a room, mostly with strangers. Neither groups 'get fed three a day'.

How about we treat everybody in the UK in a decent way? Cant be too difficult to provide a home for eveyone. There just needs to be the political resolve to do it

[barry1010]

fiveleaves, there has always been homeless people and there always will be.
What do you suggest should happen to those evicted from council housing for continuous anti-social behaviour, for instance?
Do you want homeless people to be imprisoned because they refuse to accept housing?

the tax payers do not need any more bums from france, because thats what they are, bloody chancers, sucking the tax payer dry with the parasitic lawyers sucking the tax payer dry, i care not a fig for any, migrant 000...fu:off

Some of the blame may lie at the feet of those entrepreneurs building a 'portfolio' for estate agents to wander around in, staring endlessly at the ceilings on those daytime TV programmes.
The combo seem hell-bent on extorting top dollar from those able to afford the price/rent and beggar the rest.

I spoke to a fella last year in the local park who works with the homeless. There is a homeless centre in centre of Belfast and he was telling me there was a guy who actually lives there for about 16 years now.

3 good meals, heat, clean bed and his own TV in his own bedroom for whatever it costs - maybe £20-£30 a week.

I'd live there myself for that.

Ah fender62, man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands weep. I'm sure the tax you pay would amount to little more than 1 pence per person (if that) and you certainly don't know their stories. I sincerely hope you are never in their position.
