He left the Army 14 years ago and has been working as a Kitchen-fitter since that time...
Although, I agree, that it would have been difficult for the Daily Mail to generate such outrage with the headline "Kitchen-fitter left homeless after council officials did not make him a housing list priority".

Like so many urban areas, we have our fair share of homeless people and so many of them are ex army. It is shameful the way we treat our ex forces. Shame on the government, shame on society. I never give money to any homeless person but I will always take them in to a local cafe and make sure they get a big hot meal and lots of tea/coffee etc. I know it's not much. I wish I could give them all homes. The local councils would rather look after druggie scum than our own brave lads.
One can "do the right thing" all ther life and still fall on hard times. Life's like that.
I suspect the drunk drug addicts are seen as a problem which the council has to solve. Whereas homeless non-problematic individuals are not uncommon, an issue that may never be fully solved (especially if governments make no attempt to reduce rather than increase the population) and so those in that group can join the queue.
Councils do make priorities and sometimes this seems reasonable, for some folk are more vulnerable than others, but their present system does seem to fail those who don't fit into a special priority group. I don't have personal experience to speak with authority but as a citizen it does seem we get neglected cases arise.
I think the issue where anyone who has done the right thing gets nothing is extending the subject area though. For sure there is little enough being offered for those who pay in to the public kitties all their life, but I think that a different thread.
