Rough sleeping in England 19:32 - Jan 23 with 24042 viewsgtsb1966

has more than doubled in the last eight years according to the BBC just now. I found that statistic quiet shocking. What are we becoming.

Not a dig at you here Jitters, but you know when w@nkers talk about 'virtue signalling' where you trumpet your good deed stop the world? What do reckon the opposite to that is? You know, like the sort of tw@ttery that these two gimps are indulging in here?


I don't like mentioning it. True philanthropy is anonymous and all that. Annoys me when some idiot says I haven't cared before today though. Probably should have just ignored him.

I'm far from the only one on here who donated to Crisis.

Stop either trolling or being wilfully ignorant. Who amongst this admittedly small sample is homeless because of people moving into the country?

Which one of the people in the BBC article was homeless because of people coming into the country? All of them had homes at some point and - for a variety of reasons (none of which appears to have been asylum seekers, refugees or economic migrants) - lost them.

Oh dear. Didn't mention it in my last response because I didn't want to but for the last 3 years i've paid to get people off the streets over Christmas.


Tut tut, just Christmas not all year round then? I give my money to important things like animal rescue homes and I give that all year round.

No. Is that relevant?

You said there weren't enough houses to cope with immigration, there obviously is.

If you're suggesting we need to increase the social housing stock then I couldn't agree more.

There is a general shortage of housing — horribly so in some areas.

What council houses are you referring to though? Where is this stock and who do you believe the are being ‘given’ to exactly? And why do you think this?

I would argue there are too many private landlords and that much of the private stock is owned by too few, but how do you control that? The governement aren’t about to cap that in a hurry and are more than happy for anyone to take the slack other than allow responsibility to fall on the state,

Supply and demand dictates the market prices of course, but to blame immigration on its own makes no sense. ‘We’ take their money, (the majority work and pay into the system), and yet it seems our two recent consecutive governments have offered little in return, in as much as the infrastructure is creaking under the strain; hospitals, schools, etc. Try getting a sodding doctor’s appointment at many surgeries nowadays.

But that’s not because of immigrants is it? That’s them, (and us if you like), not getting value for money.

As for social housing, (pretty much being replaced with ‘Affordable Housing’, which is the same thing but more expensive), nobody can wander along and just receive a place to live. It seems it doesn’t matter how many times this is explained to you for some reason you’re not interested.

Has it ever occurred to you that not everyone gets their info from the daily rags and that some people either are involved or have been involved with this subject and may have an inkling what they’re talking about?

You could easily just look up the subject yourself. It would require a 10th of the energy you have used on here repeating the same stuff.

Look here if you like: https://england.shelter.org.uk/housing_advice/homelessness/guide/get_help_from_y

Or here: https://www.thetenantsvoice.co.uk/advice_from_us/social-housing-application-prio

Or maybe : https://www.gov.uk/council-housing

Good luck with your campaigning as I have faith in you that once you’ve read up on the subject and realise just how many innocent people are being overlooked by the authorities, you will feel strongly enough to act and petition your MP et al rather than just post ill-informed blame on here.

You could obviously handover a large part of your wages let's say 50% to help


He already pays at least 23% of his income to the state if he is PAYE which I believe he is. If he runs a car, buys booze, has a flutter, buys clothes etc etc then he contributes even more. This argument of "if you care so much pay more money" is such utterly stupid fallacious bull5hit propagated by the laziest of minds.

Sorry Benters luv but this is nonsense. Something like 80% of houses in the UK have 1 spare bedroom and 50% have two. There are over 600,000 empty homes in England. This is a difficult problem to solve as throwing people out of their homes because the children have left for instance, would not be a good idea. But the Govt should come up with some way to incetivise people to leave homes that are too big for them.
You as a famously-environmental centric person should be the last one on here to advocate for building more homes when there are already too many.

Very true. I estimate 65% of my income goes to the government in various taxation’s.

The problem is that most of that subsidises business via tax credits

There are less than 5k rough sleepers per night... that’s not many new properties is it. The billion given to the DUP would cover it
