Rubbish.
*considered* does that mean temporary accommodation? [Post edited 11 Dec 7:20]

97000 children, without a home, in your capital city, and you don't care. | |

That’s just not true is it if you think there are 97000 children in London sleeping rough,then more fool you.
Anyway how’s your lovely house in Norway ? | |

Exactly. So why is he berating another posting for not caring? Words are cheap and easy to throw around. If you genuinely care you can get out there and help out at a homeless project or give to homeless charities. I doubt he's doing any of those things. | | | |

Homeless does not mean sleeping rough. You know that though, you heartless old fool. | |

I should really be doing more to house London's homeless. I mean I could at least build a few council houses. | |

No-one said 97000 children in London are sleeping rough.
What is wrong with you? You understand "being homeless" doesn't just mean sleeping rough, asking for spare change and shouting at pigeons, right? | |

Not shilling for a system based on stealing from the public purse for the benefit of corporations and share holders in a system with baked in inequalities destroying any sense of society or environmental care for starters. |  |

He was berating another poster for disputing the facts, not for not doing anything. | |

He told Benters that he "didn't care". Unless like i say, you're out there actively helping then that's a pretty hypocritical thing to say. Its easy to write on a message board how awful it is, isn't it? When it comes to opening your wallet or devoting some of your precious time then its a different story. | | | |

He said, in a later post, that Benters doesn't care... in response to Benters saying "What’s that got to do with the price of chips?", having disputed the figures, and frankly belittling them because they're not all sleeping rough. Sounds pretty uncaring to me.
Can we not be appalled by those figures and have empathy for those involved if we're not physically doing anything (and, as Noggin has stated, he lives in Norway!)?! | |

Yes its right to be appalled about it. Homelessness in Britain is at ridiculous levels considering we are the world's 6th biggest economy. Social housing stocks have been decimated and even young working people are struggling to buy homes. It makes me angry. FYI I have been homeless myself and I have also given back in terms of helping out charities like Emmaus and going out distributing sandwiches in the town centre, considering myself fortunate to have pulled myself out of that situation. What irks me is people virtue signalling about it and then having a dig at others. If you're doing FA to help then you're no more effecitvely helping than someone who doesn't care. | | | |
