Believing that a government like this "could all turn out really good" for the average working or middle class citizen is quite frankly believing in faeries, and the sort of pure fantasy that has lead people to vote us into this mess. |

There's towns to this day still shaken and affected by Thatcher's government,and we go backwards yet again to that . I'd say a few of us are lucky if we have a roof over our heads and some kind of secure lifestyle. But many have it alot worse . Even with the recent flooding that's been happening just to name as an example, they got very little help except from members of the community. |

We should be ashamed as a country that this is happening, how many people have to freeze to death before people wake up and stop being so utterly selfish

The homeless proportion in the UK is approx 1/200, or 0.5%.
That's still too high, but pretty damn tiny. |

And also; it doesnt even work that way, there are rarely many (or any) in smaller places, they're clustered in cities which makes the scale even worse in those areas. |

I'm looking forward to a time when the hysteria subsides a little and people give this government a chance to ******* up, before they condemn them. And before I have to explain myself, again... I support both Crisis and the Salvation Army. And while I believe it should be the government's responsibility to end homelessness, until that happens I'm willing to put my hand in my pocket rather than simply complain about how terrible it all is. |

I guess the "small village" thing is used as an illustrative example to make it more shocking, because as you seem to have realised... They're mostlt in cities, not villages. |

I just can't fathom how far in denial someone has to be to try to insist that a decade of Tories hasn't made things substantially worse for the homeless, unemployed, disabled and working poor in the UK.
Blaming the "prrrevious Labour governmentttt" worked OK for the first couple of years but its surely going to be a hard sell now! "Why are things so bad in 2021 Boris?" "Cos of Labour in 2008" |

Yes that's why I said it - to point out that most people would find a village of 1000 people having 5 people on the streets a pretty shocking statistic. We're just comfortable ignoring it because it's "hidden" in urban areas, not in the doorway of a suburban co-op, so the average Tory voter can pretend the scale is smaller than it is.

There are no UK beggars at all where I live and when I go to London many of those people in tents are not British, same on the tube, the people playing instruments etc are not British. I think many were sold a dream unfortunately, I give food rather than money because I think many are exploited by gangs and sent out to beg, although I was at the junction recently and had no change so gave the guy a fiver, he nearly fell off his stick which he probably doesn't need but I am a sucker at times

Yes we’ve always had homelessness and it’s always been a stain on our country, no matter who is in charge, as long as homelessness is allowed to rise like it has done, every leader who does nothing about t should be ashamed, no matter which party they’re from
