Thanks it’s important that kind souls like you give voices to these poor souls … I count my blessings each and every day. We are all a few steps away from this lifestyle… I hold my head in despair at those that mock the homeless… it breaks my soul
Yes i am ok at the moment moneywise BUT as said could be one pay-cheque away from evection on the streets with NO chance of getting a job (with no permenant address etc) they are not the scum of th earth but real people with feeligs and need a break
I can't begin to imagine how these poor people survive, especially in the winter. When I'm in bed on a terrible night, i always think of them, and the poor animals too. I wish i could help them all. Bless them xx
I grew up living on the streets in America and didn't have to be in an abusive home. It's not a glamorous lifestyle. But I learned about how little you need to survive. I hope that these people can find a way to be in a home. I never considered my self homeless I in fact was home way more than normal people. I liked living like a animal. No past no present just living for today.
I've lived on the streets in my home town [YORK] for a couple of months in winter and over the Christmas period, I can honestly say I've got a massive family in my town, I never knew who my dad was, I knew his name but didn't know him or were he was in my home town, I knew he was a drinker and he probably drank with the drinkers in the city centre somewhere, anyway i went to the city centre and asked if any of them knew my old man and just about all of them knew him and they all had nothing but love,respect,loyalty, and story's of my old man, so I won't bore you anymore but i met up with the one person i thought I'd never ever seen or meet,and you know what? I'm exactly the same as him in every way and he took me straight into his flat,he got me sorted and helped me get on benefits and I'm now in my own place and most of all, I've got a dad witch I love and spend a hell of a lot of time with. Dad it took me a lifetime to find you and I love you loads pal and thank you for being you. All because i was homeless!! All you guys out there that are homeless please keep fighting and trying to find help because it's out there i promise you guys, big respect and love from someone who knows how it feels 🇬🇧 ✊🏼
I was homeless on and off for over 20 years. And usually slept in a tent hidden in dense woodland to stay safe. As sleeping on the streets is dangerous. Like the guy in this video I also used to use a bike to travel to a safer sleeping spot in woodland.
I was homeless from 15 to 17, back in the 90's. I slept outside train stations, hidden in bushes, disabled public toilet floors, I slept in abandoned and run down office buildings, houses and the most disgusting run down static caravan riddled with holes, spiders and mice. I slept in cars, homeless shelters on the odd night, once I turned 16, in the 16-25 year old hostel. I relied heavily on begging for food, my friends stole me clothes, it was a horrible time in my life, as I was pregnant and my stepmother told me I couldn't go home unless I had a termination. I had my termination and 3 days later, whilst dad was at work, my stepmother still kicked me out. I had very close friends who were my age and younger, who were groomed by a peadophile ring, who got the majority of them pregnant, hooked on heroin and became drug smugglers. I kid you not. I knew I had to leave the town. Until my dad died, last year, my mum had no idea I had ever lived on the streets, for 3 years. Just after I turned 17 I couldn't cope with my life where I was, and decided to take myself 250 miles away, to the north west, to try and start a new life. And what a life I made. I'm now 40 and the past 23 years, have been the most settled I have ever been. I am a Bouncer in my hometown, and I see the homeless struggle against the drunks I deal with on a Friday and Saturday night. Luckily we have an amazing organisation of volunteers who go out on those nights, taking care of and protecting homeless and vulnerable individuals (including heavily intoxicated individuals). They also have vans set up to feed the homeless and items such as bottles of water, silver blankets ect for the intoxicated individuals. They go above and beyond, because they will sit next to a lone individual, who is vomiting and won't leave there side. In my line of work, Vomiting individuals is a very common occurrence. Yes I stay with people but that is as far as it goes. These people are Angels and I think every major Town/City needs organisations like this

@Sharks i have wondered this myself. use it as storage for all the space that does not need to be used. based on the homeless in your town you may only need like 10 beds at best. run the cost off the fact you are using the building as storage so it pays for itself. or the area dedicated to those sheds they can live in with solar panels and it counts as an address for post and stuff.
@@joshuamason8992 Unfortunately Council or Govts own Health & Safety and whatever other red tape rules and regulations would prevent that from ever happening, they would never get insurance. I remember watching another documentary where a homeless shelter had to lock one person out, they couldn't even allow him to sleep on the floor as they were only allowed x number of beds and residents. If they went over they risked closure. Why would they want to solve the homeless problem anyway?, the fear of homelessness keeps most of us in line.
That charity seemed like it probably caused more trouble than it solved, having 2 people waiting in the same room and offering the 1 bed out to someone while the other person is stood next to them being told they can’t stay because the bed is full.

What is always ignored is that although not all, most homeless people have an exclusive relationship with drugs and/or alcohol, which leads to aggressive begging and members of the public having enough and attacking homeless folks.
if I could I would take in some of these people they may have addictions and alot of problems legal social etc but at the end of the day they as all people are struggling as long as a person is no harm to others or bad intent then I think to be honest they should make some sort of derelict or empty building simply so people can at least be safer and warmer at night or even like a tent city as people are pretty much happy to have just enough to survive. I hope these people find themselves happiness wherever they want or need it and wish them luck and hope they stay safe and find somewhere where they can be themselves .
How do these people who killed a homeless person or pissed on them think that could never happen to them ? Karma ! May take time ! But I know people now who lived well very well and have lost everything ! It can happen ! What you put in will come back x
It's a mutual dependency, homelessness and most rely on drugs. Whether they started AFTER or BEFORE homelessness, they get help but rarely break the habit. One guy I knew had 3 chances to get off drugs and get a job so off the streets, blew it. My brother keeps relapsing to the point me and my family just can't do anything else as we've exhausted it. Modern living but they need tough love, but we can't do that.
I worked in South Wales for 2 years. First digs was on a caravan park Treco Bay, Porthcawl then 3 of us rented a house in Swansea the landlord had a hand painted car which ran on chip fat !! The Half Moon pub down the road sold cans instead of pints🤣🤣 I ended up with this girl, I took her out round the city and every lonsdale wearing scrote was saying hello to her !!! I thought who am I with?? Turned out she worked at the jobcentre dealing with the homeless. I got spat on for being English🤣🤣 And they hate losing at rugby. It is run down with very little employment since the steel works at Port Talbot finished.
I just said that above before reading your comment .I knew from his accent strait away .He seems like a nice man destroyed by his addiction to the drink .
i guess the moral is to try your best to take care of yourself, but to also extend a hand in situations where you can and should. maybe we’re all on our own on life, but that’s never going to stop me from attempting to raise up another soul that is never lesser than myself at a time when they are vulnerable and i am able to help them. i think the suffering of the one is the suffering of all. the reason we all live collectively is because we learned long ago that it is nearly impossible to survive for long on this planet as a human, alone. and so we came together eventually leading to this flawed and corrupt governing system. where a small percentage thrives and the majority loses. whether you hold a job or not. as a nation it should provide stability and opportunity for all which directly benefits the state. when all are able to contribute the state and the citizens benefit. when we/the state allow/tolerate our brothers and sisters to suffer, it is all who suffer. which is why i say again, the suffering of the one is the suffering of the all. who we are as a nation is shown through our HDI but also in the ability to provide for those citizens. in return reaping the benefit of the contributions of healthy, happier, trained individuals, who actually want to work because their basic needs have been met, the have the faith of their brethren and establishment to be able to excel and advance said nation to further progress. that is the difference between a conscious advancing modern society and an ignorant survivalist dystopia

The homeless man aged about 26 who was murdered, was killed by two other homeless men, as it happens. Things are often not as simple as they seem. That said, this is not surprising as hate crimes are rare and violence against certain groups is often by people within the same group.
They're always fighting/causing trouble & don't trust many of these. They prey on Self-Pity & know every trick in the book. From personal experience being genuinely 'homeless' was resolved by a Hostel, Rehab, Dry-House then Bedsit etc as there's PLENTY of support, but most of the ones I knew/know would prefer to 'play the system'/Homeless card!
i was homeless at 19/20 until 36 when i went into a rehab for 9 and a half months im now on methadone daily and have completely stopped drinking since 2014 i now care for my mother who is 70 but when i was homeless she was in mongolia teaching english as a foreign language before that she was in halls of residence in York University i was badly (on crack and smack) me and my sister (lisa RIP she died in 2020 of heart valve problems caused by inecting in past she caught left sided endocarditus in york and was told she would have to have a heart valve replacement but she got off drugs and started drinking and never attended her hospital appointments then the lock down must have finished her off) im lucky in a way i have caught hep c more than once and my body managed to clear it out my system so now i have the anitbodies but no infection i also have had blood clots in either lung over 7 years ago and one long clot in my femoral vein which i was on apaxiban for no more problems as of yet but i have become a hermit sitting in my room all day and night accept for going to chemist daily i live off sickness benefit and carers allowance and my mom gets PIP and pension i just get my money paid into her bank as my bank wants over 9k off me as in 2013 they lent me 5k to go to indonesia to get engaged to my ex gf i took my mother with me she stayed for 2 weeks then went back to uk and i stayed for 3 months ... i worry that when i loose my mother i will not be able to stay in this 2 bedroom council house or that i will end up back on the streets again and this causes anxiety which the docs will not help me with because im on methadone so i have to just sit and worry about what might be .. oh well you still have to count your blessings and thank God that your not in a worse predicament ... i always think !"It could be worse but that keeps you stagnent and allows you to sit in what you think is a comfort zone ... i used to think this way even when i was rough sleeping .. ive been homeless in York and Derby and in Nottingham where i now live with my mother
Mental health issues is a real issue..i suffer with it and if it wasnt for my family helping at the times i zone out due to my brain not functioning the way it should ..i would have been on the streets..im forever grateful to my family and to all that have helped..never judge please..its very hard for some people to survive by themselves..unless of course those in the situation due to addiction and making their next fix a priority over paying bills ..unfortunately
Oh sweetheart, it certainly isn't a choice. Many people have dealt with horrendous mental health issues and had their family do nothing but abuse them for years and years, some of them their entire life, so they turn to drugs because they thought they would be able to function because it temporarily cleared up their mental health issues, and then one day it just stops working and all hell breaks loose. Consider yourself incredibly blessed that you don't have an abusive family, mental health issues, and a substance issue. That crap would break anybody down all together. You sound extremely ignorant
@@Mischa21xo there are always many situations that can occur in life including what you have said. Its not that im ignorant its just iv not wrote about the many instances in life that people can suffer..yes people can turn to drugs to help with many situations that one suffers through be it either by being abused by family or strangers..but then one can also do drugs by choice and fall in a trap of addiction and lose everything..just because one does not write in the comments section the many spectrums or possibilties of ones suffering does not mean ignorance..judging someone is also a form of ignorance but..well said and i agree with you the many a time its not a choice but a way to forget a way to ease what ever situation one is suffering 🙂
In some ways I agree and others I don't. The taxpayer can't look after everyone and certainly not in current economic climate. But what are everyday people doing to help their fellow man. There are certain homeless people I will give what I can to to help at least get a bed for night especially in winter
My son and his wife and dog are homeless😔 his father could help him but he doesn't, I'm stuck in bed with depression.😢 they came back to SW from London as they had to get out if a shed they were living in.
Depression is really bad, I know this, but as a Father/Son/Husband you have a duty my friend. I'm not the best at it aswell, far from it, but we have to try and try and try and try each and everyday we wake up so our wife's/children don't have to struggle. May god give you strength brother

No wonder there is no room in the hostels and homeless centre’s because the place is over run with Romanians and in 2023 it’s a million times worse . The locals are in the minority in Northern Ireland

There’s only one thing worse than living in Abertawe…living on the streets of Abertawe. Bloody hell.
I slept rough on of 20 yrs I can not believe there's only one bed as women she should get it vulnerable I know men can be vulnerable to but the churches need open more beds through council churches etc the churches never confess but they get paid for night shelter I'm now settled in studio flat 7 yrs clean 10 dry 20 got my family 3 beautiful cats it would petrify me if lost my home probably commit suicide all though I'm bipolar split personality attachment disorder ptsd and adha I'm on medication I suffer Terrible depression and episode but I'm so thankful to all kindness I've been showed
Hi hun hope you don't mind me saying but I'm so happy for you for getting your ducks lined up in a row and for keeping them in line like xx
I'm trying to get full diagnosis for most of your mental health issues and I don't seem to be getting anywhere with the doctors/psychiatrists and support networks in and around Swansea I have had ADHD since I was born I think but was nearly sectioned in a kids mental institution or similar but cause I refused to take ritalin I basically got kicked off the medical records long story short
I'm now in my mid thirties and I'm 100% sure I have adult ADHD Boarder Line split personality disorder anxiety depression PTSD (from reasons I'd rather not discuss on here)
COPD Post natal depression X3 from 3 of my 5 children and I had 6 known miscarriages and I basically believe I had a massive bipolar meltdown over the COVID lockdown period and I walked out of my 5 beautiful children and their awesome father after being a couple for over 17 years I wake every day discussed with myself and wish someone might have seen it coming sooner so I could have had the medical support I desperately needed I'm still not diagnosed with any of the disorders stated and in turn I'm not medicated at all and truthfully all I really want is to get the diagnosis and the full medication needed to help me be more me again and then hopefully I can get back to being a good mother again
Ps the reason I left the children with their father was I didn't want to neglect them the way I was starting to neglect myself and I guess at the moment it's not too bad as my babies get to see me at my happiest so to them I'm always over the moon when I'm with them and seeing/cwtching them so no moody Margaret mummy xx
I still can’t comprehend how our government can give illegal migrants a 4/5 star hotels and leave their own on the streets. They even make them priority over our British for Counsel housing.This Country need to take a step back and have a good look. I’m appalled by this.🎯🥵👊🇬🇧🇬🇧
been there, its rough.stay strong.
12:20 they can literally sleep on the floor, at least its inside, why do they need a bed to be there?
The way out of homelessness is employment. Never heard it mentioned.
You can't get a job if you have no address!!!!!!
@@berenicehickey1503 Quite right but my point is this was not covered in the report. All sorry sob stuff, no solutions to the problem, this would be a better way to help them.
@@ronnieg6358 no address, no identification, no clean clothes or proper hygiene, no sleep pattern or sometimes no sleep at all, look at the bigger picture, a lot of homeless folk get TRAPPED some with NO way out.
THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU OR ANYONE YOU KNOW.
Please help when you can, they are people, humans.
Every day is poppy day
That's y I'm glad I have a permanent council flat buying it next year
0:35 talking about ending up in a box.... Says the guy who sleeps in a box
Criminals get better treatment than the homeless.Heat, food and a roof over their head, bloody sad
That's y I went to jail rather than being homeless
Who ever doing the homeless in Swansea plz can you do another one it's been to years since you last done one so plz can you do another one soon as you can thank you 🙏
Why are they on the streets when all immigrants are in hotels ?
Tell Tracy, I have room in my flat if she needs somewhere to live here in Liverpool
isnt it funny all the towns put flowers down once a fellow human dies but fck helping the kids when they are alive
It always upsets me when i see homeless people.
What is always ignored is that although not all, most homeless people have an exclusive relationship with drugs and/or alcohol, which leads to aggressive begging and members of the public having enough and attacking homeless folks.
And yet attacks by the non-homeless public on homeless people are rare. Most violence against homeless people is perpetrated by other homeless people.
if I could I would take in some of these people they may have addictions and alot of problems legal social etc but at the end of the day they as all people are struggling as long as a person is no harm to others or bad intent then I think to be honest they should make some sort of derelict or empty building simply so people can at least be safer and warmer at night or even like a tent city as people are pretty much happy to have just enough to survive. I hope these people find themselves happiness wherever they want or need it and wish them luck and hope they stay safe and find somewhere where they can be themselves .
Its so awful there shouldn be homelessness in this day&age
Why do they look homeless
Iam.homeless I don't carry around card board ,duvets , sleeping bags
Swansea University paints a completely different picture.
Every town in the UK has a dark side .

Ugly truth
I don't wish this on anyone life is so cruel
What about pedophiles???
@@stevencampbell3921 they deserve worse
@@harpalchauhan428 amen
How do these people who killed a homeless person or pissed on them think that could never happen to them ? Karma ! May take time ! But I know people now who lived well very well and have lost everything ! It can happen ! What you put in will come back x
It was two other homeless brothers who killed the young man. The victim was only 4ft 11 “ tall. RIP
Been there done that 20 yrs on of now got own little studio flat 10 yrs clean u can do it I have with no support
It's a mutual dependency, homelessness and most rely on drugs. Whether they started AFTER or BEFORE homelessness, they get help but rarely break the habit. One guy I knew had 3 chances to get off drugs and get a job so off the streets, blew it. My brother keeps relapsing to the point me and my family just can't do anything else as we've exhausted it. Modern living but they need tough love, but we can't do that.
Don’t get why they don’t open up churches for the homeless at night. Don’t really understand why the government can’t help more!
About 33 billion acres of land across the earth l, why is there still people having to live like this.
Don’t worry as long as the dinghy people are warm and fed that’s all that matters 😊
I worked in South Wales for 2 years. First digs was on a caravan park Treco Bay, Porthcawl then 3 of us rented a house in Swansea the landlord had a hand painted car which ran on chip fat !! The Half Moon pub down the road sold cans instead of pints🤣🤣 I ended up with this girl, I took her out round the city and every lonsdale wearing scrote was saying hello to her !!! I thought who am I with?? Turned out she worked at the jobcentre dealing with the homeless. I got spat on for being English🤣🤣 And they hate losing at rugby. It is run down with very little employment since the steel works at Port Talbot finished.
Why would anyone feel the need to beat up someone homeless
Shocking behavior that should have severe punishment.
Apparently it was other homeless people.
There but for the grace of God go I.
Soo sad poor souls don’t know how they cope
The romanian guy selling the big issue he is sound...happy happy fella
Timothy is not from Belfast he's from cork I know his family.
Sad
I just said that above before reading your comment .I knew from his accent strait away .He seems like a nice man destroyed by his addiction to the drink .
How can a city that many homeless have on bed for homeless it’s mind blowing
i guess the moral is to try your best to take care of yourself, but to also extend a hand in situations where you can and should. maybe we’re all on our own on life, but that’s never going to stop me from attempting to raise up another soul that is never lesser than myself at a time when they are vulnerable and i am able to help them. i think the suffering of the one is the suffering of all. the reason we all live collectively is because we learned long ago that it is nearly impossible to survive for long on this planet as a human, alone. and so we came together eventually leading to this flawed and corrupt governing system. where a small percentage thrives and the majority loses. whether you hold a job or not. as a nation it should provide stability and opportunity for all which directly benefits the state. when all are able to contribute the state and the citizens benefit. when we/the state allow/tolerate our brothers and sisters to suffer, it is all who suffer. which is why i say again, the suffering of the one is the suffering of the all. who we are as a nation is shown through our HDI but also in the ability to provide for those citizens. in return reaping the benefit of the contributions of healthy, happier, trained individuals, who actually want to work because their basic needs have been met, the have the faith of their brethren and establishment to be able to excel and advance said nation to further progress. that is the difference between a conscious advancing modern society and an ignorant survivalist dystopia
We have enough with our homeless
Let alone everyone else’s
bit harsh. imigrants make up the majority of our doctors u muppet
Plenty have somewhere to live, on benefits & more get support than the genuine ones! Swansea & Neath are notorious.😈
I was born and grew up in swansea left in 1980 now live in australia went back home in 1990 the place was disgusting dirty run down and just looked disgusting obviously i made the best choice to leave wouldnt want to have brought my children up there
So sad
You made a good move ,or i would have said so till recently .Now with your Nazi Aus Government i am not so sure .
@@anthonydowling3356 have to agree with you on our government but then you do have poor old Boris who seems to enjoy parties they are all as bad as each other
@@marilynalexander5446 He didn't know it was a party
@@erkkadzai8226 of course not, what was I thinking Boris would never do anything like that would he ha ha
So sad 🥺

The homeless man aged about 26 who was murdered, was killed by two other homeless men, as it happens. Things are often not as simple as they seem.
That said, this is not surprising as hate crimes are rare and violence against certain groups is often by people within the same group.
They're always fighting/causing trouble & don't trust many of these. They prey on Self-Pity & know every trick in the book. From personal experience being genuinely 'homeless' was resolved by a Hostel, Rehab, Dry-House then Bedsit etc as there's PLENTY of support, but most of the ones I knew/know would prefer to 'play the system'/Homeless card!
I wish I could travel the country and help people in Jesus name
Is on the increase
Fact is a lot of these people get given homeless shelter but get kicked out for anti social behaviour
Amazing to me that romainia is that bad you have to leave and be homeless in Swansea and say its a better life.
Its colder in Winter ,and the general level of poverty is great .The UK is rich in comparison .
no big issue in romania
The sound was a bit overwhelming.
Adam his happy with sad eyes 😞

i was homeless at 19/20 until 36 when i went into a rehab for 9 and a half months im now on methadone daily and have completely stopped drinking since 2014 i now care for my mother who is 70 but when i was homeless she was in mongolia teaching english as a foreign language before that she was in halls of residence in York University i was badly (on crack and smack) me and my sister (lisa RIP she died in 2020 of heart valve problems caused by inecting in past she caught left sided endocarditus in york and was told she would have to have a heart valve replacement but she got off drugs and started drinking and never attended her hospital appointments then the lock down must have finished her off) im lucky in a way i have caught hep c more than once and my body managed to clear it out my system so now i have the anitbodies but no infection i also have had blood clots in either lung over 7 years ago and one long clot in my femoral vein which i was on apaxiban for no more problems as of yet but i have become a hermit sitting in my room all day and night accept for going to chemist daily i live off sickness benefit and carers allowance and my mom gets PIP and pension i just get my money paid into her bank as my bank wants over 9k off me as in 2013 they lent me 5k to go to indonesia to get engaged to my ex gf i took my mother with me she stayed for 2 weeks then went back to uk and i stayed for 3 months ... i worry that when i loose my mother i will not be able to stay in this 2 bedroom council house or that i will end up back on the streets again and this causes anxiety which the docs will not help me with because im on methadone so i have to just sit and worry about what might be .. oh well you still have to count your blessings and thank God that your not in a worse predicament ... i always think !"It could be worse but that keeps you stagnent and allows you to sit in what you think is a comfort zone ... i used to think this way even when i was rough sleeping .. ive been homeless in York and Derby and in Nottingham where i now live with my mother
Isn't it annoying that the countries with the most homeless are those with the coldest climates?disgusting.
I was homes living in hostels at teenager 18yrs
The most depressive place in the UK ? Swansea bus station 6: am on a Sunday morning :
Very sad shouldn't be happening,,
Swansea is where Captain Peacock took Mr Rumbolds secretary miss Hazelwood for a canoodle.
Mental health issues is a real issue..i suffer with it and if it wasnt for my family helping at the times i zone out due to my brain not functioning the way it should ..i would have been on the streets..im forever grateful to my family and to all that have helped..never judge please..its very hard for some people to survive by themselves..unless of course those in the situation due to addiction and making their next fix a priority over paying bills ..unfortunately
Oh sweetheart, it certainly isn't a choice. Many people have dealt with horrendous mental health issues and had their family do nothing but abuse them for years and years, some of them their entire life, so they turn to drugs because they thought they would be able to function because it temporarily cleared up their mental health issues, and then one day it just stops working and all hell breaks loose. Consider yourself incredibly blessed that you don't have an abusive family, mental health issues, and a substance issue. That crap would break anybody down all together. You sound extremely ignorant
@@Mischa21xo there are always many situations that can occur in life including what you have said. Its not that im ignorant its just iv not wrote about the many instances in life that people can suffer..yes people can turn to drugs to help with many situations that one suffers through be it either by being abused by family or strangers..but then one can also do drugs by choice and fall in a trap of addiction and lose everything..just because one does not write in the comments section the many spectrums or possibilties of ones suffering does not mean ignorance..judging someone is also a form of ignorance but..well said and i agree with you the many a time its not a choice but a way to forget a way to ease what ever situation one is suffering 🙂
Why is this happening in Swansea the government should be ashamed
In some ways I agree and others I don't. The taxpayer can't look after everyone and certainly not in current economic climate. But what are everyday people doing to help their fellow man. There are certain homeless people I will give what I can to to help at least get a bed for night especially in winter
Nobody wants to talk about bent firms monthly pay scamming the workers wages . .a massive problem .
Mad how many people buy flowers once there dead but wouldnt buy them a coffee qhen they live
Nobody should have to sleep ruff it's a discrace
Nobody gave a fk when he was alive ..but spend money on flowers when dead ...says it all
My son and his wife and dog are homeless😔 his father could help him but he doesn't, I'm stuck in bed with depression.😢 they came back to SW from London as they had to get out if a shed they were living in.
Cnt they live with u ?
U can still provide shelter.!!!
Can they stay with you may help with your depression
Depression is really bad, I know this, but as a Father/Son/Husband you have a duty my friend. I'm not the best at it aswell, far from it, but we have to try and try and try and try each and everyday we wake up so our wife's/children don't have to struggle. May god give you strength brother
No dingy divers in tents
Nobody should be homeless.
Oops i thought georgika had said what he did as a job was Cod Miming 🤭😁

Why do they always sleep on the streets
Have you any other suggestions?
No wonder there is no room in the hostels and homeless centre’s because the place is over run with Romanians and in 2023 it’s a million times worse . The locals are in the minority in Northern Ireland
