- Tens of thousands more people will be homeless in England this Christmas.
[Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News...]
The charity, Shelter, claims more than 300,000 people are now homeless in the country. An increase of 14% in a single year.
Figures obtained by Channel 4 News show that one of the areas with a high number of households looking for support to prevent homelessness, is Liverpool. The City council has received more than 36,000 approaches over the last 6 years.
A Liverpool-based charity says they're seeing a surge in rough sleeping as the cost of living bites and the Home Office looks to clear a backlog of asylum claims.
We joined The Whitechapel Centre's ground team in the run up to Christmas.

Since recording the Home Office says it recognises "that the number of individuals in the system and the clearance of the asylum backlog is adding pressure to local authorities." - Lord Sharpe of Epsom, Dec. 18 2023
A government spokesperson said: "We are working with local authorities to manage the impact of asylum decisions as the legacy backlog reduces." - Nov. 29 2023

I think the homeless often get bad press and many people think they're alcoholics or drug addicts and some are,but we are all one unfortunate step away from potential homelessness. I was briefly homeless as a teen, due to being orphaned. It was back in the day when there was no help at all. It's horrendous. Luckily I found my way out of it. I feel for anyone without a roof.
Agreed. We all think we are immune to such things but we’re not. Just a run of bad luck or a couple of bad decisions could put anyone of us in this position.
Why not claim asylum and live like a scrounging migrant
MOST are.
Especially people who have manual labour jobs. We're always one pay check away from homelessness.
To be poor in this country is still to be one of the richest people on the planet. This country does more than enough to support our homeless and for the VAST majority of them they could be off the streets within a month given the right amount of effort. From experience. I’ve learnt about the various charities and systems in place to help our homeless and upon trying to get behind many of them and help them up, I still find none of them seem to have the bother to do what’s necessary to fix their plight. Even if it’s something as simple as go to the JobCentre to apply for benefits. I do not pity them anymore as I find them to be lazy and apathetic. Nihilism will help you to understand why they CHOOSE to stay in the situation they’re in. 0 responsibility. Live as a victim. Play the pity card. They could do so much more and choose not to.
Disgusting that anyone is sleeping on the streets in 2023. Britain is a Victorian slum now. Its appalling that this is happening to people
We could be putting them up in nice comfy hotels .... oh, wait!!
Charles slum now.
@@rb1062or an empty palace
Watched Scrooge the other day. A reality from Charles Dickens own times. So whats changed ?
How do you get rid of homelessness?
Maybe thinking twice before going for the obvious headline comments
I'd like to give my two cents regarding jobs for the more vulnerable people, some people aren't meant for 9-5jobs because of health, some get nervous and probably work better in communities rather than being expected to be independent. There are a ton if issues why some people need extra friendly work environments maybe they came from abusive homes.
Love this comment and totally agree I always think this! It's not as easy as it is normalised
Exactly. They treat everyone as a clean sheet and equal in birth upbringing opportunity etc when we all know this to be a lie
That is classified as
'nowhere safe to live'
HOMELESS
But the City is the stupidest place to be!!!!!
You KNOW lots of people need help there
Use your brain people
Statistically 86% of the homeless gave mental health issues & have fallen they the cracks in the system. Work of any kind isnt going to be realistic until meds & housing are in place.
@@nicolemurphy2629What are you banging on about.
Don't worry, nothing will shake Sunaks dollar-grin. It is not like he is losing any money is it :)
Or Sleep.
Nope. He’ll just destroy our demographics even more and then bigger off back to America when he’s done.
As a recovering addict who was homeless, this just made me cry. Thank you for your dedication & kindness. I’d be dead if it wasn’t for people like you…
@bodhiswayze1892 Really happy that you are better?! Have a peacfull New Year!🌿🥂🕊 from somebody ,somewhere in Denmark.
May be you are only rich on paper or the 1% but in reality you are just a poor as other nations when will you wake up to this reality.
I have a major concern :
The civilization's degradation we are witnessing is caused by family disintegration and all sorts of corruption like promoting drug abuse, alcoholism through ads on TV, night clubs, seeking for money as a goal, self centralization, keeping the citizens in credit debt, banks usury, making the value in ownings, yesterday sexual freedom, today LGBT, tomorrow incest, suppressing true intrinsic reaction towards injustice through Hollywood horror, sexual, violent movies, making people just hopeless viewers, advocating colonialists, accepting their arrogance, implanting a sense of inferiority to them in other civilizations…
Many people may just be too busy in solving their emotional and financial problems so they feel they're hopeless in acting to change the world crises, such as bombing civilians in Gaza. They feel overwhelmed and unable to help themselves, so how can they help others.
“Evil elites” don't care about you, absolutely whoever you are. They don't have a paycheck. Their system which we agreed on fits for them and gives them full potential. You can be happy when you get 200$ raise but this way they get full control then the poor becomes poorer and those extremely rich donate with the very little, which doesn't solve anything. This is our opted system.
Please be aware that the ultimate goal is to devoid one from true intrinsic nature i.e. making us ignorant and emotionally numb sometimes and other times arrogant and willing to accept colonialists' heroic crimes.
Who controls the media anyway ?
Actually social media may not be better, regarding policies and ways to control public opinions such as recommendations and comments section. BTW some comments may be written by cyber armies who pretend to be anything in order to serve their policy. They manipulate our minds. (Please Google “Operation Earnest Voice”)
So instead you go and deepen your loyalty to bad institutions (shined by media) as a safe reaction, I suggest you think differently so the world can become a true one cooperation, free from hunger or war, full of peace with true equal opportunities and fair competition embraced by love and dignity to all.
It's up to you whether you say “the system is more powerful than us” but at least now you may expect that our civilization cannot continue and foster this way. Want to do better ? Make “a decision” that is stronger than the system !
Sorry for this long lecture. I know it's difficult to perceive because we were raised in a way.
Glad you okay
@rikkenielsen4148 that's so rough...❤
It is sad when in society you've got a food bank on one side of the road and on the other multi-million dollar homes and still people going without.
...and people avoiding using the food bank because of stigma when it is the systemic attack on wages and jobs, profiteering by retailers and landlords and cuts to council services and charities that are the root cause.
It's sad when people are speaking English as a first language and have had £90,000 spent on their education and £50billion spent on welfare and still they cant make a go of it when somebody who just turned up from Bangladesh and barely speaks the language with no education is rarely to be seen sleeping in the streets.
@@PGHEngineer Yes that's called cheap foreign labour and here, seek asylum in this 5 star hotel, on us 😉
@@PGHEngineer true enough, the Bangladesh community are very family orientated, as we Brits once were.
Yeah because it's greed that put them out there. So they don't care.
Most people are 1 paycheck away from being homeless
Too much printed money is reason for inflation homeless poverty..
@@santhosht9872Corporate greed is the reason for poverty and homelessness! Pandering to the wealthy at the expense of everyone else!
Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. I personally benefited from the market crisis as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly….
I agree with you and I believe that Professionals are currently dominating the market since they have access to both the necessary strategy for making money in this industry and exclusive insider market information.
I keep wondering how people earn money in financial markets, i tried trading bitcoin on my own made a huge loss and now I'm scared of investing more.
Personally, I would always advise getting a professional help so they can steer you through the choppy market.
I’m Glad i stumbled on this. Please, if its not too much of a hassle for you, can you drop the details of the expertise that assisted you and how to get in touch with him?
@@Florencecoxx I get guidance from *Mr Gary Mason Brooks* . Most likely, the internet should have his basic info..
If only there was some sort barge or floating housing that they could live on
I've had the same thought. Many of these people would give whatever little they have for a room on the Bibby Stockholm. We shouldn't be letting so many people into the UK before we've sorted this out, we're only a small island, we don't physically have the space and resources to solve the world's problems, we should be focussed on our own problems first. Should be borders closed to all but the most serious cases until every homeless person is off the streets.
They'd have to abide by rules though, like no drugs and no booze. Some wouldn't want to, so would still remain sleeping rough.
@@thewr0ngchild what borders do you want to close then
@@thewr0ngchild
Ok, so in your considered opinion, just how do we stop people trying to enter this country?
They are not lepers.. we have enough housing stock to deal with it without segregation on a floating island 🙄
@@pauln6803 quite simple really when the RNLI pick them up instead of bringing them to British soil they take them right back to France where they departed from.
The royal family have multiple homes, 🤔. The wealth of some, and others who have absolutely nothing. Sad and very unfair world
Exactly
1.3 thousand destitute UK citizens die annually on our streets, but it won't make the news 😔
Alcohol is a terrible thing. When are you going to ban it?
I usually search for something like "how is brexit going" for that
I literally saw it on the news
Not enough yournalists to cover each death. There's only 365 days in the year and only so many reporters to cover over a 1000 deaths of homeless people on top of all the other deaths. Not every lethal car crash is reported on; they happen everyday.
If you feel that the issue of homelessness is not getting the attention it deserves: don't whine about it online. Get up and pay attention to the homeless and tell us about it. Thst will inspire people to do something. Could be as simple as a kind word,buying them a warm meal. It won't solve the problem but if you lead by example you have less time for whinging and more time to actually do something within your realm of influence.
Merry Christmas!
@@DG-ie5ip 85% more deaths than 2019
This is happening everywhere. The cost of housing is out of control. I know people who have good jobs that are barely able to pay rent.
Yeah yeah but they go out every weekend, pile themselves with takeout food, have a nice expensive phone contract, pay for netflix, sky etc then scream poverty. I work full time in a min wage job like plenty of other people and make it work, I even rent a 4 bedroom house to myself. It's not hard. It's called prioritising. Simple.
@@TheRevolutionAwaitsindeeed, people don't know how good they have it these days - when I was young, we worked 32 hours a day in the pit, and we were grateful for the opportunity
I fully agree.
@@TheRevolutionAwaitsbitter individual who only spews their misery on others, simple.
@@wildthang9355 I'm not bitter or miserable. I manage funds and learn to live with it, not cry about cost of living. Most of the people on this video are smackheads and are homeless because of drugs. They bring it on themselves.
My heart breaks for the homeless people. But big respect to these ladies and all who are involved with their organisation and others out there like them. Britain needs people like this or it would be worse than it is. Thankyou to the people who still care. We appreciate you❤🙏🏽🇬🇧💯
Haha if you only knew, "outreach" teams are designed to keep people homeless as long as possible, All the "support" is designed to siphon their benefits for a set period of time into the pockets of private companies until they are right back on the streets.
Especially when people who shouldn’t even be in the country are getting the red carpet treatment.
@GlasgowRossco if they were not here you'd just complain the homeless were getting the red carpet treatment instead of yourself
@@ConDuiler I don’t need the red carpet treatment unlike your community. The only people that should be getting help are British people who have fallen on hard times. If your name is something like abdul then you should be disqualified from receiving help.
@GlasgowRossco I'm not part of the homeless community, What you think of as the homeless community are just career homeless crackheads sleeping outside a tk maxx front entrance, you never see real homeless people apart from recently in newspapers, The career homeless need to be immediately sectioned and then put to work in secure units. Real homeless people simply need to be allowed to use our own money to pay for somewhere to live, as most of us work full time, We are simply not allowed to re-engage with society. The bureaucracy of this country still operates as if we were living in 1850.
Almost two hundred billion pounds sent to the Ukrainian warlord and our own people are living like this! This is a national disgrace.
Hope life gets better for these vulnerable people 💗
They don't need hope... They need money!!
@@supaspydamn And shelter, most importantly money. These people might not have a family or are in bad terms with their family and loved ones.
They should pretend to be poor migrants ↪ 5 star hotel instantly
9/10 of them are crackheads. Some take in over 500 a week.
@@nineteen8026you are ignorant about refugees and the homeless,your cheap nasty comment is seen for what it is,a person commenting on things who gets their knowledge from G.B News and The Daily Mail 🤬
Homelessness can happen to anybody. I was homeless for seven days, that was enough. Rents and mortgages are far too high. This is an issue that needs to be tackled, not ignored.
It doesn't happen to illegal immigrants though, they get put up in hotels straight after they arrive
That's a humiliation for homeless individuals; This is YOUR MODERN DAY BRITAIN - A SHAMEFUL SHAMBLES.❤ It is severely depressing.
@@elainejohnson796I fully agree
Why dont you start a Help You're Neighbourly Crack Head Campaign already?
Yes I agree this isent an homeless country don't think it ever has been
@@elainejohnson796what rubbish.I take it your a Tory voter,they often like to,protect the narrative of the nasty party.
@@neilcooper9508not till the tories got in..I’ve never seen homelessness before that under a Labour Party..the tories despise the poor.and always have done,
One of the richest for the 1% the other 99%are suffering.
We live in a modern medieval society. Nothing more.
I'm looking for a place to live I'm in Birmingham and no council left housing associations luck of the draw and I'm a pensioner I've been looking after my mother for 5 years 😮and she died 3 weeks ago I've got to find a place to live 😢 😢
This doesnt need to happen theres plenty of empty building s with lights on and heating on being wasted
Help native homelessness or import third worlders.
You get to pick ONE.
Which one is it?
Don’t judge homeless people before you hear their stories first.
Don't judge Families of the homeless people before you hear their stories as well! ....especially if there are drugs or mental health issues.
Correct
I agree totally in the grand thing of scheme of things alot of it is there own fault and it's not a new thing at all a lot of them choose this and all so alot of them have drug alcohol mentle health problems like my dads brother did in the early 70 s
So many people with the "I'm alright Jack " mind set, sneering down their noses at others. As others have said, 1 bad event in life can knock your life off kilter.....
Ite very correct but this is not a homeless country its addressed the rong way the real problem for them is thay need guidance but this is not a homeless country it never has been in my life time I'm 60
What’s more ridiculous is not all homeless are jobless. Some do work but still can’t afford a place while people from the outside are living in warm, free hotels.
That was me but as Ive been abroad and contracted malaria, and the coupvid campaign put a stop to my window cleaning as people looked at me as though I had the plague!
Stop pitting one group of people against another. Immigrants are not permitted to work while their asylum applications are processed. Want to blame someone, blame the Government, they caused this
“FROM THE OUTSIDE” wtf dude
@@emmabrooker166are you thick didn’t you understand?
Doesn’t everyone deserve compassion, it’s not them or us, it’s looking at everyone’s vulnerabilities and wanting the best support for all. Sick of the the need to divide which is entirely why everything is in the state it is in this country.
If people hate Christmas like I do, just ignore it treat it like any other day. Christmas is for religious groups, people who follow a faith, have the real believes, pray and live their lives by religion. The rest of them are hypocrites, full of falsehoods, lies, vomiting bullshit tears.
I ignore Christmas as I don't have a religion, don't believe in anything, this means I not a hypocrite and completely alienated from societies bullshit, of Christmas kak
You do you. I'm an atheist and still enjoy Christmas.
If only we had Hotels to put them in
And who is going to pay for that? There might be empty rooms in hotels on some nights, but those rooms need to be cleaned and serviced. The homeless need to be checked in and out. You need to pay staff to do that.Moreover, being forced to host homeless people might reduce their appeal to non-homeless people, reducing their revenue. So what you are proposing is that we force private businesses to accept higher costs and lower revenues and the only way that could happen is if the government, through taxpayers, was willing to fund this program. And guess what mate? I already pay 40% income tax and I don't want to pay more to put homeless people in hotels.
Don’t know about you but makes me livid! 😡
@@andrewsmith3613 do a one for one swap with the people who arrive uninvited on boats, you'll be paying the same
They're all reserved unfortunately for future arrivals 😢
There are hotels, full of migrants
Yet we have asylum seekers heading home for Christmas 😅😅😅😅
I dont know how local authorities have managed to get away with not helping for so long...
The bureaucracy around services is shocking. Like only being open on wednesdays for 10 minutes, having to need local connections, refusing to help because of debt to the authority. I have seen this 1st hand.
My local council has just been awarded £700,000 to help the "houshold support fund" .. you try getting that help 😂
So many barriers, hoops to jump through, send bank statements, have a phone (which if your homeless is unlikely) etc etc.
Any "service" the council provides is impossible to access and if you do you probably dont fit the criteria
Absolutely disgusting.. the whole thing is a minefield for people who are fully engaged, nevermind those who are not
THIS IS THE REAL PROBLEM
just try accessing any "help" service in your local authority and see what i mean 👍
Spot on fella 👍.
We ought to have a Fund You're Neighbourly Crackhead Campaign.
They only help them comming of a boat.
13 years of austerity might have something to do with it, plus 40 odd years of social housing being sold off. It’s always easy to have a pop at the local authorities.
@@Jimdixon1953 the local authority sold the housing though 🤷♂️ . The austerity was because of lact of central governments ability to put money where it was needed instead of on constant new offices and artwork. Bit lame blaming Left or Right that's what they want you to do.. it justifies the lack of progress after 40 years
God please help all the unfortunate people in this cold unfeeling country .. Take some of the ill gotten greedy gains our politicians are ranking in to help the poor homeless people...
Amen 🙏 ❤
Id rather go to prison than be homeless, at least id get treated better and seen as human, three meals a day a roof a bed, access to tvs and gyms even do work to kill the time, not so bad after all, just become a criminal 😂
Wet ...Cold ... Hungry....Lonely ...Sad ..What a TOTAL DUMP the UK has become...
Shame on the Goverment.
Governments don’t care bout poor people Governments care about rich people. Their the ones who make all the political “donations”
Shame on the Tories!
Well done tories 😡
This is horrific. This whole world is horrible and selfish. Too many people suffering.
It's not really the world that's horrible and selfish, it's the people "leading" the UK that would rather house illegal immigrants on tax payer money than people who have been paying tax in the UK their entire lives, that are left on the streets due to landlords faulting on their mortgages and a massive lack of overall housing in general. We have a London mayor that is more concerned about preaching empty messages of "solidarity and diversity" and that "we are all Londoners" when the people he's actually talking about can barely feed their families, whilst he welcomes more illegals that only take from our economy and don't put back in. When you have entire social housing estates full of people that got here in the last 15 years due to Blair opening the flood gates to the world, and British people fighting for properties that they can barely afford to rent let alone buy or take mortgages out on. The cycle never ends, and the more we keep policing people's thoughts in stead of the country, will lead us further into becoming the 3rd world nation we now basically are. Britain has fallen, and will continue to fall unless we get these people out of Parliament, liberal and Conservative, neither have a clue and basically preach the same empty messages year after year will no action and constant lies.
@@jolty9540Blair’s not been in for 16 years ..his was a trickle compared to today tsunami of immigrants coming here ..this only adds to lack of housing ,jobs,and disruption and bad feelings that are caused by this amongst the nationals..who never asked for it ,or were allowed to vote on whether we wanted this.
So the tories are the ones you need to lay the blame at…also it’s not just immigration,our health service is appalling,and now we have second rate foreign doctors,long waiting times for appointments,barley any police force,crumbling schools,and sheer neglect..but the tories waste money on fancy projects,,they are the nasty party and I hope people see the light and vote them out,u can’t blame blair for this shambles.

@@jolty9540send em all back even the legal migrants, put homeless in the houses of immigrants. Get it done
Funny how there are women "helping" and in positions of power..... and the world has never been so horrible.... huh....one has to wonder.....
I’m taking notes. I am facing the same issue(s) as some of the people profiled. I pray each day for things to change and I am proactive in attempts to correct my situation. Yet, inflation, increases in interest rates and fees, the cost of utilities and working as much as I can just doesn’t seem to meet the mark. I know I am not alone in this struggle. I pray for us all. Merry Christmas…
All the best mate...hopefully things will get resolved..!
Praying for all those that are homeless through no choice of their own all over the world. 🙏
Seriously in a so called leading country how can we let this happen. Fix our own issues before we try fixing other countries.
Our issues are linked to other countries issues.
We are a net importer of people.
For better or worse we have an increasing number of people here but not new housing stock to match.
We can use foreign aid to see if we can tempt people not to come here and or we can build more houses.
But what we can't do is nothing.
Why is it so many homeless people in the UK, when thousands of migrants come here and get homed ?
We've had street homeless for years. When I moved to London in the late 80's, shop doorways were full of street homeless people but no-one ranted about putting them in hotels then.
@@teainortakoy Talking about now not whataboutism 1980's, why it's still an issue now and why it's increasing still.

Also old coats you no longer need with some socks, gloves and little toiletries even a lip balm can mean the world to a homeless person. Giving to charities is not the only way. Helping directly can be the best option sometimes.
True! Anything with a therapeutic purpose like any skin product can also help. May God help these lovely people.
Bless these people who give their time and support the homeless. It’s a tragic situation that could happen to us at any moment. It just takes one misfortune to put people on the street. I wish more could be done to help those in real needs.
It will never happen to the hard working people. Lazy people cannot keep a job and they prefer to stay on the streets.

I sat through a strategy meeting last week on how we are to transport a 18yr old violent Afghan boy to a special private school in the Cotswold's. The cost to the tax payer, including school fee's for the year, £422,000. We have over 9000 more UAS's like him in our system.
What strategy meeting was that? How do you know 9,000 identical cases are pending? Excuse my doubt in your statements but if you’re 18 years old then you are considered to be an adult in the U.K. so why would you be sent to a private school? These facilities are not on offer from the current conservative government or any other local education authorities!
Your point being? Are you really in the right job?
With that crusader profile picture I doubt you're sitting in on any strategy meetings of the sort
@@davidmcculloch8490 Is trolling considered a job?
Bet he was a MAN WITH A BEARD, PRETENDING HES YOUNG.
So so kind of you xx Thank You for what you are doing xx It’s Appreciated,
Britain should have no homeless people especially living on the streets in this day & age!! The government should be funding these charities, and many others, and also review their monies being sent to overseas charities, causes etc...Should be looking after our own first....After all charity begins at home!!
Hear ,hear.
There’s more than enough money for all. It’s just kept from us all by Tory policies of creating a bigger divide between the rich and the poor.
Want to help the homeless? NEVER vote Tory.
The Tory government couldn't care less about these people and never will, forget overseas charity being the problem, think ppe scandal, the private water company scandal, 13 years of Tory destruction of the NHS, public services and infrastructure. That's just a few examples of the billions Tories have funnelled to their donors to enrich themselves while the decent people suffer.
Especially after looting trillions from the world
I stopped throwing away the crusts from my sandwiches. Now I save them and donate it to my local soup kitchen.
God bless the homeless.
I cried when I heard the news that the homeless guy in my area died before Christmas I got a message by a friend to say someone had found him dead in his tent at around 10am on the 24th of December he always kept himself clean by taking a washing up bowl in the men's public toilets cleaning his face, hair, facial hair, hands, armpits & other stuff the only thing that smelt bad were his clothing he always smiled and waved at me/everyone that ever walked by him what I loved about him was that he always picked up all the litter off the floor the way he lived made me feel sad I miss him so much 😢💔
If you cannot have the basic necessities you surely cannot become employed and that is if you are well enough to manage to be employable. In America we dismantled a system that helped these folks have a place and now the streets here are teeming with deeply mentally challenged and chronically addicted people who largely need commitment and health care. Society has to take responsibility for this before it unravels. Many people are one paycheck away from living out of their cars here. Millions.
We can't even live out our cars here in the UK. Once the yearly inspection, insurance and tax is out of date, it's then illegal and the car is scooped up and crushed, or you park on private land, you don't get permission and the land owner has the car taken away. You can't win...
LIFE FOR PEOPLE IN THE UK AND EUROPE IS ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE, IT WILL NEVER GET BETTER.
And Sunak and his crew have the nerve to show there face. I am 70, and do not understand how we tolerate these TOFFS
Where are those politicians who have been boasting of improving Britain?
hiding on their holiday cruise ships or second paradise homes laughing down on the rest of us!
So true. And we have all become their Plebs.@@christopher_amor_02_animat79
In their mansion in s of France or other nice places.
it's time we had a solution to the homelessness crisis now instead of charities sitting on money pretending to be concerned about homeless and councils not doing their bit all homelessness should be illegal in uk, if someone is sleeping rough they should be forced to do into a hostel or some sort of accommodation. all these charities sitting on millions should put this into action now. together all these stakeholders can end homelessness but the will isn't there, as it's not in the interests of homeless charities to end homelessness as they wouldn't exist then would they and the CEOs/Director wouldn't be paid £200-300k a year would they. once you end corruption and fraud in the system you can solve any human made problem.
Yea salvation army directors on 150/161 thousand pounds salary lol 😮
9/10 of them are crack heads taking in over 500 a week. Why everybody wastes they're time with them is beyond me?
While I am in complete agreement with the sentiment of your comment, I feel like I have to add that not all charities are cut from the same cloth. Generally speaking it's the smaller charities that are doing the most on the "front lines" so to speak.
And I would like to say quickly that one of the worst offenders are the (and this is approximate as I cannot remember the name properly at the moment) "The British Legion", yes the one that sells the poppies, the ratio of the amount of monies received from the public and businesses in contrast to the amount of which is spent on the support and aid towards former soldiers is absolutely disgraceful, disgustingly so. And as a consequence of learning about this (and I implore you to go have a look at the figures yourself) a few years ago I have gone from the purchase of several poppies a year to absolutely refusing to support the charity whatsoever, the figures and help offered was that contemptible.
Have you had a look round recently, your idea is great in theory, in practice however it’s impossible, social housing all but gone , temporary accommodation the same , why might you ask , it’s called uncontrolled immigration,8 million pounds a day spent on accommodating foreign illegal migrants in hotels , the government tried turfing them out on the streets recently to join our indigenous homeless, but they’ve quietly u-turned on this today , sorry , but tackling immigration is the key to tackling this homeless crisis,
they should treat them like they treat immigrants!! hotels, barges, etc! nothing can be worse than sleeping rough!!
mind you, i do think there are quite a few spare rooms in buc-king-ham palace!!!
Sadly no free hotels for the homeless English
We've had street homeless for years. When I moved to London in the late 80's, shop doorways were full of street homeless people but no-one ranted about putting them in hotels then.
It's not just the mental health , It's the physical effects of hunger and desperately needing clean water to drink
British people on the streets while those who gatecrash our country are put up in comfy hotels.
Seriously???? Focus on the problem in hand and HELP the homeless! It's a worldwide problem, not just in Britain! How about putting some pressure on governments and rich people? How about grabbing some blankets, wooly hats , biscuits and finding the homeless in your area ?
@@davidsiegfriedklinger2422 Why, is that what you do?? Think I can guess!
@rb1062 IIt's Christmas! So I don't want to argue with you! You'll be surprised what I do for homeless people but it's not about you or me! It's about homeless people being left in the dust( not all of them of course). Let's focus on them!
Merry Christmas to you!
@@davidsiegfriedklinger2422 Well then, I do salute you for whatever you do for the homeless. Merry Christmas to you, too. And hopefully a brighter new year out there for all.
Wat government have plans for all this people in this cold weather also no food no clothes how sad 😞
Yeah what's that then ?
They want them crushed like beetles under there shoe
They have. We farm the homeless now. Charity work is top $ if ur high up
Meanwhile in the local Travel lodge, the illegals sleep peacefully.
100 billion wasted on HS2
10 Bllion on illegal immigrants
10 million on Homeless 👎🇬🇧
More migrants 👍
Billions defrauded with useless PPE equipment during the Convid business.
HS2 should be scrapped, what a waste of money all so the journey takes a few mins off the times we have now.
Migrants first is unforgivable
I've heard that pathetic argument so often. Have you heard of divide and rule?
Y don’t u offer to take them in ur home
Why dont you offer to house someone then?
@@teainortakoy it has nothing to do with me. If they can house illegals then they can house their own elderly, veterans, children etc
They are human like some of us but obviously not people like you
The government needs to stop paying 8 million a day, putting people up in hotels and starting to use that money to build permanent homes.
We need long-term solutions, not papering over the cracks!
We are the 3rd richest country, yet we have so many of our own families living on the streets.
They have less than people in prision. Less security, less care, less thoughts given to them than to prisioners even though the caring ladies do their best to help. It is so hard. People need at least some sort of warm cabins with shared bathrooms. Wish we had a solution like one comment said like communities.
Why do you think a lot of homeless when it gets cold and wet get abusive.
Because as you say better off in a police cell.
Warm drinks and food provided.
Absolutely disgusting state of affairs
There's 8 million per day going on illegal migrants housing alone. That 8 million could be better spent on our own.
And you believe that? Stop watching TV and reading lies in the paper and do some research
Got to get theses people to France and a dingy 4 star ⭐️ all the way
Being homeless is so sad this government don't look after there own imagination they look after together with mental health hand out are not the answer
14 years of Tory government…….equals this.
We've had street homeless for years. When I moved to London in the late 80's, shop doorways were full of street homeless people but no-one ranted about putting them in hotels then.
Most homeless put themselves into this position by taking drugs. I know, I've met quite a few. Sure there are genuine people who are homeless and the help should be reserved for them first
Here's a thought. If it is already a challenge to feed and house your citizens, don't exacerbate the problem by importing thousands of migrants.

The mig ration problem is all part of the Kaler gi Plan
Or better still stop paying the greedy politicians extortionate amounts of money to fall asleep in the house of commons. They get like £50 for every meal.
I'm curious to know how many asylum seekers are sleeping on the streets tonight.
Uk kings queens and Royal folks can give the stolen stuff back to all countries they forgive and karma might treat the country better.
I wish good for homeless people its not a good place to be.
Karma is treating the country fine.
The same can’t be said though for former colonies though.
One of the best suggestions yet. Thank you. Someone with a brain.
Prayers for the homeless. Lord only you know the burdens I face give me strength to get through this Christmas. I am a single mom and it can be hard to have everything on your shoulders and receive very little support. Both of my sons are autistic they require so much from me. I’m struggling to provide for them. But I keep faith even as I struggle to pay rent every month and as I struggle to buy groceries. My health is also fading due to heart disease and lupus. Jesus please help me to find strength when I am weak, hope when I am struggling, and peace in the midst of chaos. I have faith God will provide.
Why have kids if you have no health. That's a cop out
@@ciararespect4296what’s that got to do with it?
@@ciararespect4296idiot. A parent’s health can fail after their children are born.
@@ciararespect4296 Why don't you try and show some empathy instead of criticising? You sound like Ebeneezer Scrooge! Expect a visit from three ghosts on Christmas Eve. 😂😂😂
@@ciararespect4296don't be a silly sausage.
The PM should be worried about this, more than stopping immigrant workers who pay thier taxes....
Respect for your kindness to vulnerable people
I spoke to a homeless man in in Brighton who said it was impossible to get temporary accommodation because he was a white male and they go to the bottom of a list. What's that all about then?
Where is the SERCO support scheme for our homeless, Rishi?
This has just reminded me to sort through my stuff (mainly books) and donate them to a charity shop for a homeless charity tomorrow.
St Petrock’s is a charity that helps the homeless here in Exeter. I just want to give them a big shout out!
Books are not enough. I think people should take in family members who are homeless or in need. In my country we are poorer but you won't see as many homeless as in the UK. It is a very individualistic society. I have seen on youtube people complaining about expensive prices but they own a big house enough to house other people. This has to change.
@@joannaheart8167 I don't agree. Ok if the family member is healthy. Not if they're suffering from severe Mental Health issues , that they refuse treatment for. Or if the person has Addiction issues. Alcoholics and Drug Addicts often lose their homes ,and families, because they can't be trusted to be honest. They destroy their own family, as a consequence of their Addictive behaviour. It's up to the home-owner, who pays the bills, WHO lives under their roof
@@jacqueline8559 well, of course, I was not specific and did not refer to these cases, I know it's quite impossible to take in people who suffer from issues or addiction.
I had to buy stupid gifts this year that now put me into debt again. It was so not worth it.
You didn't have to. You made that decision. Stop whining and learn to face consequences of your own dumb decisions.
I lived in a 3rd world country for 10 years and hardly saw any homeless people.
Shocking this is happening in the UK with benefits, housing, NHS etc
Mental health, addiction, abuse all exists in the country I lived in, why is this happening here and not there ?
State of quality of life in UK only REFLECTS the state of affairs that ENTIRE BRITAIN find herself in and that is very worrying
How dare I complain about anything!!!!!!
God bless you all ❤❤❤❤
Feel sorry for you as my self homeless is dearh sentence
these woman are so condescending. They are treating the homeless like children. "Do you want to go someplace warm?" jesus christ
At least their trying. Are you?
Heartbreaking especially when the Boat People get a warm Hotel Room on the Taxpayers Dime.
Dime?
And free food and heating, healthcare the list is endless
Princess Catherine help this lady Please.. ⛄🎀
