    @brb could save the taxpayer some money if my boy could come visit me every now and again

    Giving your concerns about your mental health deterioration, I think it's only right that brb steps in and sorts the situation out.

    I think I'll need help if Watford isn't reinstated as well.

    Do immigrants get priority in housing over the street sleepers, and if so, do you agree with it?

    I don't think they ask for their passports mate, if that's what you mean <laugh>

    I doubt many rough sleepers have id anyway, British or otherwise.

    I've not seen Lilly Allen cry and apologise to street sleepers yet<whistle>

    Immigrants probably don't, but refugees do, though the systems that deal with sleepers and refugees are different, so technically its not choosing one over the other kind of thing

    Refugees go through a different bureaucratic process with separate financial resource streams

    No one in gov really cares about street sleepers

    Only last year a guy died of exposure right outside of Leinster House, gov building in Dublin, homeless all over Dublin, n there is **** all options for them.
    Hotels are taken over for migrants/refugees in Ireland, in fact they just earmarked another hotel in Cork for migrants/refugees, no shortage of resources there <ok>

    Canada ditto, hotels for migrants/refugees, no such comforts for the homeless

    That's just the way it is, what I think about it is irrelevant

    Think that's a money decision by external sources.

    It changed locally but not sure about the country or Ireland etc but with refugees you got x amount per person and not per house

    So basically if I let my house to a family it is what it is a month

    With refugees it was x amount per person. Hence why there were like 20 a house

    Could be wrong as of what is happening now though

    I think the topic here is more of, why is there such vast resources for migrants and refugees, and little to nothing for the home grown destitute.

    I realise that and as always it comes down to money and who makes most. Hence my post if you see what I mean

    That said with regards to social housing then only residents are eligible. As I discussed on another thread victims of domestic violence have a right to be housed by law but not if they aren't a resident

    Homelessness in Britain has reached a record high after the number of rough sleepers doubled in five years, a charity has warned.

    Research commissioned by Crisis found 170,000 families and individuals were facing the worst forms of homelessness, including sleeping on streets, sofa-surfing with strangers and living in hostels.

    Some 12,300 cases were sleeping rough in 2017 - a 98% increase on 2012 - while nearly 12,000 were staying in vehicles or tents, the study found.


    Describing his experience of living on the street, he said: "People set you alight, p*** on you, kick you.

    It's gone up 6 years in a row. The Tories have pledged 1.2 billion to help.

    Why have they waited so long and is it a coincidence that they announce that, just before Xmas?

    Is 1.2bn the cost of rebuilding the workhouses?
