Did I hear things
correctly?
Did the BBC do a piece
regarding homeless people?
I do not .. believe it!
Hmm did I not do a
piece recently about some poor homeless people that died of the cold?
Horse gone, stable door closed a little but still ajar.
Never fear though,
Theresa May is doing something about it in or by 2020 so .. we wont
have many more years of people dying in the freezing cold before it
gets sorted.
It wont get sorted
though.
We will wait two whole
years and just like Brexit we will have no idea what will
happen and whatever it will be will probably be .. not good?!
Oh my God .. Members of
Parliament are stating this too?!
It states that there
are 9,000 rough sleepers and 78,000 families in temporary
accommodation?! No mention of families that are homeless. I saw a
documentary about this ten years ago and I cannot see it being any
better today seven years into a financial crisis like nothing we have
seen and getting worse by the week.
They are calling it a
'national crisis' which I thought it ha been for years anyway but ore
interestingly are the accusations of being .. 'unacceptably
complacent' towards the government.
Umm .. they are seeing
what everyone else is seeing with the bastardisation of the welfare
state?
Oh, wait? No .. they
have totally ignored this other then the little stint in the House of
Commons calling for the rollout of Universal Credit to be paused
until fixed.
Not going to happen and
would take several years to fix it .. no .. more than that as it was
conceived about ten years ago.
I saw it as sensible at
the time except .. I could not shake the feeling it was an excuse to
screw the poor and vulnerable and I did not know they would roll all
of the benefits into one, change Disability Living Allowance into
Personal Independent Payments without the word 'Disability' used any
longer and even then .. change their minds yet again and roll that
into Universal Credit too?!
My prediction that they
were going to stealthily remove obligation to help the disabled by
removing the word from the benefit that replaced it as only a first
step turned out to be correct.
Quite how it took
everyone else so long to work this out I have no idea.
Now how the mainstream
news media, who lets face it despite all the accolades awarded, are
crap!
In some areas one in
twenty five are homeless?!
More than 250,000
homeless in the UK and I bet that is not even close. How can you keep
track of that and .. well let u ask the difficult question .. how
many die each year because they are homeless and either because of
exposure or not getting the right medical treatment for medical
conditions?!
