    For example migrants from Poland, Bulgaria and Romania. However I don't want have to keep stepping over people sleeping on the street.
    Almost all those on the street are nothing to do with money. Its other issues.

The room ws full of cookers, some washing machines, irons and other household implements. I presume they don't do this at school anymore?

      (there was also needlework every fortnight which included knitting, etc. which was, to tell the truth pretty boring apart from the teacher who was, what is nowadays called, a MILF)
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        Really - "Almost all"

        I must remember to tell my brother-in-law he's a liar.

          What does your brother-out-law do?

          I have a friend(yes really!) who helps crisis out going round the homeless. He reckons that most homeless have drug or mental health issues.

            The media love to portray all those in poverty as scumbag parasites. The reality is that many are in real hardship through bad luck coupled with maybe a few bad decisions. Some foodbank customers are in work - but are so badly paid they need the extra help.

            Yes - but we're not just talking about Scots here. The question covers the whole of the UK, which the majority of your countrymen voted to stay in.
            Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

              Yes, big ones.
              I'm not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief, is positively harmful. [Christopher Hitchens]
