Send them home...

[SueEllen]

I had a colleague that did alot of work with the homeless. Most of the reasons they are homeless is nothing to do with money - it is emotional, drugs etc.

I don't think those helping the homeless should be snitching. It will mean homeless will have no-one to trust.

These are foreign citizens with no recourse to public funds.

If say an Indian who came here on a tourist visa works illegally, injures themselves and is homeless because they can't work shouldn't they be sent home?

In your view no but you forget they won't get any help from the British state apart from emergency care so who will look after them? Leaving them on the street means they may end up dead there as if they are returned to India they have family there to help them.

I for one am delighted that the voluntary sector is patriotically stepping up to its stern Block Warden duties, to advance us as a newly cleansed nation, reborn in the fiery crucible of Brexit.

how many MPs let care in the community continue?

Yes it needs to be fixed but the problems are not solved by a quid given to a beggar.

You can buy them a cup of tea and treat them like a human being.

What if they're Boomers?

The question I would ask people is if they were born in one of these poor countries whatever the reason they are in that state, would you not try and in prove yours and your family's lot by doing whatever is necessary?

Indeed I have shared my sandwich / hot chicken with some. I won't give them money though.

I'm a great fan of fixing it at source. However much of the time in country the government is corrupt.

The problem is always it costs 10X as much to fix it in the UK. Labour , resources & space all cost more.

Now the countries we tried to fix at government level are now open sores breeding hatred.

Again as pointed out last week 90% of the those people paid or are in debt to organised crime to get here.

what do we do? Can we fix the world.

But them a BLT and tell them it's a BTL.
