Foodbank

Are you taking the Psss  

Quoted from Maringer

A few years ago, the council budget was a lot higher and the general level of social security hadn't been slashed back so much. Get used to seeing a lot more people on the streets as the resources just aren't there to stop it these days and the Universal Credit debacle stands to increase the numbers by tens of thousands at the very least.

I suppose sticking the homeless in prison would be an option - at tens of thousands of pounds per person (prison isn't cheap), it would be a ridiculously stupid option, but an option all the same.

Have a read of today's telegraph proves my point.

Of course if it says it in the Tellywag it must be true, in fact even better the paper is reporting what the Council have told them!!!!! That's the same NELC who not so long ago was saying there were no homeless people in the borough.

I can tell you one thing for a fact that if your lad needed the YMCA today he wouldn't get in, they're full and operating one out one in. Like I said it's cold on the streets at the minute.

This is absolute bullshit the real fact is there are rooms available right now, you are a liar you are lying to give credit to your false narrative.

Is there a justgiving or similar page so that us 'exiles' might also donate cash?

Quoted from Grim74

A few years ago my lad through no fault of his own became classed as being homeless, but guess what he contacted the local authority and they was really helpful to be fair, he was giving multiple choices but took up the offer to stay in the YMCA . And after a few months in there with local authority help once again, he moved into a modern flat run by an housing association.

So I think there is a lot of help locally if you want it and that's the key, as for the beggars on the avenue I'd sling them inside for a stretch no questions asked.

I agree some are more vulnerable than others eg no family,poor background etc which makes them more likely to end up homeless which is hard to see.

YMCA and salvation army are noble causes but as the latter said  in their Christmas campaign they can help get them of the ground via a chat and a place to stay temporarily but they  have to help themselves as well

All I know is when I go to work early morning @0400 I see loads of vagrants laid in sleepings bags in all weather outside shop fronts on the seafront and down the high street in Cleethorpes.

Can't believe a faker will lay in a rain-sodden sleeping bag on a freezing cold all night.

This has become a lot worse over recent months WTF is going on ???

Nevermind finding a site for travelers what about these poor sods??  I heard a plee on R.H. asking people to donate their sheds as a makeshift shelter for a person on the street WTF.

Just somewhere with a roof and walls to shield from the wind as a overnight only stay would surfice.

Well done to those who did the food bank today, I am sure the people who have to use it will appreciate your efforts.

Top Job!
