Homeless at Christmas - family life in temporary housing 

Totally agree.

Damn, that's crazy! Why can't you live on your own land?

@@SusanA1056 The Gov is crazy in the UK !

Bush that thought hadn't occurred to devils1trusaxon

I agree, although that doesn't explain why the lady who already had two children and was living in the converted office block in London went ahead and had another child, whilst complaining that the environment was unhealthy for children. Totally irresponsible, in my opinion.

Too true. If you cant even put a half decent roof over your own head then you shouldnt even consider bringing another life into the world. I know mistakes happen but abortion is an option. If welfare was abolished, especially child benefit, then people would get their priorities right. Why should us grafters pick up the bill? Our taxes should be spent on education, the military and infrastructure. No handouts. may sound harsh to all the liberal snowflakes out there but if the government used our taxes in this way then maybe the country would be in better shape.

@@steveodonoghue2772 I agree as well that people shouldn't have kids they can't afford, but like someone said earlier, some people were living a stable life. Then something happened and things went down from there. They had kids already and suddenly couldn't afford to give them a home. It happens unfortunately.

Because it's temporary and not their home.

because its not permanent idiot

They don't even have kitchens. How is that a home?

Usual irresponsible people expecting handouts all the time.....cut their benefits I say

Exactly..always have kids and one on way ?!?

Comfy? No kitchen, no healthy food, bed bugs, cramped spaces, chemicals all over the place, noise levels that are crazy even for a city? Sure.

yet you can afford to surf the net and watch videos? When I have no money I cant afford that because I work and pay taxes through the nose. You don't benefit from these taxes, I dont benefit from working so where is all the money going????? Something is not right!

Intersting Feeds You know there is cafés and free wifi around? It is 2018, not 1995.

well the homeless people I have helped couldn't afford a smart phone or tablet ...........................

That's ridiculous and just another excuse used by lazy people who don't *want* to work. Ashamed? Think it's useless so don't try to work? What utter garbage. Stop making excuses and get off your asses and work. I fully support the benefit system when it's used for the purposes for which it was created: a safety net, help for those too sick or disabled to work, or those who have to care for someone sick or disabled. NOT as the lifestyle choice which most use it for. People simply believe that if they don't want to work then they shouldn't have to. Or that they're better off on benefits. That's why I wholeheartedly supported the benefits cap. There's no way that any family with non working yet fit adults should have a higher income on benefits than a working family. Stop complaining and demanding better housing. You have a roof over your head, so if you want a nicer home, off you go and EARN one.

You can do it! First, make a list of goals. If it's employment, begin looking. You might need a second job. Or, you might like to start taking classes to improve your education. Save every penny. Get help for any social issues if those are your problems. (Alcohol, drugs, mental health.) No shame. You can do it!!!

God? LOL yeah ok

Intersting Feeds who else can save this world where a billion people suffers..but that is my opinion. I belive we have a home in heaven as eternal beings. Homeless is temporary. Dead from this shadow planet

That is exactly what I am saying, low, middle and even high earners all get hammered for taxes, the money seems to simply disappear yet the wealthy grow wealth like you simply would not believe or understand. A very very small portion of people are truly 'wealthy'.99% of the world simply offloads their taxes to the 1% whose wealth grows hourly. We are then made to feel terrible for these poor homeless people and end up forking out even more to charity to help care for them, when, we have already paid for it already via our taxes?

The more immigrants our so called government T.May lets into the UK labour is too they are just as bad as each other with J.Corbyn, there will be very few social houses and more more homeless people about !

@@bevila4753 I can see exactly that happening too.
