They’re also politically engaged which for 25, 22 and 18 year olds makes me pretty proud

The one who bought another buy to let property will be delighted when the commie tit hypnotist rips them away. Luckily the majority won't be so daft as to vote for them so it's easy to vote 'principled' without having to worry.They’re more principled than me and want a principled approach to a sustainable future
Just hearing some stats listening to ex army and prisoners it’s pretty horrendousPretty disgraceful this
UK deaths of 1,611 homeless people in 2024 is record high
Most are linked to suicide or drugs, with spice and nitazines increasingly deadly.www.bbc.co.uk
Hence why most young people don’t engage with politics cause the grown ups know better eh ffsThe one who bought another buy to let property will be delighted when the commie tit hypnotist rips them away.

Homelessness is common but it isn’t normalJust hearing some stats listening to ex army and prisoners it’s pretty horrendous
But hey it’s those on the boats fault and Islam
71% of prisoners released without accommodation reoffend within 12 monthsHomelessness is common but it isn’t normal
71% of prisoners released without accommodation reoffend within 12 months
19% reoffend with accommodation
Madness
Not if they live in constituencies where the Greens can win.
I don’t see them losing the constituencies they gained at the last election, mostly in very left wing areas with lots of dissatisfaction at the Labour Party.I can’t see them doing very well with the nutjob they have in charge now
The stats are the stats my friendThey would probably re offend anyway to get money for the drugs they got heavily addicted to whilst inside prison.
The biggest scandal is I think prisons are just far too easy to get drugs into. Part of me thinks they are not bothered as a prisoners are easier to deal with if they’re getting high.
Well that's a few wasted votes. Might as well take the ballot paper home and wipe your arse on it.

To be honest, I'm surprised the re-offending rate is that low. If you're homeless you've got very little support, and even less chance of getting a job.
It's an open door into crappy low level crime like shoplifting and theft, and drugs and alcoholism of course. Just locking people up to put them back into the same cycle a few months or year or so later is madness. Expensive too.

If that’s true it’s pretty incredibleI don't want to talk about something I have little knowledge (it's never stopped me before). A friend of mine worked with the homeless and the amount of people that refused accommodation or refused any sort of help blew her mind. She said they earn more money begging on the streets and they get more freedom too.
That's pretty horrific. Seems like homeless people are often forgotten about and its a problem that's certainly getting worse.Pretty disgraceful this

Beggars in London with a decent spot make an average of 250 to 300 quid a day.If that’s true it’s pretty incredible
I don’t think anyone should be homeless unless by choice. Though if it is more profitable to be on the street, that’s shocking in itselfThat's pretty horrific. Seems like homeless people are often forgotten about and its a problem that's certainly getting worse.

Similar to his sucking up to Trump in America. 25% tariffs there.Starmers claim to have negotiated the uk closer to Europe going well

We keep getting told our welfare system is too hrbtoid) generous and too easy to game, leading to all these people coming over on boats to live a life of luxury and handouts. Now we're saying people are better off living on the streets. I can't keep up!
In a strange way there is probably more of a sense of community living on the streets with others. Definitely appears that way in Manchester.it’s to do with being institutionalised into a way of living it’s pretty obvious if you can actually be bothered to think about it
Pretty dystopian thing to be institutionalised into, and a sad state of affairs.It is possible to be institutionalised into it. Even the bbc article says many of the deaths occur in temporary accommodation. Same as prison.

Probably true to an extent. Most of it will staff taking them in as well and let’s face it, there’s hardly a queue of people looking to do the job.They would probably re offend anyway to get money for the drugs they got heavily addicted to whilst inside prison.

A childhood friend of mine became homeless a few years ago after getting addicted to heroin over 10 years ago. When we were in contact he turned down multiple attempts to help him from authorities and even us giving him money on the condition he gave you drugs.I don't want to talk about something I have little knowledge (it's never stopped me before).

Just to check, there's no one here conflating professional begging with homelessness is there?
Or saying that homelessness, at least for the vast majority of people who find themselves in that situation, is a lifestyle choice?
That would seem to be a remarkably unsympathetic approach to a genuine problem.
