Because they are cheap to make and people these days love watching bullshit. And the more someone suffers the more people watch.

But yeah let's make a point that doesn't exist.

Of course it's got nothing to do with the migrants working here for peanuts though as the wage In the country they should be in is ridiculously low? Undercutting our own workers?
A born and bred worker here cant have any kind of quality of life working for £3/£4 an hour. The migrants will and employers will exploit them. How many do they sleep in a bedroom in these hmo's? 10/15?
Doesn't matter though does it as they've got one up on your own you fucking hypocrite.

Not really, it’s pretty easy to track the costs of healthcare, arrests and the like. The point is not to give people a free ride but to get them on their feet and with a realistic chance of contributing to society. Leaving people to fester on the street doesn’t work out for anybody.

Not everyone becomes homeless by being a waste of space as you seem to assume

Not everybody wants to contribute positively to society either. What would you do with them?

by your logic people would police the streets themselves and fix pot holes in the streets themselves when government fails, which is as you are aware a nonsensical idea.
And the withdrawal of benefits is pretty conclusive in the deaths of those examples I've given and the coroner cited the work assessment as the direct cause in the inquest of poor fella who took his own life though you'll still argue against it.
Have a good boxing day.

Im not arguing the terrible outcome, not arguing the change to his benefits impacted either. I am arguing that to blame austerity directly for everything you take issue with because of lack of funding (or misuse of) is as ludicrous as all the arguments you & others have made about people blaming the EU for everything!

Nope, what you describe is exploitation/slavery which I too am against. For legitimate work however, we have something the called the minimum wage. The premise of a capitalist society is one in which the most suitable workers are selected for whatever salary an employer wishes to pay them. If Britain wants to benefit from that kind of society, then it must be prepared to accept the means through which this works. Otherwise, you should direct your anger towards employers - after all, it is they who have decided that they'd rather employ 'bloody foreigners'.

But they DO NOT say austerity is the cause of more people becoming homeless. Most recently, uncertainty bought about by denial over & delay of Brexit has created so much turmoil THAT could be blamed, you could blame relaxed border controls & poor implementation of EU &/or UK border laws from 1995 or 1980 if you choose. What you ARE choosing is to blame austerity...& I strongly suspect you're doing it simply because it was Tory led!

I didn't blame austerity for everything which is why I agreed with Grendel that the report that came up with the deaths from austerity figure of 130,000 was flawed.
However, if it's 1 percent of those deaths, it's too many in an economy as rich as ours.
Obviously deaths through changes to benefits is only one aspect of austerity. Crime has increased in line with cuts to police services and NHS targets have been missed in conjunction with cuts to funding. I think it's fair to say austerity bears quite a bit of the responsibility.

So you’re lumping tax paying skilled and unskilled working migrants into those entering the country illegally, wow that’s a surprise.

They’re probably able to grasp the difficult English language concept of ‘should have’ though.

It's just odd that you vent your spleen at foreigners coming to earn fuck all and not at the illegal employers willing to pay below the minimum wage and dodge work place regulations. The dude scrambling across the continent to try and earn more money isn't your enemy.

This government. No. But then why would they. People of merit who understand the statistics and the reasoning, absolutely. Homelessness in the true sense of rough sleepers is the thin end of the wedge and the each time you go back a step the problem gets worse and worse and it all stems from the pinch on welfare. There’s people like Fransham and Dorling who have written extensively on the subject. Look them up and educate yourself.

Again. This is one single aspect we’re talking about here as a consequence of austerity.

They might support a low wage policy, but realistically few employers would pay workers more if they had a choice not to.

The corollary of the accusation that foreigners are willing to work at piss poor rates is also basically an admission that some 'born and bred' guys have a crap attitude to work as they are not willing to work at such rates.
