Homeless people can and do have means of support, even somewhere to stay in some cases. I see. So it a crime to be homeless and friendless. Awesome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTeapot Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 I just have a major problem with the way poor - and obviously poor - people are dealt with in society, its fucking shit and we should all try do better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well soon normal working people won’t be able to park their vans in the street so deporting the homeless seems to be consistent with the IOM our government seems to want to create. A very tidy middle class place where very important government workers aren’t forced to witness the horror of a white Transit parked outside their gate or a poor person asking them for money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won’t disagree. And the causes and consequences of homelessness are many, varied, and complex. And I agree that everyone has the entitlement to an income on which they can survive and permanent affordable decent accommodation. We live in a broken dysfunctional society. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passing Time Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 There was an interesting interview on GMB this morning with Dave Fishwick. This is a guy who supports his community and says this is what all major banks should be doing. I won't hold my breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate comes soon after it’s always the weak ones they hate though, not the powerful Note, the post on your feed didn’t say, ‘I hate huge huge organisations who line the pockets of their shareholders by increasing prices for basic goods and utilities that many struggle to afford. No. It’s the beggars they hate. Edited July 28, 2023 by Roxanne Change wake to weak. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate. Beggars in the guise of exploitation/people trafficking/organised crime should be hated ... for many reasons. Unfortunately if trafficking gangs see a chink in our amour and get a hold there is no happy ending for anybody. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 We don't know that these Romanians were trafficked or exploited, they be 'entrepreneurs', or desperate ? Of course I didn't see them, they may have been in Armani suits or rags or worse still, nylon football togs!!! Either way , no need to hound the poor buggers in law or on here?

I think we do know that Romanian gangs are well known for this type of exploitation. Encouraging/allowing it benefits nobody...except those running the gangs Edited July 28, 2023 by daisy added the last 5 words 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
