The House of Cards graphic was possibly the least effective visual aid ever.

The handy camera 😂😂😂

Finally found this. I happened to see it on TV when i was young. I always remember Scouse getting angry over the selling of cigarettes and then the Dickensian hotel.

Making out to be sympathetic to the homeless as soon as he becomes mp puts working people , children , elderly into poverty

Dry whitt Londoners.

Dirty jews

Way before this Nationwide in 1981 made a series called Down & Out where one of its reporters Tony Wilkinson, using the alias Tony Crabbe lived as a down & out for a month. It was really well done I thought & it had a profound affect on me, which I've never forgotten. The conditions he lived in were awful almost Dickensian. It was repeated in 1982 but Ive never seen any footage of it since. I still have copy of the book that accompanied it, which is well worth reading. I wonder if anyone has any footage of it? I've not seen any anywhere sadly.

Fukin dickhead hasnt a clue what its really like to be homeless with nothing. Knowing you can go back to a warm house soon after is easy for anybody to do. What a completely useless waste of time this is.

They wonder why people have mental health issies

So when you get the working classes detesting people who claim benefits you only have to look at the type of people claiming and they take nothing out of your pockets politicians do the thieving not them nothing had changed in the decades this was filmed

Charge a pound a cig.

Omg the job centre looks like a bombshell 🫣

Couts bank that says it all lol!

The benefits system is hugely frustrating.

I remember this programme. Not all the details, but it's good to see it again. I will watch part 3 next time I got some time. Watching this, I can only think, if it was bad then in the 90's, what's the level of homelessness now, when most people are struggling to live, apart from the rich. Even middle income families are struggling, which can only mean more people that are on low incomes and were on the edge of losing their rented accommodation from struggling to find the rent, etc are now homeless or being pushed off the edge in to homelessness and even charities that were once there to help them are themselves struggling or have shut down. It's a terrible situation.

We'll what a shame they knocked the salvation army down that's why many people are competing for a dry warm space to rest there souls rip uk

Yeah it's crazy it start off so meaningful then he start grassing people up shame

11:53 Hey....iIt's Charles Manson !

Well it’s a good job that he had £30 in his pocket then en it, most people on the streets get nothing, absolutely nothing and when his weeks over he can go back home and write about his ordeal on the streets, again other people don’t get that chance do they?

Haha 😂 i went to saint martins and the field and I ended up in bow street police station so much for their charity, mind you I was very young that’s why they called the police. This guys getting pushed from pillar to post through the benefits system, it’s a good job that when his week of staying on the streets is over, he’s got a home to go to, unbelievable.

It’s okay for this guy, he knows that he only has to endure it for a week, and then he knows he’ll back at home eating good food and everything else that goes with a home, so does he really care? I doubt it for one minute.

Wtf is the scouser talking about, next thing he's begging, if someone just slapped the clown 🤡 he'd bottle it 😳 pure bully what a piece of work.

Dirty bastard tories

Typical scouser running his lips 💋

26yr old? And left the army? Couldn't cut the mustard more like it. Fecking fraud

THERE IS A SLUM LANDLORD IN BOURNEMOUTH WHO IN 2022 RECIEVED 5 MILLION POUNDS IN HOUSING BENEFIT SHAMELESS EXPLOITERS

LAND SHARKS =BANKS,ESTATE AGENTS, MOST LANDLORDS, SPECULATORS SHAME ON YOU, I,M NOT A LEFTY BUT MAYBE ANYONE WHO OWNS MORE THAN TWO PROPERTIES, SHOULD BE SUPER TAXED ONE THE THIRD OR MORE PROPERTIES, AND PIGS MIGHT FLY!!!

Truly shocking, all you so called professionals hang your head in shame..

Lots of people on here criticising this chap who went onto become a Tory MP & did nothing. When will people take personal responsibility for their life choices? If you know what you want & ask for help you will be put in touch with someone who can help advise you. Sitting around & expecting a regular hand out is never going to work long term.

A year to get a council house LOL I noticed the dole office would actually phone up jobs for you to arrange interviews.

This is really interesting, I wonder if things are any better today!

Shocking about how the police don't take him to the station and figure out a way to get help.

Even by 1991 surely the government offices could have just faxed a document from one to another rather than all the back and forth by foot. Obviously, that wasn't the case.

Terrible way to live I used to work for a slumlord even thinking about them days makes me feel dirty. We robbed him of 7000gin 84 lot of money then. And to this day Imglad we robbed him.

Typical tory, trying to flog ciggies to the homeless mate

I would of knocked that scouse cnt right out for him mouthy twat having a go jus for selling cigs I've been homeless before and it brings out survival mode I've always had good jobs worked and had nice things driving nice cars so was a shock to the system when I become homeless had few fights one funny one an Irish ira wannabe telling me whilst I was sleeping that I'm in his spot intimidating me put his hands on me and I was scared but I reacted quick headbutted him so yeah he got a nice Barnsley kiss took his nut right off he shat himself was a real prick singing ira songs so I wanted to punch him for ages My mate who was also homeless an old squadie who did 10 years in the paras was made up when I told him who I cracked lol

Who would leave a cushy life to experience all that hell I bloody wouldn't lol well done for bringing awareness to this issue, although things are worse now fresh off the boat immigrants are the only ones who get hotels now homeless brits(regardless of race) get nothing. What a state the country has become.

This is embarrassing. He’s so obviously not a vagrant. All groomed and posh. It’s utterly ridiculous.

Clarence Rook, The Hooligan Nights, 1899. Exactly the same.

They all sound like your uncaring leading the whitch they called Thatcher. "There's no such thing as Socialism" , her very words.

Amazing documentation! Please upload the part 2.

Posh rich Tory boy voluntarily experiencing life of homelessness and poverty for few days and yet doing nothing to end such homelessness despite his conservative Party and political buddies have been in government over a decade.
