[@skdkskdk]

Let's not get overexcited. These people are usually ignorant fools from ignorant foolish families that need the money while smart Thatcher, Blair etc sit in their offices recruiting cannon fodder. The UK does not have adequate housing for all, but it does have benefits for all, so he obviously mishandled several things during his breakdown, and even more things before the breakdown to be left without even a bank address, no UK friends or family to accommodate him with a postal address basically. Finally, I am a bit worried he did not state the obvious "I need 25 pounds to get my photo ID back", considering the photo ID should be enough to get him some banking facilities and the gov money.

Well done. I have slept on a cold sidewalk of a condemned building in Portland. The cold is unbelievable, and you wake up from your teeth chattering and your body being so cold it hurts. The river there is close by, just like this man has to endure. My prayers are with him and all those like him. There is zero need for anyone to be homeless, nor hungry in this entire world. It is a disgrace that no one wishes to change, nor truly address. Thank you for your work. Yahuah bless you, and us all. Sharing with a friend of mine in the U.K. with this one. Disabled U.S. veteran myself. A lot of homeless in U.S. are also veterans, throw away people by the country they served and protected, putting their lives on the line.
