I work in a mental health hospital. A while back I encountered a lad on the ward I went to school with. He'd been in and out prison from when we left school some 20 years ago. When he was discharged he would commit offences that he knew would get him sent back to prison. I asked why he wanted to be in prison. "I know the rules there, I know what to expect. I've known nothing else." Essentially the guy had become institutionalised. The only other time I have encountered such levels of institutionalisation is when I cared for people who had been in the old long stay hospitals (asylums essentially) or one woman who I cared for years ago who had been moved around 5 different concentration camps as a child. Even Enoch Powell saw the harm such institutionalisation had done. We can debate all day about the the rights and wrongs of his approach to that, but, at least he recognised a problem. These Tories - and I would argue every neolib from Thatcher onward (inc Blair and Starmer) - fails to see how anybody could turn a profit from it so don't bother. We should be dealing with this because these a people with lives and we should be recognising their humanity. "Evil begins when you start to treat people as things" - Terry Pratchett.
@mityaboy46398 ай бұрын
lets not forget; in prison, while its not a nice experience; you have access to basic amenities. Water, food and shelter. If you are homeless; your chance of getting a job is slim. If you have been incarcerated, its even worse. So then what? you can choose between rough sleeping and being targeted and hurt… or… get back behind bars. Is it ideal? nope. Is it “freeriding” nope. There is no way out beyond just dying on the street… so the best you can do is to get yourself back… and then of course you get yourself adapted to that life, those rules, those norms. Slowly the life in a cell and not in a comfy room in your home does not seem that bad. i mean… compared to sleep on the street in the cold and rain… the fact that there is no way out is the saddest part of it. So now putting homeless people behind bars… well… we will now intentionally put them on the same path… not helping them… but to turn them into criminals… and the cost of all that is now 100% the tax payers… which is ironic because this government seems to be dead set on cutting benefits for everyone… and yet we are going to create the most expensive one because you smell. note: being in prison is not a benefit, but we could pay for these people’s housing and some … and it would be still cheaper than keeping them locked away… “noone is left behind” (aka; you all go to jail)

Plenty empty houses that a quick fix up could house a good amount of homeless people. Have some donations to pay for their water bill so they can have a shower and a working toilet and there you go.

I sympathise with all that you said except your incorrect statement that Blair brought in Care in the Community. The Care In The Community Act was voted through Parliament in 1990 (not sure if it was in Thatcher's or Major's time as PM - Major replaced Thatcher in 1990) and it was implemented in 1993 under Major, four years before Labour were voted in. That said, Blair didn't repeal or improve it significantly.

I live in a monarchy, and am usually with you on the 'don't they have enough money already?' side. However this queen reigned a commonwealth of over 50 countries for more than 70 years. Assuming your figure of $ 200 million is correct, that's about £ 165 million. So about 2,5 pounds per Briton, or about 4 pounds per supporter of the monarchy. Imo that's acceptable, as I see this as the single most positive moment / gathering of the last decade with regard to British standing or influence in the world. Many foreigners love British Royalty, so this might actually be a pretty good investment.

The Netherlands has 180 homeless people per 100.000 inhabitants. On a population of 17,8 million people, that's about 32.000 people. And that includes various groups of people without their own homes. People who sleep outside or in a car, squatters, people who sleep in shelters, even people without their own home, who are temporarily living with family or friends. You still sometimes see some poor man or woman sleeping under a viaduct, but generally I think we have it fairly well-handled here. And whilst it's getting harder to find a home because there's just not enough room to build homes (unless we shrink our farming sector...), we are making it work for the most part. The UK has 561 homeless people per 100.000 inhabitants. On a population of 67,5 million people, that's about 378.000 people. And whilst part of that is due to the higher population, the rate is also more than 3x as high. If the rates were the same, that would amount to 120.500 homeless people. As someone who's been homeless and has had friends who have been homeless, my tip is don't look down on homeless people. You never know what landed them in that situation. Don't generalize them as criminals and drug addicts. Because with some twists of misfortune that could've been you and it still might be you at some point in your life, and you wouldn't want people looking down on you either.

From official statistics July to September 2023: The majority of households owed a prevention or relief duty were where the lead applicant was White (64.1%), followed by households where the lead applicant was Black (11.1%) or Asian (7.4%). The number of households owed a prevention or relief duty where the lead applicant was: Belonging to an Other [footnote 1] ethnic group increased by 46.7% to 3,800 households Asian increased by 23.8% to 5,780 Black increased by 16.7% to 8,670 Of Mixed or Multiple ethnic groups increased by 13.9% to 2,710. These statistics should also be compared to ethnic makeup of the population. Which in the UK is 87,1% White, 7% Asian, 3% Black and 2% Mixed. Which means that despite being only 13% of the population, nearly HALF of homeless people are non-white people. Your argument is nonsense and just serves as a tool to push your hateful opinion. If you only want to solve homelessness for white people, then you're a racist. Don't try to subsume my comments under your ideological beliefs. My comments come from a place of love and compassion for my fellow human beings. Have a nice day.

We have Charles Booth's poverty maps of 1889 to thank for moralising about poverty and disadvantage. Setting out to prove poverty was not as bad as some were claiming, he found more poverty in London than had been suggested. However, because there was lots of alcohol use with these impoverished populations, he decided they must have brought this fate upon themselves. No consideration for the fact that people with such difficult lives might be numbing the pain. No proof of cause or correlation, just 'his opinion' and it has stuck.

We actually know about the condition these people are suffering from, neurologically it shows up as shrivelled connections between the amygdala and other brain regions, Frans De Walls research suggests the root cause is likely poor parenting. One has to be careful explaining this to the afflicted, it frightens them and that tends to result in vindictive aggression.
