If you Newcastle council didn't all the students have all this accommodation In Newcastle and help people living and build properties for them would be a start in just bad in Gateshead as well there another selfish council

[@TynesideLife]

These homeless folk have in one way or another pressed there own self destruct buttons through drug and alcohol abuse, crime, chaotic lifestyles and domestic abuse. Not all but most. You can’t just put them in properties, they’ve had that and ended up in the street. The causes snd answers are deeply complex Andrew and shouldn’t be an excuse to take a swipe at student accommodation

[@Andrew-ck1ob]

It wasn't at the students it's a swipe at Newcastle and Gateshead council look at your video at the lass out mulligans on one of your videos on the streets thanks to council because of rent arrears half if not most of the country are in arrears not Suprised when council rents and rates are increasing constantly to feed the pockets of corrupt mps ,councillors etc etc

The People's Kitchen first opened in 1985 that's 37 years ago and what has changed in that time? Apart from more and more people needing support from the wonderful volunteers it's very sad when you think about it.

The food that gets wasted at this place is shameful, I know because I used to empty the bins here and the waste is shocking 😡

[@RoadRunnerMeep]

That's a very interesting perspective to take, removing drugs as they enter and giving them back. Helps to remain impartial, when they leave it's their choice, but when they enter they want to give them their choice.
