Homeless In Cornwall: From £1000 A Week To The Streets

[@rickyjulian496]

I hope Martin manages to find his feet again and doesn't fall into the trap of drugs and alcohol. I can imagine it's easy to get the taste for them on the streets. Easy enough to fall into that one with regular day to day living. Don't give up and accept homelessness as your future. This is just a temporary thing. Some homeless are just plain nasty, bullies and they prey on the weak. I've seen it with my own eyes in the local homeless shelter. Certainly picked a beautiful part of the country to sleep under the stars. Our Homeless need lockers to keep their belongings safe for the day. Perhaps they could then go and get some work. And in winter an area with a roof from the elements and underfloor heating as it costs pence to run. Good luck

I got speaking to a homeless guy in my town, he'd fallen on hard times, parents died when he was younger, fallen through the cracks. Got him some food, offered to take him for a few pints a couple of times (but he refused, not a drinker). Last time I saw him he was really gaunt, some other people had pushed him out of his camp. I got him some food an drink again and I've not seen him for quite a while since. He never asked for money the first time I saw him so I went back and gave him some and spoke to him, next time I saw him I asked him the same things and he was straight. Sadly the scammers begging make us all harder to the plight of the real people who need help. He was called Tom, I doubt he's still around given how I'll he looked the last time I saw him. Puts a lot of things in perspective doesn't it...

[@happydillpickle]

@@Greensleeves1234 Jill, it all depends. To be classified as homeless you don't have to be a rough sleeper: you can be sleeping on someone's sofa or be in temporary accommodation. Also if you are living in a vehicle. There's a lot of hidden homelessness. Me and my kids were homeless for almost a year due to fleeing domestic violence. First, the council told me I was deliberately homeless because I had a home to return to. The same man I spoke to in the council offices had been the one on duty a couple of weeks before when I had taken my ex in there, who had told him that if they didn't find him accommodation, my ex was going to murder me- they didn't even call the police, but surely you'd remember something like that! I think they get numb to it, there are so many in need and there's simply not enough accommodation due to Right to buy and of course population increase. So me and the kids slept on friends' sofas for months, before my friend wrote me an eviction notice which was the ONLY WAY they would put me and my kids in temporary accommodation. I didn't beg because I didn't need to, but some people lose their jobs due to situations like mine, having to flee to a place far away from home to escape violence, or they have their benefits sanctioned because they were unable to get to a job interview or look for work that week. I was one of the lucky ones because I don't drink alcohol, but I can see how easy it would be to drown your sorrows, just to keep warm at night on the streets some people start drinking heavily or using drugs, for the depression and hopelessness. There was an old guy begging who owned his own home, because he had had his disability benefits cut off, which he shouldn't have done, and the jobcentre wouldn't let him sign on because he wasn't well enough to work. He couldn't afford to put his heating on or cook, so he'd beg and go sit in the community centre to warm up. He had no money to put in the meters, but people used to spread rumours about him scrounging - he didn't have a choice.. Universal Credit has been a disaster for people who do seasonal work and self employed people who earn very varying amounts. They apply the "minimum income floor" which presumes you earn the minimum wage at a 35 hour week even when you don't, so many people are becoming homeless because there are weeks when they can't pay their rent so they get behind, when previously they would have been entitled to a top up in housing benefit occasionally, not any more! If business is bad for a couple of months, you are going bankrupt, when previously you would have that safety net until business picked up. They desperately don't want people to be self employed!

I know it's easy to believe that asylum seekers are prioritised over our own but a large percentage of our homeless don't want to be housed and are trapped in a cycle of substance abuse. I work in housing and was a drugs worker for a few years. I'm also a recovering addict. The people we need to be holding to account are the ones who have caused the issue. The billions of pounds spaffed up the wall for Covid. The millions wasted on PPE that wasn't fit for purpose by Matt Hancock. Our so-called Prime Minister made huge profits from shares in the bloody vaccine manufacturer Moderna, yet we are all being pushed to take out our frustrations on migrants. It's a distraction whilst they absolutely decimate the working classes.

One thing that helped is that I retrained and left behind my old job completely. Good luck, I hope things work out for you.

The greatest fear I think I’ve ever had is of being homeless and ending up on the streets. I remember watching “Cathy Come Home” and it suddenly sinking in that there was no such thing as a secure roof over your head, unless you owned that roof - and you could only own it so long as you had a sufficient income and could afford to pay for it. Otherwise, if you fell on hard times, there was no-one who would give a **** about your situation. My mother told me how very difficult it was to secure family housing and that before they finally obtained a council house, there were six of my parents and siblings sleeping in a single room. It is an absolute disgrace that people still have this spectre looming over their heads, in a country as rich as ours.

[@museonfilm8919]

In my home town (in the UK) I've seen the same homeless people for over 15 years, milling around, begging, getting nowhere.

Back in the 70s my parents sold up from the home counties and moved to Cornwall. Then you could buy a six bed mansion for the price of a hc 2 bed semi. Cornwall has always been a low wage economy, largely based on seasonal work. There should be a special council tax rate for second homes set at 200-300% above banding. The higher stamp duty doesn’t deter. And there needs to be a clamp down on council tax avoidance by claiming the property is a commercial let which strangely never gets let so avoids tax on profits.

Hi bud. Glad. I caught this vid, featuring Martin. He seems like a decent guy. Your doing a great job with your filming, 👍 be safe, Ian.

[@KIRSTYVALENTYN]

It's so sad, I was forced out of a job I have had for 4+ years at the height of the lockdown pandemic by an angry bully manager, I had rent and other household bills to pay with only little savings it was a sad time for me, very challenging and mental. I hope it gets better for him and is able to get back to being self-employed am sure he will he is skilled, and it is amazing how tables turn in a flick. Just wish I got his personal contact number (rather donate something to him directly than give it to a charity)

I hope you took him to a tribunal

My wifes a deputy manager at a homeless hostel providing ABENS ( a bed every night) and before that she was a mental health nurse untill she was sacked for refusing the jabs. This is a real issue and luckily for my wife she has a new job and is trying her best to make a difference to those less fortunate and suffering even though she has a number of physical issues and anger at her previous treatment. What i will say is Im proud of her.

One thing that I take from this is when things are going well and you are making decent money make sure you regularly squirrel some away for a rainy day. You never know when things might change.

I lost both my jobs during Covid and I really feel for this man because this could have been me! I am fortunate enough to have close family who helps and supports me and my family in this current situation. Some people don't! Self-employed for 14 years. I am struggling to find work myself, however, I just got a new job as a sales Rep for a large company but with it being commission only I simply can't afford the fuel costs and I'm going to have to leave this amazing job.

God bless you 🙏and please stay in Cornwall, to help people get the help you and they need, especially from the Churches in Cornwall, doing so much to help people in need. Yes,some people are refusing help and this needs looking into ,as this creates problems for the people who are in genuine need and really appreciate the help they are given. What a lovely man, smiling when the world is not smiling with him and so many people, walk on by on the other side of the street.💕 Remember the heritage of Cornwall, of St. Piran a patron Saint of Cornwall and tin miners and Bishop Trelawney, and the 20,000 Cornish men, who cared for the rights of the people, ALL of them in Cornwall.

There was a documentary about how they are installing shower cubicles within the towns for homeless folk. Bit like those public toilets but showers where they can lock the door. Think it was in Manchester. This is not perfect but at least the people can get a freshener and to feel a little bit better. It’s just awful and I hope that much more is done to help.

"Couple of bad rolls away from this happening" YES! That's why we need *need* NEED a robust, welfare and socialised programs that *actually support* people! I've worked in a CAB and some clients *you'd never think* were unemployed or needed help - mainly cos they carry on as they always have, trying to keep up appearances but actually driving themselves deeper and deeper into debt I can't stress enough that it WILL happen to anyone - we have to look after each other, cos one day it will happen to YOU and then you'll wish that socialised assistance were about!

@Daniel, People need jobs, not dependency on a Government hand out. Men are supposed to work to live a good life, but this Communist Government's agenda is to destroy Britain and its people. I trust God not corrupt men in the club, for my needs

Need to remove the flogs in government who cause this to happen. Nobody should face ruin because of bad decisions by people who never face a consequence for it.

[@rmcq1999]

Your robust bloated welfare state is part of the problem, not the solution. It's an incredible burden as is, and you want it expanded? Typical lefty madness. Throw petrol on the fire. What's needed is less government bureaucracy, less spending, less cronyism and more people controlling their economic relations themselves. Sans red tape and sans the grubbing hand of government, taking it's share to dole out to trash social programs, crony contractors and foreign invaders.

Another great insight pal , sad state of affairs really . Unfortunately most people judge straight away that it’s to cover the drink and drugs etc… To be fair if I was sleeping out in the cold elements every night I would be happily off my nut to put it out Mu mind!! This could happy to any one of us at any point. I think another issue in manchester for instance and probably other city locations groups of alleged homeless get dropped off daily and picked up in an evening!!and any food and drink they have been given dumped in the bin Was shocked couple of years ago I saw the first begger in st Ives on one of the side streets not far from wetherspoons….again was a little doubtful as he was sat with a mountain bike worth £2k upwards But never seen anyone do that in st Ives … But again shouldn’t judge that might be all they had since things changed for them… This shouldn’t be happening in this day and age….😢

In a similar boat, my business made me around £5k a month. Covid came along and all my customers had their own problems so business died within about 6 months. Am 49 and have never worked in another company so finding a job is a real struggle for peanuts money. Fortunately my wife makes a decent wage but she could get fed up anytime and I could be in Martin’s position quite easily. Councils, government etc don’t give a crap and we all know the disgusting double standards with these people just rocking up in a dinghy and having everything thrown at them. This whole system is a complete mess, the country is on its knees unless you’re part of the 1%. I’m genuinely worried what the future holds for me.
