Len, i have heard some ignorant, ill thought out opinions in my time, but that one is right up there !

Over several years experience, I worked with probably hundreds of homeless people - not one of them chose that life. I could tell you heartbreaking tales, believe me.

Nobody sets out to f*** their life up - bad things happen to good people, people make bad decisions and lives can quickly spiral out of control. I know a mentally ill young man who recently had his benefit sanctioned for 4 weeks.........for being 10 minutes late for a Job Centre appointment ! How is he supposed to feed himself, pay his bills and so on ? I knew another chap who went home and found his wife with another fella. He packed a bag, walked out and slept on a mate's sofa. When he outstayed his welcome, he found himself on the streets and lost his job, as a result. How do you climb back from that ?

I heard an item on the radio awhile back that said almost 2 million adults in this country have less than £500 savings. The number of people having to resort to food banks is at alarming levels. There is a hell of a lot of people out there who are only a couple of mishaps away from calamity...........

Instead of looking down your nose at them, have a little compassion...........and hope it never happens to you !

 

Rant over, and I shall bow gracefully out of this thread........
