Tents ⛺️

[Bod ...]

I see more and more people living in tents ️ these days.
It's all very idyllic and free but it will be tough keeping warm and dry this coming winter.
I don't suppose they have much choice.

Where is this and have you asked them why?

 

[Bod ...]

I Generally don't see them. I assume they are at work.

Welcome to Tory Britain

no council houses
no social services
no mental health services
terrible inequality

= no safety net


millions of people are just 3 pay cheques from being homeless


mind you none of the above is true, if people can’t afford to live they should just go and get a better job, the good for nufink scroungers

Where should all this be built?

Leafy Surrey villages?

or​

Overcrowded nowhere to park towns?

There used to be a guy who lived in a tent among the undergrowth of a large roundabout running under the A14 in BSE. He had been there for over 5 years, kept himself to himself, did farm work during the spring and summer, which earned him some money and was usually fed and watered by the farmers. When the season came to an end, the money he had earned helped to see him through the winter. He even had mail delivered to his tent as the area has a postcode!
About 2 years ago someone did a piece on him in a local paper. A businessman in the area read it, went and had a chat with him, discovered he was an engineer by trade but had fallen on hard times after a messy divorce. He offered him a probationary job over the winter and, if he was as good as his certificates said he should be, he would keep him on. He is now team leader for a farming equipment supplier dealing with huge farming machinery throughout East Anglia.

Let's hope his ex didn't find out, and try to get a second helping
