It’s not fair, is it?

[Knave of Hearts]

"Ill gotten gains". Trying to teach you the economics of the education system whereby you have to be paid for 52 weeks of the year but can only charge for working 36 of them would be lost on you. Do you honestly believe that all those getting furlough actually 'needed' it to live day to day? You pillock. EVERYBODY on furlough took money for work they weren't going to do. I did the same, tucked mine away and spent it later on cars, holidays and other frivolous things - who wouldn’t? Luvly jubly.

Correction, "for work they couldn't do due to Covid.

Does anyone else think it's not fair that Highwayman has been banned from the 'it's not fair' thread?

Shouldn't it depend on what he's done wrong, not on fairness? Or because you agree with his pro-Israeli sentiments?
Would yo ufeel the same if I was excluded from a thread?

There are organisations whose raison d'etre is to offer long term support to veterans.

SSAFA, The Royal British Legion, Stoll, and Veterans Aid,
If veterans need help urgently they can phone Veterans' Gateway (0808 802 1212) or the Veterans Aid helpline (0800 012 6867) for advice and to find a place to stay.

Didn't ask for any info from you but whatever....

After you saying you would put illegal immigrants before homeless people its hard to reply to you.....

But I do....

If Mottie cared about the homeless, he would not be supporting a free market libertarian like Farage…who would make poverty worse

No I was suggesting that we shouldn't, that ok with you?

That's fine by me, and I suspect most of all the others in this forum.
But it's like me saying we should provide more funding for education. It's a given, it's superfluous because it doesn't need suggesting. It already, very nearly, enjoys universal support.

But when something is suggested in ignorance, (and you don't seem to be aware of the help that already exists for veterans) it becomes not only superfluous, because it is suggested from a position of ignorance, your suggestion becomes laughable.
If I suggested it would be a good idea to provide a bin for recycling and one for other rubbish, I'd be laughed at because it already exists (except in Birmingham ).

That's fine by me

I'm so glad, I was going dizzy waiting for you approval

The government already provides funding to assist homeless veterans through the Reducing Veteran Homelessness programme.
The government can and do uplift this funding regularly depending on need.
But none of it, not one penny is diverted to provide asylum seekers accommodation. The funding is allocated to Trusts that operate on behalf of the government and the homeless veterans.

The government also have a legal duty to provide accommodation to asylum seekers.
The government cannot avoid this legal duty. They can and do choose the level, location and duration of that accommodation.
This is delivered via private contractors.

So the funding is separate and distinct. It isn't about a choice between one or the other, they are funded separately.

And if homeless veterans need urgent assistance, I have already provided the help line, which you, and all the other misguided bigots, have significantly failed to do.

If you want to help the homeless veterans tell them what support is already available, and don't use them as pawns in your bigoted argument against asylum seekers.

Your comment deserves to be ignored due to your false and perfidious accusation.

Here's another:
Why don't you write to the Trust and raise your concerns that asylum seekers are given priority over homeless veterans.

Raising a concern​
