It’s not fair, is it?

I dont think we should be giving up on war heroes

Me neither. Perhaps if they had the same attitude towards their helpers then folk would not give up on them.

my old Grandad struggled....but he had a big family for support

My entire family (on my Ma's side) were as poor as píss. Life can be a struggle especially if you have members of your family that are addicts and alcoholics and especially if they are abusive.

.....it's heartbreaking

For those that genuinely want/need help and jump through the hoops - yes.

they seemed to welcome the hotel accomadition they were given during lockdown, but that money ran out and is now spent on migrants instead

the homeless often don't use hostels as the are often violent places and some find it safer and more peaceful on the street

Nonsense.

Ive never seen Mottie suggest that the £4b of PPE fraud that the Tories enables couldve been spent on the homeless

I think the government did put all homeless into accomodation of some sort over COVID, wasn't there a record low on the streets then?

Good answer, if only everyone on your side made as much sense....

Still seems wrong to me but I do get ya

"Just bung them a flat and some money" won't work in all cases, any more than "just swap all your single sockets for doubles" will either.

One solution for all won't work.

That could work

"Just bung them a flat and some money

Im not saying that, long term support is what they need and deserve.

F*** em then......

Sadly the funding stopped 2 months later and 75% of the homeless weren’t given permanent places.

Now, it’s alright you saying you care for the poor and I don’t but I’ve shown you just a few examples of what I have actually done for the poor, can you now return the favour and show me some posts where you have actually done something about it yourself?

That’s the best way to put Notch back in his box. Ask him to provide some examples after you’ve provided examples that he's asked for. Works every time.

Notch only ever says the same few things. I've listed his limited repertoire elsewhere.

I haven’t defrauded the taxpayer at all. I, like millions of other employees were entitled to, and took, furlough payments. The fact that I didn't 'need' them has nothing to do with anything at all so shut yer pie hole you Icelandic reject.

Oh look, the ignorant old troll is now denying he took money for work it said it wasn't going to do anyway...

It's now claiming it didn't 'need' the money

It's there with all the other lowlifes from benefit scroungers to high level government fraud...

There's an old word for those parasites enjoying their ill gotten gains from honest people - Spiv!
