The homeless on the rise in England?

The homeless are on the rise in the United Kingdom. I know the United States has a horrendous problem with homeless people as proper welfare only last six months and if you don’t take a menial job thereafter you are on the street pushing a shopping trolley full of empty cans and bottles. In the United Kingdom you can stay on welfare much longer and the government will pay most of your rent and stuff but in the last 5 years we are moving away from that and you are expected to look for work every hour of the non working day if unemployed and if you don’t you could lose your welfare. Most people unemployed of working age tend not to be lazy but just can’t function in the work place or are caring for another are relative. If you have some sort of mental illness and can’t deal with interviews and employment it’s no surprise we started to see more of those people evicted and on the street. Half of all sleeping rough people here are mentally ill. There is bed for everyone in the major city hostels but they simply can’t deal with that lifestyle either and end up preferring the community of the street. If you have a drug or alcohol addiction you will find it hard to be allowed to stay in a hostel bed, which seems a rather contradictory policy as that’s 90% of your customers. There are no doubt in most people’s minds here that government policy has increased the homeless population. We all agree people should work if they are able but everyone unemployed got snared in the attack on the jobless and 10,000 more unemployed people between 2010-2016 killed themselves than normally would during that harsh welfare clampdown. There is no doubt in my mind the Conservative government vectored in those deaths as a ‘saving’ of public money they were that cynical with the policy. Even people with degenerative illnesses, physical and mental, were taken of sickness pay and made to look for work. A big chunk of London’s homeless are not born in the United Kingdom. Since 2004 when the European Union expanded and Britain brainlessly allowed free movement of people to come and live and work here with little or no border checks thousand s of Eastern Europeans pitched up in London to beg and work. Romanian and Bulgaria organised crime groups flooded the streets with teams of female beggars whilst their men worked as pickpockets on the transport system. They are still thee now sleeping rough in the city, many outside famous London monuments. Come Brexit we can kick them all out. Other more honest East Europeans were coming to work in London but a small group decided to live in tents to maximise their return on those wages by not paying any rent but making the homeless problem look worse than it is.
