Why so many homeless people in the UK? turning into a 3rd world country

I use to think this. Came across a very nice bloke about 4-5 times (walk same way to work everyday) and even when i never had change he'd always wish me well. But then i realised he was using all the money on drugs rather than food. But i'm finding it harder to just ignore the situation as the amount are just growing year on year. Seen a guy without trousers just walking through town, clearly had a mental illness of some sort.

I have never seen a black or an asian Homeless. Any ideal why that might be?

Yep, I think it's the same; I gave the bloke some food and just chatted random stuff like where he's from and such. Somehow, I knew that if I gave him money, he'd be using it for something that I won't necessarily agree on.

I walk through town and at least 4 people ask me for "change". What's going on? thought we had an adequate welfare system.

A lot of landlords don't accept DSS and councils are useless.

I could slap say the same. What's so unreasonable, the assumptions, the generalisation of vulnerable people, the total ignorance the much bigger picture.

I specifically said in my area, by which I meant the few surrounding streets. I'm ok with my comments for those streets, because I've passed by them enough to have a good idea.

Edit: Also I don't believe there is one underlying cause that's causing people to be homeless. Everyone's got a different reason. But there are some that you can group together, e.g. some people because they're escaping abuse, some because they're mentally ill and don't know how to access the help they need, some are on drugs, and some are immigrants from abroad who haven't got the language skills or financial security to support themselves. And obviously a lot of areas overlap, e.g. those who have been abused and have a mental illness. I'm just tell you what's at my street corners.

Not really they will be looked after. Most the people i come across are white not sure if they are european immigrants but they speak good english. Most likely drug/alcohol dependency however that's been the case for years. The amount i'm coming across now is crazy. Surely more needs to be done. I've seen people handing out food but it's not enough when the weather will turn soon.

Sure, they will be looked after. What about our own homeless.

They are mostly Eastern Europeans begging outside shops and sleeping rough. This is a reason why
they should be banned from entering the UK if they don't have a job lined up.
We should be like Australia, if they don't have some special skills then sorry they shouldn't be allowed to enter the country, Why should the gov give them a house, benefits and money after only being here for 3 months, the hospitals can't cope, schools are full up. Most can't speak English, almost always they will have an interpreter right there in my local GP

This has to be some GCSE argument here. Many countries don't follow nationalistic doctrines any more. All we care about is economic productivity. Do you read the daily mail?

Being homeless clearly shows you have some sort of mental illness, addiction or simply don't want to be apart of society. Having hard working refugees travel half way across Europe. These are the people we need.

Most i came across definitely seem'd like normal brits and spoke great english? .

Lol so you're saying refugees deserve to be helped but our own homeless don't, because they deserve to be homeless? If you're not trolling you need to get your head checked mate, that's sick.
