End rough sleeping by 2027

Lies, they’re only going to reinforce the problem by cutting more benefits in the future mark my words because they’re under the impression that ppl are “abusing them” just because you’ve qualified for them and want them 😂

Agreed. I am stuggling to think of one policy the Tories introduced that made life better for all.

Rough sleeping will never end as some choose it.

We could drastically reduce it by building a lot of social homes, investing heavily in mental health care, investing in substance rehabilitation centres and lastly social services.

It would cost a lot but I believe at the very least the first three on that list are a priority.

Honestly, I just get confused how the government creates benefits and sets guidelines for who can receive them, then when they see the large number of ppl who fit the guidelines instead of solving the issue they just make them less attainable. I remember someone once told me ppl ‘abuse’ the benefits, but how is one abusing benefits that they are qualified for by guidelines that the government themselves set? Madness.......... just want money. The best part is they say the money will go elsewhere to better places then....... it just evaporates

Agreed. Same with tax. Everyone hates people who avoid tax but given the opportunity everyone will try to avoid paying tax. Entitlement work for the individual but not for society.

If I got a latter tomorrow saying I had to pay a bit more tax to make things a bit better for everyone i'd be pretty happy. It's not everyone.

(Y'know, assuming for a weird second they actually did that)

But similarly, if you could rearrange you affairs so that you were only paying 10% tax compared to roughly 30% perfectly legal I am sure you would have a long hard think.

Depends what type of person you are.

Agreed. However it seems that Thatcher's "There is no such thing as society," has become a self fulfilling prophecy sadly.

Yea, well, not many choose that life mate I have that from a pretty reliable source. However you are correct some simply cannot cope with the complexity of modern life and choose to live in hostels etc.

I hope I'm wrong about the Tories led by Boris Johnson, it's not my political ideal this middle ground low taxation, high public service Tony Blair style unicorn, that this government describes. I hope they prove me wrong, but I doubt it.
