I think we would be stepping over one every 10 paces if that were the case. https://www.homeless.org.uk/facts/homelessness-in-numbers/rough-sleeping/rough-sleeping-explore-data We should always strive to do better though.

This is a Labour shadow minister (Dawn Butler) talking about Labour's grasp on homelessness. Fills you with confidence doesn't it. I wonder how they managed to lose the election?

If shelter is saying 320000 people are sleeping rough then that’s bull shite. There may be that many who don’t have a home and rely on sheltered accommodation, but there aren’t that many actually sleeping rough in the streets and parks. You are beginning to sound like Labour’s Dawn Buttler. You...

I’m not saying it is down to BoJo or his cronies. What I am saying is that things are not worse here than in the wider EU. In many ways, our standards are higher and our facilities are better. Now considering that only one Labour MP has won an election in the last 45 years............

No, I’m still in favour of remaining part of the EU. I think leaving is a mistake. The U.K. is a far better place than France if you are vulnerable, poorly, foreign, or have any requirements to interact with authorities. Their food chain is disgusting too. I don’t think the U.K. has a homeless...

‘It’s a valid question. I think that if you went to live in France for example, you would want to return to England pretty quickly. I speak from first hand experience when I say their general food shopping is appalling. supermarkets smell unclean and i believe the food they sell is of a lower...

‘That’s the spirit. Greece and Italy will be delighted when Albania join the EU. It will solve their under population problems overnight.

You never know.

I actually think that is spot on. I was quoting Boris Johnson. Not sure if those were his exact words, I was just trying to imagine how he would phrase it.

There is no Leave or Remain, we must now come together in a spirit of unity, have open minds and a willingness to progress.

I agree. Labour needs a line up of bright sparks in their shop window. It doesn't matter if they are posh or educated, they need clever thinkers who represent ordinary working population and their aspirations. The current miserable line up seems to be a kind of Frankenstein's monster made up of...

I thought Labour were supposed to be the political arm of the unions. It's up to Labour and the Unions to get working people on their side. That's their job and why they exist. They seem to be doing everything but that at the moment, thus making Conservatives more appealing to workers and a...

Employment rights need a body to enforce them and that body is the unions. The unions are absent, they have drifted off and become fixated on anti-Tory campaigning. I’ve mentioned before that my wife needed UNISON to support her with an employment issue. They were totally disinterested to the...

Just saying that it’s not unreasonable to expect people to identify themselves at a polling station. Why could anyone object to that? Unless of course they are 35th Mr Tghjksdbeazxm from 2 Accia Avenue voting for labour.

I’m liking the idea of making it mandatory to provide photographic ID before being allowed to vote in an election. Good move.

Nothing has changed. Workers rights today are the same as they were last week, so they have not been trashed. They may or may not be trashed in the future, but that hasn’t happened, yet.

I was just pointing out that no workers rights have been trashed, as OG put it. I know it’s racist of me to highlight this, but it’s true.

I’m intrigued to know how the chinless Matt Hand Cock is going to “enforce compulsory flu vaccination” on ALL of his NHS Staff. Will he have vaccination squads, dressed like Nazi Concentration Camp Doctors who chase people down, apply restraints and then stick needles into them? Or will he go...

Thank you for your kind words. Merry Christmas. I still love you.

So, no workers rights have been abolished. But a change has been made whereby workers rights COULD be adjusted, as has always been the case, but the final arbiter on fairness of any such adjustments will be the U.K., and not the EU. Not quite what you initially wrote, I think you applied a bit...
