Totally agree. I focussed on homelessness as part of my policy degree and it’s an absolute scandal how the Tories politicised housing in the worst possible way of a bribe essentially meaning those that could snapped up good quality council housing at heavily discounted rates. There was even tales of relatives purchasing properties ‘on behalf of’ their grandparents in desirable areas of London and made an absolute killing as they eventually sold them on. Social housing was meant to be a safety net for the most economically vulnerable whilst you tried to improve your lot and then could move into private rented or their own home so freeing up a certain percentage for the youngsters and families coming up the chain. I honestly am amazes this ‘homes for votes’ was even allowed. It’s both heartbreaking when you consider the repercussions and state of social housing now. Absolutely scandalous.

The root of the problem is the 'Welfare State'. It strips you of self reliance, respect and encourages laziness. When you give something for nothing on a continual basis the desire to change one's situation diminishes.

I teach a class for desperately poor women so they can learn how to put food on the table and shoes on their children's feet. I'm thoroughly nonjudgmental in my classroom, but I'll tell you from experience that if my pupil has money for body piercings, she has money for dish soap. If this family's home is a rental, the government needs to step in and make the landlord bring it up to code. If they own that home, they need to sell it and move to something less dangerous. I'm a senior citizen living on a poverty-level Social Security income since The Crash of 2008, so I know what I'm talking about. Poverty can hit just about anyone, but the keys to overcoming it are adaptability, perseverance, and a personal sense of industry. Don't call me a snob; my mission is to encourage the disadvantaged to do better.

Bless this woman. Depression is the excuse. Even as a teen, never in my life would I have allowed my family to live in those conditions. This is something beyond my understanding, I guess...

I always loved living in Blackpool when I was living in Lancashire. It made me so sad that elderly ladies didn't have enough money and sat in McDonalds all day with a coffee for the warmth.

Hello, in many parts of Northern England there are very few jobs due to de-industrialisation in the 70's/80's which leaves communities in generational cycles of perpetual poverty. Northerners are proud folk - we are not work shy.

Here we go with the anxiety and mental health stuff, In the day you'd be told to get a grip and man up, now its all cotton wool and ' i can't work as i have anxiety' funny how the anxiety only affects working and not going the pub, hairdressers, tattoo shop etc

It's a good job all the 16yr olds that went to war so we could have our freedom didn't suffer from anxiety. Thanks Raa for your input, where does it say in the worlds handbook that as time goes by we must all bow to these made up work shy conditions?

You are right in so much as, it is disgusting that people in this country are forced to live in these conditions. England is one of the richest countries in the world. But it isn’t the money given to help “ the boat ppl” or the undeserving poor, or the immigrants- it is the fact that our laws are there to help, the landlords instead of the tenants, the wealthy instead of the poorest. Our government and our media like to divide the poor into deserving and undeserving - anyone who is unable to support themselves and their families needs help. Perhaps if the establishment where to, pocket less ( tax breaks to big companies and rich ppl) and use the law to stop exploitative and unscrupulous landlords and employers there wouldn’t be the need for this lovely kind hard working lady to have to work so hard. The poor and the needy need our help. What they do not need is for us argue amongst ourselves over who needs or deserves that help.
