Many people are just not Capable of holding down a job. Not many employers cater for homeless people, mentally challenged, or those with addiction problems. Many ex service people are on the streets. A high proportion of care leavers end up homeless and in the justice system. And of course, just because you are lucky enough to have a job (or even two or three) doesn't mean that you have enough money to live off. I can tell you from experience working full time and still not earning enough being to pay my bills does not give me self worth.
So they can make the rent and pass the 'discount' onto the landlord.
That’s one way of looking at it…but it’s still better that the tenants get the discount surely…or are you advocating that only home owners rather than renters get the money?
Homeless in Teeside how many
How are you going to spend a £400 voucher on a bag of coke? Dealers deal in one currency only.
The £400 is going straight off bills so not sure what point you are making?
If you're struggling to see the point I'm making, then unfortunately I have nothing else to say.
So sorry Teesside. Just shows tho you don’t have to be great at spelling to have a job
I truly feel sorry for the person you are talking about but are you trying to say they all have these type of issues. I have said you can claim for two years then vouchers not saying let people starve but If you want to interpret it that way. I personally would not care which way the help was given to me should I need it just happy that I was helpedIt's also very easy to blame those in receipt of benefits isn't it, as you have done and are trying to justify.
I remember one story of a guy who was, as a child, dragged into a wood and raped. He couldn't ever admit it to his family and became withdrawn resulting eventually in him developing a serious drug problem. Tragically he took his own life. I suppose if he'd only had got a 5 to 7 day a week job to feel some self worth everything would have been fine
You ranted that the £400 should come straight off bills. It is, so what was the point of the rant except to have a go at people less fortunate than yourself?
People like you are the reason this country has gone to the dogs.
Why are you being so aggressive?
What does it matter how many? Should there be a minimum amount of people homeless before someone receives help?
Less fortunate then myself? What on earth are you going on about?
Would you Omega? Would you like to stand in a queue at the checkout and pay for your food in vouchers in full view of other customers. Would you like to pay over the odds for your groceries as the shop would not be allowed to give cash as change and certainly would not have denominations of vouchers. Would you like to be told what you could and could not buy with your vouchers. Some unscrupulous shops would put up their prices for voucher payers.
