It's a damming indictment of our country how we treat our former serving soldiers, how some of them are just left to rot on the streets with nobody prepared to help them yet here we are hand wringing about a load of waifs and strays who haven't done anything for this country but we've got people demanding these people be let in and housed. Let's look after our own first, we have more of a duty to them than we do those in Calais.

What the left wing 'Independent' newspaper?

And all these victims of Capitalism are fighting their way to Socialist countries are they? Queuing up to get into North Korea and Cuba, or milder Socialist countries like France? Why aren't those from 'former Communist countries' staying where they are to build another Socialist Utopia?

Umm,Danny,clear the prejudice from your eyes,mate.

Boring and dim.

Most of your post is like someone who hasn't read what I actually wrote but glances at it,makes some knee jerk assumptions and and goes off on a rant about migrants and the Labout Party..

Take an example.You say:

"You talk about assumptions? like the one you make that every single immigrant running around in Nike airs bricking lorrys and ripping down fences is a poor unfortunate, who if returned to his home land, would be immediately beheaded in front of his friends and family"

Answer my question try not to belittle it, just answer it.

Quite where I wrote that,other than in your imagination,is a mystery.Its not what I think,but don't let reality interfere with your knee jerk reactions.The same imagination that thinks I accused you of being an out and out racist.

No again, what I said was I think you'd like to call me that, but instead you use the word "Prejudice", and can I ask why reality (as you call it) is exactly how you describe it, but anyone else's opinion is prejudiced,knee jerked immaginings

Actually, I think ALL political parties in recent decades have not dealt with homelessness (and its causes) as they should have....I don't think "Labour have been great"...that's your assumption about anyone who thinks a little differently to you.

Nooo again (god this is getting tiresome) You blatantly blamed Margaret Thatcher for inistigating the homeless problem, I merely pointed out she hasnt been in power for over 25 years, 13 of which labour have been in power, but essentially we agree on the homless issue I think.

If I talk about present day austerity and cuts,that's valid,because that's where we are at the moment and have been for the past 5 years.

Indeed we have, but only becuase of MASSIVE OVER SPENDING by labour, granted the world economy took a dip at around the same time, but thats not the fault of any one party, but the Torys were left holding the baby so to speak, how else wher ethey to save money, do tell perhaps there is a job for you as chancellor of the Excheqour.

You talk about people with mental health issues.Do you have any idea how the cuts have fc*ked things up for people needing those support services? I do,from personal experience with an extended family member.That's not migrants,its cuts.If I talk about the Housing Act 1980 and the effect of it introducing the "free market" into rented housing and getting rid of rent controls,that's not historical nonsense.It is unfortunately,my friend,a reality,which anyone who really wants to help lessen homelessness ought to think about rather than just trotting out invective.

Just where have I mentioned it's the migrants fault for cuts you nut case ? your begining to sound a lot like a swivel eyed lefty looney. I'm sorry you had priblems with a family member due to cuts. However I have had to deal with just about the horiiblest reason to require help from mental health services, and to behonest no complaints, but I'll take your word for it that it's the nasty Torys fault.

As for Invective ? my point was that yes your right not enough has been done to help the homless, but blamming and act from 1980, that could have been changed by either government in over 35 years is daft, But again I think we kind of agree that niether left nor right has tackled the homeless issue. So not sure what the rest of your rant was about.

So,lets imagine no immigrants.What precisely are your policies for lessening homelessness? Are rent controls wrong? Is bring back decent legal aid to assist people like ex-service personnel wrong?Is reversing cuts to restore support services for people with mental health issues wrong?

First of all, you shouldnt have to (in my opinion( require any legal advice if you are justifiabley homless. whats to argue about you either are homless or not, you cant have a box in the country and a flat in the city.

My point which one again you have overlooked massivley and accused me of pejudiced, is stop spending millions on economic immigrants, and spend it instead on building sheltered housing for the homeless. You say I'm predjudiced against what or who exactly.

I'm sorry but that is the biggest pile of steaming lefty dog shyte ever to be put in type.
