Since the Tories came in , rough sleepers on the streets has doubled

[dembethewarrior]

Walking home from work lastnight, seen a bloke I know that sleeps rough in the park. He's got to be pushing 60. Park gates either side of town get closed in the evening so this fella has to climb over when he's ready to go in.
Not that anyone deserves to be on the streets, but I'd rather be a youngster than get to that age and be out on the streets.

There are places in town, but they breathalyse them going in. I do get it to a point, but an old harmless bloke has a drink can't get in, some kid who's probably smacked up...i don't think they do a piss teat to gain entry...

Hi demb mate. The guy you see could book into a 'wet houe'. There is a few around. Hostels that allow drink or if not the drink then an intoxicated user. Dont know where you live. Plenty of older guys especialyy those who like a drink tend to make their own way. Hostels have become fuller of young people and its a headache for older types. Changes to housing benefits to under 25s havent helped with this.
