Whatever
In 2008 we were 11 years into a Labor government.
I'm struggling to see where you are coming from.

It is a problem, it's getting worse and will only get worse if Cameron and Osbourne insist on bringing this country to its knees. How is this to get better if funding to B&H city council is to reduce by 30million next year? 'Got any spare change mate?'
I used to hear that through the late 80's to early 90's all the time around derelict Churchill square.

We should be proud to support a club which is doing its bit to support those in our society who are vulnerable and homeless. AITC is a part of that of course plus support this year for two charities one of which, Off The Fence, works with the homeless in the City. However someone ends up on the street we have a responsibility to assist them in staying safe, healthy and with the opportunity to rebuild their life. http://bit.ly/1Fe94W1

Well, you would say that, wouldn't you?
Labour's only financial crime was not putting these people in jail.

I'm not saying it to make a point about Labor, like I said I don't believe this issue (financial crimes leading up to 2008) to be political.
I'm saying it to question the point you tried to make about conservatives. I don't see how the situation in 2008 can be considered related to conservative politics, conservatives were not in government in the decade preceding 2008.

No one is claiming Labour didn't make some huge mistakes and should have got spending under control but cutting 12billion from the most vulnerable in society is not the answer. We have a housing crisis and people using food banks. It's Britain, it's 2015, we simply should not be in this mess.

It is a good start, better than the money I give and sorry for ranting.
I think the current Government could do more in this area, and should, but something else would have to be cut deeper.
Yes of course, don't worry he'll be gone soon then the next man will sort it all out won't he, u need to take a look at yourself coz there's an idiot in the mirror.

slow down immigration to allow the homeless to be housed rather than someone coming in the country and being housed straight away??
Have you thought of setting up a careers advice service ?

No problem. To be fair it's not just Tories, no recent government has done enough to address homelessness.

See what you mean about robbers and grannies pensions ...

Of course we want our governments to do what they can, but with our limited housing supply, open borders, and the situation worse elsewhere in Europe, I can't see how it's not always going to be a bit of a mess.

Can I live in a large GDP?
GDP is a measure of how much money changes hands in an economy, it does not tell you how much was borrowed. If house prices go up, buyers need to borrow more to buy one, GDP goes up. How does that help the homeless?
UK net migration last year was just under 300'000 (not including illegals) - so that means a million or so extra people in the UK over next few years - on top of the level of net migration over the previous few years. (For comparison, net migration in 1995 was about zero). Then there is the increased birth rate that comes with a significantly increased and young population.
It is impossible to have this level of immigration into the UK without causing a housing crisis. Every three years we would need to build a city the size of Birmingham just to accommodate the people who arrive, never mind any children they may have. But the prevailing culture that has only allowed the positives of mass immigration to be spoken of until recently is, I believe, as much to blame as any other factor.
In short, a million more people into the UK every 3 years = lots of people with nowhere to live, no matter which party is in power.

Has the expectation changed then? That's always been the case hasn't it?
I thought you had to work hard, save for a deposit and then buy, which takes time.
Not just expect to buy after a couple of years in work.
