Who on here's life is that bad ?

was in the local town yesterday beggars,rough sleepers in every doorway wifes gives them all a knicker for a coffee sarnie,wouldnt care but I,m not working myself fulltime , but homelessness is a stain on all of us, horrible to see and 1000,s of people only a bit of bad luck away from joining them

nearly everyone salaried or waged are say 4 months away from disaster in our wonderful system

yes even doctors and other fairly well paid people

Hardly a hardship. Anyone think your savings would increase under Labour ?

anyone with a big mortgage is in trouble for kick off

But that's not what Labour MP's are going on about moisok

I really have no idea what Labour is on about anymore  and I'm still a member.

The question was is anyone on here's life as bad as portrayed by Labour MP's. Not what might be, not what you see etc etc.............the point I'm making is I doubt that real abject poverty is not as commonplace as Labour would have you believe !

well if your laid out in a shop door way pretty certain your not reading your shoite on a lap top .so  no

So no problems then !

While I'm trying to get a rise, of course I feel sorry for the homeless especially ex forces and like most I would like to see help given to these people. A good start would be stopping foreign aid.

This afternoon in Herne Hill, 4 people in sleeping bags by the cash points at Tescos, Sainsbury and at the train station. Normally I would buy homeless people some food if I knew they were genuine but it is the same 'firm' that rotate their shifts, none of them are homeless.

Foreign Aid the biggest racket of the lot imo. main part of the reason I never give to those type of charities,took some stuff to the foodbank bin a couple of weeks ago but once again as with the homeless don't know how many actually are destitute to the point of prioritising survival only over the latest phone,drugs,booze etc.

I donated a decent barolo to the foodbank earlier.

I gave a beggar a fiver yesterday. He thanked me and said it made a nice change from getting the knickers off 1st time poster's wife.

1st time poster should be sued under the trade descriptions act. I've seen at least two posts by now.

I’m with Slippy on this one.
Not saying it’s not a big problem but have first hand experience of the beggar scam.
I was working in Chelmsford town center, and at 7.30 every morning the first beggar would turn up, and get in his sleeping bag.
He would leave at 11.30, and a pierced girl with a dog would take his place, and then others at 4 hr intervals.
I also did the odd evening shift, and the last one would always be gone by 9.00-9.30.
Not only that but a couple of guys would always turn up around 5.00, and take money from the same beggar.
Perhaps he was paying them for the best pitch?

ackiebigot and his wee dug trimbly..dinosaurs from a distant age.

WTF you going on about?

I suspect the majority of people in real abject poverty aren't on the betfair forum tbh.

the sad thing about life is that 4 to 5 million quid worth of food is chucked into bins every day of the week.
how difficult would it be for the people who chuck the food away to think twice and leave it somewhere where the poor people can pick it up.
then the poor people might get a little help to get back on life's ladder again.
some mother in some city tonight may have sent her little children to bed tonight HUNGRY,and a packet of corn flakes could have helped ,but they are lying in some bin tonight,because they are close to their sell by date in 3 days time.

I find that life is getting worse. I can't understand all of the gadgets on my new car. What is the Government going to do about it? I demand a free training course for all pensioners on new technology in all its forms.

Are you the D of E?
