In that safe country, Rwanda, President Paul Kagame has another five years in power after winning 99.2 percent in the presidential election.

Poor bastards Surprised the locals haven't exerted their power to have them removed Most of the locals who own property around Park Lane are migrants themselves. Very rich migrants. Perhaps if they gave up their often empty homes to the homeless when they aren’t there, there would be fewer people in need of living in a tent (a lifestyle choice according to Suella Braverman!!)

Yes, but these people are the wrong sort of migrants...

It doesn't say they're migrants at all. It says they 'appear' to be migrants - because one has - er - a beard. It then goes on to to talk about another completely unrelated migrant issue to cement the idea that they are migrants - for which they've provided no evidence. They also appear to be homeless - amongst the third of a million homeless people in the UK - which for the fifth richest country in the world by GDP is nothing short if a national disgrace which even Prince William has enough about him to be tuned in to. The more it's shoved in the faces of people who've got the wherewithall to do something about it the better as far as I'm concerned.

Here is something which has always baffled me.
When the government has a goal to eliminate homelessness have homeless people ever signed up to the idea that is what they want?
Because the tax payer could fund all the accomodation in the world for homeless people.
But if I was a homeless person and had to decide between being holed out in some shit hole sharing facilities with a whole lot of other desperados or I could live in a nice tent in a park in the swankiest part of london I'd choose the latter every time.
So I don't see how you can 'fix' homelessness. Not in a nice country like ours.
The only countries where you don't see so many homeless people are places like Singapore and Russia where they have fairly brutal regimes.
Just musing...

You wouldn't want to be a tent, like that one the photograph above at chucking out time from a festival in Hyde Park.

You seem to be assuming that all 'homeless' speak with one voice and are homeless for the same reason. In fact I'd go further and say you're suggesting that Braverman is right and it is a lifestyle choice. They don't speak with one voice they speak with many voices - not that anyone usually listens. If you're really interested in what they want go and talk to a few. There's plenty of them about. Just share a sandwich and have a chat.

Let me explain the difference if I may…...homeless military veterans are almost certainly British, have served their country possibly in a war zone giving them mental issues. It’s a disgrace that we don’t, as a country, do more to help them. On the other hand illegal immigrants have given little to our country, taken by the bucket load, costing us millions a day and continue to come, over 1400 in Labours first 9 days of government. I don’t know what the answer is but please don’t lump military veterans in the same basket as illegal immigrants.

I dont think he would give them any thought whatsoever if they were not veterans,more interested in them spoiling the view than anything else.

Im not delving into this its already been written to death on here about whats legal and not. Just to throw in another tangent on this maybe if there were not so many people willing to join armies and fight in so many wars around the world it would stop an awful lot of the migration what is happening at the moment. Afghans,Iraqis etc etc

If so many people were not willing to fight in so many wars the world would be full of dictators not democracy.

Fair enough I don’t think eggy worded it too well though, but I can guarantee that, as you say all homeless veterans have made that " lifestyle choice", is absolutely not true. Of course there will be some, but for many the effect of leaving the armed forces and the care that it provides is simply too much and they sadly fall by the wayside and end up homeless through various reasons.

As you say, I have no specialist knowledge, just trying to put myself in the shoes off a homeless person and asking myself what I might do. I expect it would depend on the weather to some extent.

The location is actually not the issue at all, or indeed is the homelessness. The real issue (it appears) is that they're (allegedly) illegal migrants, rather than veterans.
