Labour Party Conference

The National Strike was across the country , called by the TUC, the miners were ‘locked out’ before the strike, mine owners wanted them to work longer hours for less pay, after the strike was called off the miners were still ‘locked out’ so a waste of time and yet again let down by the unions

Ah lemon your usual level of compassion and concern I see. Homelessness and poverty can never be entirely eradicated At least trying might be a good idea. Did you really look at the homeless figures? The families who are in temporary accommodation (which is actually very expensive and is syphoning public money into private landlord's hands)

People are trying trisher ( I shall ignore the silly insults.)

Are they lemon any evidence? Or is this just a lemon edict?

Unfortunately the government aren't (trying I mean)

...and your evidence that they ‘aren’t trying’ is?
Councils up and down the land try and house people, which is a nightmare for them as there are too many people chasing too few houses.No government has built enough social housing going back decades, but in the last ten years the population has grown tremendously.
Churches and charities do wonderful work too.
Drug use has proliferated, we all know that, contributing to the problem of homelessness.
None of us need a lecture from you trisher on this.
Back to the LP. Conference.....or shall we let it die off as it’s now over?

The government could if they wished lemon begin an immediate social housing building initiative. They could introduce rent contracts so that private landlords stop increasing the rent families pay, forcing them out of their homes so that at least for a fixed term the family is safe. Did you actually look at the figures?
