I recognise that he fell on hard times and had a series of unfortunate things happen to him, but at 56 years old and presumably self-employed for most of that time, why or how did he not manage to put together any kind of emergency fund?
No because no one truly cares. Instead you will get told to consider flat shares, get a second job, I live on less than that and I have a home, tighten your belt, stop buying that coffee in the morning and on and on it goes.
Every government since I can remember will promise to fix the housing crisis and deliver nothing – I read today that Labour have managed a decline since they got into power despite huge promises-Just 39,170 homes were granted planning permission in Q1 2025, the lowest figure since 2012 and a 55% fall from the previous quarter.
If we all really cared we would be setting up a go fund for him. Except we just sit on Reddit complaining how shit governments are.
There’s plenty of money…it’s just that they don’t want you to have any.
Hed be better pretending he is an asylum seeker. Say he washed up on the south coast. No comprendo englaisez….losta passporta.
Then he’d get food and lodgings and could maybe do cash in hand work and rebuild savings?
If we can afford it for people who’ve never paid into the system surely we can do it for someone who has?
A skilled bloke like that, working hard and still can’t afford a roof over his head.. We should be ashamed as a nation that we’ve normalised this.. Housing’s long since become a luxury instead of a basic right.. Just grim..
Absolutely wild that we look after anyone not from the UK that rocks up and asks for it, all expenses paid, but we don’t offer the same thing for British people
