People like @IainDale convinced you to vote for Brexit to save the £0.0088 you contribute to Jean-Claude Junker’s wages. 320,000 sleep rough in Britain. Imagine a world in which £2 billion helps humans instead of following geeks down rabbit holeshttps://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/dec/17/theresa-may-pushes-forward-2bn-no-deal-brexit-preparations …

Julia is absolutely right, Government's own figures, done by periodic head count, around 5,000. Where the number is the key part of your story, to be out by a multiple of 64 or over 6000% is shocking reporting
-
You’re right. It’s merely 320,000 homelesshttps://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/nov/22/at-least-320000-homeless-people-in-britain-says-shelter …
-
Yes, a very different thing. The homeless figure includes people living in temporary accommodation and B&Bs. It’s not acceptable but they are not living on the streets. The figures out today are for rough sleeper deaths. Facts do matter, you know.
-
On the subject of facts, me saying 320,000 ‘rough sleepers’ when I meant ‘320,000 homeless’ was a “blatant lie” was it?

So let’s nail this down Julia. Once and for all. You claim that there 5k rough sleepers in Britain. Yes?
-
No, I don’t claim anything. There are official estimates from people working in this field of around that number.
-
Well, you DID claim something. You claimed the numbers were out by about 5,000.
-
To quote one source (BBC): "The latest release shows that in autumn 2017, there were 4,751 people sleeping rough in England"
-
Yeah I can read the article - but you said '320,000 sleep rough', which is not true

Fucking hell! So you think there are 5000 homeless - and yet nearly 600 of them died last year alone? What fucking planet are you on. I repeat. Fucking hell.

You know how the left love to refer to those who they don't agree with as Gammon. How about those who deliberately mislead being called Bacon. See what I've done there?

Rash comments...

Steady, PETA will be after you.

@JuliaHB1 love you on Brexit but you have no idea how many rough sleepers there are over the country if you think it's only 5000...............really?? You show what a bubble you live in when you come out with crap like that!! I'd love to see where you got that number from

Denny, the periodic headcount, which informs the government figures, is undertaken by homeless charities, who will be familiar with and aware of almost all 'genuine' street homeless. Try and learn first, get facts, then spout drivel after if you still must
-
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/nov/08/one-in-every-200-people-in-uk-are-homeless-according-to-shelter … Well I as said. I don't know where you get your data from bubble boy but I read and hopefully facts while learning as I go, I'll leave the drivel to you my friend. But this was from 2017 I'm sure they're all housed by now so your probably right there Darbs
