  1. >He will tell voters that “rough sleeping was all but eradicated” by the last Labour government and will pledge to “condemn the scandal of rough sleeping to history, not just for a short time but for all time”.

    Well that’s BS for a start.

  2. Only white English people are homeless on the streets of London. The government and khan puts illegal immigrants before English people and gives them special preferential treatment, privileges and priority for housing etc, but the English homeless have worked at some point in their lives and contributed to this country unlike these unskilled, uneducated, racist, white man hating, western society despising, Muslim, criminal rapists that the government is importing daily. The people of England need to be put first before any foreigner.

    He’s going to find them a warm and dry place to stay, or just move them somewhere else?

    I chatted a lot with a homeless guy living down my place because he wasn’t good in English but we both spoke a common language and he explained that when the weather permits it he much prefers to sleep outside than in the shelters since they’re dangerous places.

    He was saying most of the time it’s a choice rather than a necessity.

    I know how he will do it at no cost at all.
    Simple redefine “homelessness”.

    Easier said than done. 

    I’ve spoken to homeless people who explained as ex addicts they would sooner reject housing offers in areas where drugs are rife (which is common in council allocated housing) — to avoid being tempted into relapsing. People like that value their sobriety over a roof.
