55 homeless children die in the UK as a result of government policy

Not coming back: in deference to good taste, it seemed reasonable to run an image of a child running away down a back alley, as symbolic of those who have left us and are not coming back because of government policies on poverty and homelessness.

Today (March 5, 2024), This Site published an article about the starvation of children in Gaza, quoting the famous line that if you want to know what politicians would do to you if they could get away with it, look what they support abroad.

Here’s what they are getting away with, here in the UK:

In that other article, I made reference to the late Tony Benn’s words: “The way governments treat refugees is the way they would treat the rest of us if they could get away with it.”

It seems that, here in the UK, they are getting away with it.

ONS consults on plan to axe data on people who die while homeless. Why hide it?

Frozen: These snow effigies of homeless people were created in 2018 to demonstrate that rough sleepers were freezing to death. Has anything changed since then?

Is this another Tory government bid to hide the effect of its policies on the people of the UK?

It seems the Office for National Statistics is consulting the public on whether to scrap its annual count of the number of people who die while they are homeless.

Buy Cruel Britannia in print here. Buy the Cruel Britannia ebook here. Or just click on the image!

Read the following – and the source article too, if you want more information – and then please take part in the consultation here. It is running until March 5 so please share it with your friends.

Official statistics counting the number of people who die while homeless in England and Wales could be axed despite frontline organisations warning rising homelessness means “now is not the time”.

The ONS count uses death certificates to ascertain whether someone died while homeless alongside modelling to produce an estimate. The most recent count, published in November 2022, found an estimated 741 people died in 2021.

“This proposal does not reflect our view on the seriousness of the issue of deaths of homeless people. However the current homeless deaths statistics have included major caveats around factors including time of death, the definition of homelessness and their alignment with statistics on the total number of homeless people,” an ONS spokesperson said.

“ONS is open to re-establishing these statistics in future, and would value users’ views on their relative importance compared to other health and social care statistics through the consultation currently running.”

The move has faced criticism from frontline homelessness organisations.

Balbir Kaur Chatrik, director of policy and communications at youth homelessness charity Centrepoint, said: “Of the more than 700 deaths in 2021, 31 were under 25, thirteen still teenagers. Youth homelessness has increased significantly since then and we’re worried even more lives will have been lost.

“Statistics alone won’t end homelessness – but without a solid evidence base it will be impossible to tell how far we have to go.”

Again: the ONS consultation on whether it should stop publishing information on people who die while homeless is here until March 5. Please take part and share the link.

Asylum seekers on Bibby Stockholm are doing better work than Tory politicians

The barge: Bibby Stockholm seems to have become home to a group of people who are having a hugely positive effect volunteering to help homeless people in Portland and Weymouth. Perhaps asylum-seekers are better than Tory politicians have pretended?

Asylum-seekers who have been detained by the Tory government on the Bibby Stockholm barge are doing charity work in Portland and nearby Weymouth, it has been revealed.

They aren’t allowed to work for wages while they wait for the Tory-run Home Office to assess their asylum claims.

Instead, some of them are filling the huge amount of free time on their hands by volunteering for charities:

Azad [not his real name], an asylum seeker currently living on the Bibby Stockholm barge, is devoting his time to volunteering for homeless charities in Weymouth… and Portland, helping to cook and distribute food for those who are living on the streets during the coldest months of the year.

Buy Cruel Britannia in print here. Buy the Cruel Britannia ebook here. Or just click on the image!

Several of the asylum seekers living on the barge have now begun volunteering with local charities – and in particular, charities working with homeless people.

Some of the men on board the barge have experience in charity work, having worked for organisations in their home countries… Others have volunteered at charities in London or other parts of the country where they were housed before moving to the Bibby Stockholm.

The asylum seekers receive around £9 a week as an allowance to spend on food or leisure in Weymouth or Portland… Azad said he spends the majority of his weekly allowance on food to give to homeless people in Weymouth.

Compare this with the antics of the Tory MPs in Parliament, whose policies seem designed to make as many people homeless as possible – and who seem unlikely to spend any time working to ease the lives of those their policies have ruined.

Squatting is on the rise again in Britain – because the government wants it?

It’s bad for business, you know.

If rents or house prices are too high, they go empty, meaning their owners make no money from them.

Left empty, they become prey to squatters – people who can’t afford to rent or buy houses – who move in by whatever means they can.

Buy Cruel Britannia in print here. Buy the Cruel Britannia ebook here. Or just click on the image!

They’re not always the best of occupiers – often causing damage. And who pays to correct that?

On the other hand, squatting is illegal and anyone convicted of it may be imprisoned for six months – which of course puts a roof over their head.

So it’s a lose-lose situation. Homeowners and landlords lose because their properties are not making money and because they have to foot the bill for any repairs; and squatters may be imprisoned.

There is a solution, if we could only work out what it might be. Let’s look at some facts, courtesy of The Guardian:

There are now 1.5m vacant properties lying idle across England and Wales. At the same time at least 271,000 people are recorded as homeless in England alone, from those sleeping on streets or sofa-surfing to others living in unsuitable and even dangerous temporary accommodation.

So there are more than five times as many empty properties as there are people looking for homes. Why is there a push to build more?

The article suggests

A 2022 opinion poll found 65% of respondents supported councils being given the powers to acquire long-term empty properties at below-market value for use as social housing. Such a policy has been implemented in Barcelona.

The real obstacle to freeing up empty properties in the UK seems to be government inaction.

Why is the government doing nothing? Why is it deliberately creating conditions that will criminalise many thousands of people? Why does it want to imprison people who simply want a place to live?

Is there money for politicians if they support house-building rather than the acquisition of existing homes to be turned into cheaper dwellings? Is that it?

A little cash is better than no cash. Home owners and landlords would be better-off taking council money. Councils would benefit from renting out renovated homes.

But the government is deliberately sitting on its hands. Why?

Tory minister’s inappropriate response to challenge means he should resign

Johnny Mercer: he’ll be grinning on the other side of his face if voters in his Plymouth Moor View constituency demand a higher standard from their representative.

It’s time to demand a restoration of standards among our politicians – and Johnny Mercer simply doesn’t rise to mine.

This Site covered his inappropriate behaviour towards media personality Carol Vorderman earlier, after he denigrated her support for former Royal Marine Fred Thomas’s bid to unseat him in the next general election.

He suggested she has a “shit lonely life” (his words), that “no one normal really cares” about her support for Mr Thomas, that “they think you’re mad”, and finished with a series of “puking” emojis.

This is a breach of at least the seventh Nolan principle of public life – that he should treat others with respect.

Today, we learn that Mercer – who is Minister for Veterans, remember – doubled down on his attack by turning his attention to Mr Thomas himself. Here’s Vorders again:

Again: no respect.

And if he’s not going to respect a fellow politician and former serviceman who rose to the rank of captain in the Royal Marines, then I think we can be sure he has never respected any of the other former servicepeople his job title suggests he should represent.

In the past, when ministers’ behaviour crossed a line beyond what is acceptable, they either chose, or were made, to do the decent thing and resign their position.

Recently, they have scorned the voters by choosing to brazen it out – keeping their jobs and ministerial paycheques in spite of outrage at their behaviour. Bear in mind that James Cleverly remains Home Secretary, nearly a week after his offensive comments about the date-rape drug Rohypnol.

As voters, we need to re-establish our boundaries – and make it clear to politicians that we expect the highest standards from them.

If they won’t commit to those standards voluntarily, then we should enforce them at the ballot box, by removing them from public life the hard way.

Mercer and Cleverly’s inappropriate behaviour make them entirely appropriate candidates for such treatment.

Former Marine to stand against Johnny Mercer after failure to end veterans’ homelessness

Keyboard warrior: Johnny Mercer responded with anger to the revelation that an Armed Forces veteran will try to unseat him at the next general election after he failed to reduce veterans’ homelessness, instead presiding over a 14 per cent increase.

A former Royal Marine is to stand as Labour’s candidate against former Army officer and current Minister for Veterans Affairs, Johnny Mercer, at the next general election – as Mercer himself suggested.

Mercer swore to end veterans’ homelessness in 2023, saying, “Hold me to account.”

But he has failed dramatically, with veterans’ homelessness in fact increasing by 14 per cent.

Here’s Carol Vorderman with some facts:

Will he apologise, asked Mr Thomas.

Apparently not.

Instead – well, here’s Vorders again:

To support herself, Vorders has tweeted some evidence:

If any part of the factual information above is wrong, This Writer would be interested to know.

But it all looks fairly clear to me.

Once again, ’tis the season to be homeless – if you’re a CHILD in the UK at Christmas

I used to write this story every bloody year.

Lost track a bit after2020. Back then, 131,000 children were set to be homeless at Christmas. That was a helluva lot more than in 2013, when I wrote my first article based on figures from homelessness charity Shelter. The total then was around 80,000.

Now it’s closer to 139,000.

So the number of children who are homeless in the UK has nearly doubled in 10 years.

Buy Cruel Britannia in print here. Buy the Cruel Britannia ebook here. Or just click on the image!

I’d call that a Tory policy failure but here’s Shelter’s version:

Nearly 139,000 children in England will wake up on Christmas morning without a place to call home. This is the highest number on record.

Yes, we are outraged too.

Forced to stay in cold shipping containers, badly converted offices, cramped B&Bs (sometimes with six people to a room), or in places where the locks don’t work properly.

This is not a home.

But how did it come to this?

A lack of affordable homes in the UK means the housing emergency is spiralling. More people are struggling in temporary accommodation or being forced onto the streets.

“My first six weeks living in temporary accommodation left me traumatised for life.”
– Fashmina

This is unacceptable.

We must act now.

Your donation today could:

  • answer an emergency call from a family who are facing the fear and uncertainty of being made homeless

  • help to pay for legal advice to help a family in crisis keep their home

  • advocate for access to secure and permanent homes for everyone

Your donation won’t be restricted to a single project but will be used wherever it’s needed most to help those fighting for their right to a safe home.

Yes – this is an appeal for financial help, to make life endurable for people like Fashmina – whose words above should chill you as much as they did me.

Get yourself over to Shelter’s appeal page now – and do what you can to help.

And remember it was Tory policies that have traumatised children like Fashmina.

Braverman’s legacy: tents of homeless people are destroyed by council(?) and police

Braverman’s last wish: tents belonging to homeless people are loaded onto a rubbish compactor lorry.

There’s a couplet in Moby Dick that runs like this:

From Hell’s heart I stab at thee,
For hate’s sake, I spit my last breath at thee.

One of Suella Braverman’s last breaths as Home Secretary, if one can put it like that, was to suggest that being homeless is a “lifestyle choice” and call for rough sleepers to have their tents taken away from them – just as the autumn and winter chill started to set in.

Then last Friday (November 10), this happened:

Even now the facts are unclear.

Buy Cruel Britannia in print here. Buy the Cruel Britannia ebook here. Or just click on the image!

But a BBC report provides this information on what it said was a Metropolitan Police operation:

Refuse workers threw the tents into the back of their lorry on Huntley Street, Camden, at about 15:00 GMT on Friday.

The Met said it “worked with University College London Hospital and other partners in response to concerns”.

It is understood that the NHS hospital trust, which has a building entrance on the road, requested the dispersal of rough sleepers but not the destruction of tents.

Refuse company Veolia was contacted for comment.

A University College London Hospital (UCLH) spokesperson said “public health concerns” prompted the action.

Elodie Berland, who volunteers with outreach organisation Streets Kitchen… said the homeless men “had everything taken away from them”.

She said that about 10 tents were destroyed along with the men’s personal belongings as the Met issued a S35 dispersal order, which requires people to vacate an area for a maximum of 48 hours.

It seems Braverman’s final hate-filled wish as Home Secretary has been granted – ironically, by the police force she attacked in the newspaper article that prompted Rishi Sunak to sack her.

Pie bites chunks out of Braverman [STRONG LANGUAGE]

Braverman: I’m using this image again with a story about the Home Secretary and the homeless because she probably thinks not paying energy bills is an advantage for people who don’t have a home to heat. Of course, her own bills are paid for her – by you.

No, I haven’t got them the wrong way around in the headline.

Jonathan Pie has turned his attention to Home Secretary Suella Braverman after she had the bare-faced, ignorant cheek to say that being homeless is a “lifestyle choice”.
