    FTFY.

    Like most of the other growing injustices doing anything other than sending them home will compound the problem.

        Not sure they ARE leaving them homeless and destitute. They are sending them back to where their OWN homes are. Just the destitution aspect to deal with when they get home.

        We've met them halfway you might say.

          No-one should get a free ride. I can find thousands of menial jobs that should be done in return for benefits. The tricky bit is finding the right balance but currently we just seem to have handouts with no return.

            I had a colleague that did alot of work with the homeless. Most of the reasons they are homeless is nothing to do with money - it is emotional, drugs etc.

            I don't think those helping the homeless should be snitching. It will mean homeless will have no-one to trust.

              I suspect the charity see it as the least worst option out of a not particularly great set of options. Remember that you are not now allowed to rent a property to someone without the right to be here (see https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/ho...-by-landlords/) so the charity can't house them - hence its a better option than many of the other options...

                Quite right, metal illness, family breakdowns, and addiction. Sadly a lot of ex-forces with combat stress.

                How many wealthy people walk by without even a thought?

                  Problem is that the article is about charities referring foreign rough sleepers to immigration.

                  Unless we do that then the foreign component will grow. This will make things worse for everyone.

                  The existing problems we have are deep enough and as mentioned its driven by things other than money.

                    how many MPs let care in the community continue?

                    Yes it needs to be fixed but the problems are not solved by a quid given to a beggar.
