Panorama: Britain's Hidden Homeless Crisis

[expatinscotland]

NOW!

Oh, what a mess.

Stuff goes in storage. Get a one-bedroom. We were going to do this in Glasgow when Aillidh was still alive, but ill.

Wonder where the family are going to go? Feel so bad for the girls, the same thing happened to a friend of mine in year 10 when I was at school, it was awful.

God that was heartbreaking about Kevin poor man. Where are his family?

I used to work with homeless and vulnerable people, where are the support workers and charities?!

Oh, they can take a *lot, lady. If they have to.

this is such an emotional programme

those kids could fall out of those windows or anything

Oh, good grief!

I'm about ten minutes behind! still on the 6 kid family in one bed flat!

even now the family with the 2 girls seem a bit heads-in-sandish
They don't seem like they tried many plan Bs like lodgers etc

How stupid! Why not just leave them there?

she has an Iphone? I have a crappy basic motorola from the early days

apologies didnt mean that to sound harsh or offensive

2k a month is just so much isn't it, even with lodgers. It's a crazy amount to pay month in and month out and just on an interest only basis.

omg

I was thinking the same about the kids jumping on the bed near the windows

DH and I are chattering about it and I keep pressing pause to chat and now I'm behind, argh!

yes it is a lot, but £100 a week rent free can make a dent - I know a few families that share rooms to do this to tide them over

No way I'd have bought such a big house. EVER. Unless I won the lottery.

£100k a week TAX free I mean

jenny, she DIDN'T have money, that's the point! if you get a 100% mortgage and only pay interest you can't afford that house! so don't get it in the first place!

that hostel is a rip off BTW!

Was it London that large house? London prices boggle me.

those poor children ffs
