Immigrants are too busy contributing and serving in public services like the NHS. Blame the source - the government - not the people picking up the pieces whilst being blamed for everything.

      Erm this is a Scottish government competence, this the is SNP (if you believe it is a government issue).
      Here is an incomplete list of Scottish government controlled areas; economy, education, health, justice, rural affairs, housing, environment. So economy, health and housing departments (which I think are most relevant to homelessness) are all under the SNP's direction, not the Tories.

      It is not sufficient and communities are having to step in and fill in the gaps that should be there for social care thanks to 10 years of cuts and austerity. Why are food banks even a thing? Why are 40% of children in the UK living in poverty - and who is helping them? These are all steps towards homelessness.

      Legalize opium and then what? An addict will spend all his money on drugs. Because he's an addict he won't be able to work. Because he can't work he'll do illegal things to obtain his drugs. No money usually means no home. So the drug is legal and the addict is still going to lose.

      John John like the guy said, you can’t help people that don’t want to be helped, no matter how much you try. All you can do is be as close as they’ll allow and make sure they know help is right here.
      It’s like an argument or something I guess. When you know you’re objectively correct and there is no argument to be had but the other person just won’t listen, won’t accept it and just mentally can not admit they’re wrong. You can’t force them, they have to get to that point themselves, with careful, considerate help.

      It sounds like 'Humpy' was too ashamed to ask for help, that he didn't want to impose himself on his family. You can tell that by how little his mother knew, who would probably have been the hardest person to tell (and he didn't). His brother was unsurprisingly a little easier to tell, but even then he must have felt great shame and hidden a lot.
