Homeless at Christmas: Liverpool

  • The visual symbols of Liverpool's soaring homelessness crisis are impossible to miss. On every street corner there is a person sitting, wrapped in blankets or sodden sleeping bags.
    Tents have sprung up right across the city centre as more and more people with nowhere to turn bed down for the freezing winter nights.
    As if the December weather isn’t bad enough, dealing with being homeless on Christmas Day must be unbearable.

    Thank you for raising awareness. This has really inspired me to do something this Christmas to help those who really need it. Even providing some warm clothes no longer needed or buying some hot food or drink. I wish there was more we could do to help this crisis. 💔

    I grew up in Liverpool, I'm a single male mid age and next month I face eviction, as do four other English men in the same property. The underlying issue that nobody is speaking about is that no jobs = no rent paid= eviction. The property next door has 6 foreign men, all kept their jobs in TJ Morris, liverpool based warehouse that terminate employment of English and employ mass foreigners. This was evident in the next job I applied for at speke b&m warehouse. Didn't get the job because an extensive line of immigrants also attended and took all jobs. It's fucking crazy, our ancestors would be so disappointed this is the country they fought for

      Completely misunderstood my point. Landlord evictions are obviously going to happen if they don't get the rent paid. I'm saying it's impossible to pay rent if the whole lower end of society is being pushed out of work by mass immigrants.

      @@AdikiaMedia and furthermore the cheapest rentable properties are now being turned into HMO to accommodate immigrants. So now if you want a cheap one bed flat it impossible unless you pay stupidly high rent. They are destroying our society rapidly

      TJ Morris is the scummiest company to work for. Bullying is the norm and the favoritism is a joke. I used to work with the owners own son who used to threaten to sexually assault me everyday and nothing was done about this.

    Came across this on Reddit and it is so nice of you to show people these tragedies. Have been homeless in the UK right after the pandemic during the summer before and it was already bad enough. How people dehumanise you is rough. I wish people would understand that people have tough times and are trying hard to find a way out, not look down at you as an untermensch, I wish more people have empathy and compassion like you

    The government say they are spending £2 billion on homelessness, yet the figures of people being homeless have gone up by 50 percent and 280k people sleeping rough. This country is in such a mess and the pathetic self serving government does not want to admit how badly they are getting everything wrong

    I had the misfortune of being homeless at one point. Council put me in a B&B for 30 days. They then proceeded to send me an invoice for just shy of a grand. If I could afford to pay £1000 a month, I wouldn’t have been homeless 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

    The Council should be ashamed of themselves for letting our own suffer. I had the misfortune of dealing with the negligence of the housing team myself and I was lucky to get £500 off them as compensation.

      It isn't the council, homelessness has skyrocketed since the tories took over. When they came in they cut council budgets massively.

    The lack of support from councils and charities that seem to operate by advertising to help homelessness for a good image while doing little to nothing to help them makes me sick.

    I’ve reported homeless people many times to Street Link UK, they claim they cannot find these people I’ve reported when I constantly see the same homeless everyday. They refer homeless persons details to local councils which must never follow up on these reports. You only have to drive/walk around many areas to find them, so why can’t the council help them… it’s because they don’t want too and don’t care if these people die in the cold, alone and suffering…..
