It is not up to the government to "solve" this crisis, but it is up to the government to move all its rules and regulations out of the way and let the free market resolve the issues of supply and demand.
Stop the boats Which would ‘free’ the money from the illegals The billions extra money will help build social housing - our homeless 15 million per day for immigrants - put our British people first
@@EpicAelflaed exactly 300 social houses just built in my town all been allocated to migrants younger people born in the town been on waiting list for 5-8 years have now been told wait is now up to 15 years?? Utter madness
🤔They will just say "It's a life-style choice of these people, nothing to do with us!" ... So, with a clean conscience, they can carry on building their careers!🤬
@@tracydoherty9165why didn't labour change it, Blair and co were in power for years and years, it's not just the Tories and please stop falling for that, it's just a ploy to devide people with hate. praying for you.
No wonder there is such anger at how badly our own people are being treated as opposed to how well invaders are treated by, criminally, entering our country illegally.
Any spare cash from the tax payer's. should be spent on the true British people.. not on others that only want to hurt us.. it doesn't make sense. Vote reform. people you know other party's will do nothing to make us great again but?
Blame Thatcher for selling all the council houses, not the refugees and asylum seekers for seeking a better life! It was people in suits who ruined this country not people in rags and tracksuits ❤
It's horrendous in the UK for young folk these days. Looking back to 1991, my partner was pregnant and we got a mortgage on an old house for 22,000 pounds. I was a bus driver on 10,500 pounds a year. The mortgage was 110 pounds a month which was about 15% of my wages. My missus didn't need to work. Nowadays, a bus driver earns 3 times as much as I did in 1991, but house prices are 10-15 times as higher than 1991.... Now that's the problem!
Are native brits breeding more now than we did in the 80s/90s? I don’t think so! Statistically we are choosing to have smaller families and children much later. So how do we not have enough housing in 2024? Answer 1 - mass unregulated immigration. Answer 2 - local housing being brought by non locals and turned into HMOs or air BNBs for greedy landlords.
For Cornwall it's purely the government types, boris Johnson for example own homes here to come down in the summer. I used to live in a village where 80% of the homes were empty year round. When my mum grew up there, the entire place was lived in. Our generation is suffering through the greed of the baby boomers
The white population of this earth peaked in 1930. If you look at the population of major cities they're often lower than they were then even with our foreign friends. London peaked 1939,paris in 1922, Manhattan in 1910, Berlin 1939, my home city is still 50,000 shy of its 350,00 peak. I've never seen anyone go into real detail on this matter. As for the choosing to have less children take a look at the of abortions per year, the culture is the problem not the housing. Personally I think bankruptcy is our only hope.
You are right about our population. In fact the world population (surprisingly) is predicted to slow down (which surely is a good thing.) There are so many 2nd (or even 3rd or 4th homes - yes, really - l have lived and worked in the next county along which has a similar problem with housing - l personally knew of people who truly had more '2nd homes' than you could count on one hand.) I really don't think constantly building is necessary - just use the current housing stock better - this programme highlighted this when talking about the problem not being as out of control before masses of homes got bought up in 2020. Places like St.Ives are now bringing in tougher rules about 2nd homes - the rest of these places need to have the 'courage' (and honesty) to do the same.
Don't forget the £187 million this traitorous government gave them in "overseas aid" (i.e bribes),.or the fact the government doesn't recognise them as a terrorist organisation.
Looking at these comments I can see that the British people know exactly what the problem is even though it wasn’t mentioned in the video, illegal immigration and government policy’s that favour this.
I'm 64 and disabled/unable to work. I'm 'lucky' to live in a tiny council flat - but at least I have one, and have a roof over my head. I had to go to the local Pantry today. I don't drive and it's a struggle to get there. I haven't been for over 3 weeks because of the difficulty getting to and from there. It's very good as its £5 for the bus fare, + £5 for £20 worth of food - it's a Godsend. It takes me 4 to 5 hours for the round trip, due to the horrendous bus service (it'd take 40 minutes round trip in a car). I'm always very ill by the time I get home, and am wiped out for the next few days. 90% of the people who go there, are foreigners - they live within walking distance of the church where it's held. Today, they said we could have one extra 'luxury item' as its their 2nd year of being. Open. I was number 18 in the queue. EVERY foreigner came out, with their items, and large tubs of Quality Street chocolates, or 2 boxes of chocolates. When it got to my turn, I was given a small pack of low calorie 5 pack of cereal bars!!! There were tubs of chocolates available, but I was told 'they weren't for me'!!! Other English people had the same as me - the large boxes and tubs were only available to the foreigners!!!!!! I know this isn't anywhere near as awful as being homeless, but I just wanted to point out the truth of how us indigenous people are treated VERY differently to foreigners. It's despicable and latent.
I feel like I am living in a foreign country, yet I am a 50 year old indigenous English born white man. I live in a converted garage and it costs me £900 per month. Take care, stay safe 🙏
And most of them get all the good benefits aswell probably go out and beg then go use food banks ,they know how to come over here and take us for everything they can
Basically the woman who left abusive relationship is homeless whilst her criminal ex is in prison with a roof over his head and 3 square meals a day. Wheres the justice in that? Sums this country up...
I’m guessing drugs and alcohol are involved in her situation. There was no need to leave the home she was in as he’s in prison, they probably wasn’t paying the rent and they got evicted.
Homelessness is a massive problem everywhere. I left the wife last year due to domestic abuse & lived in a Mini for 3 months. I work & earn the most I've ever earned although it's only a bit above minimum wage. I could rent a 1 bed flat where I live for 3 weeks wages. The 4th weeks wage would hopefully cover the extortionate bills & fraudulent claims such as council tax but that's not a given. So, I work 50-60 hours a week to live in a box & rely on a food bank to eat with nothing left for any kind of pleasure whatsoever. Can someone, anyone, make that make sense to me??? What that is, is modern day slavery whith chains you can't see. While I lived in the mini I saved & bought a van which I now live in full time. I still work & it works for me. I love the way I live now but if anything happens to my van, I'll be street homeless, losing everything, again, for the 5th time! I don't do poor me, I just work hard to make my life how I want it to be & try to help others. If you see a homeless person speak to them. Acknowledge they are there ffs. The worst part of street homeless for me, is being invisible to the flag waving virtue signallers. You'll take in a Ukranian from a fake war but can't bare to even look at the homeless guy, sat freezing outside Tesco!
Made my blood boil seeing MY people struggle while all these boat jumpers are getting FREE accommodation and FREE funding, people like me will snap one day and take things into their own hands
This really is a complete Disgrace Shameless Government leaving people to Rot and starve to death Spending billions on illegal migrants in hotels This Is Britain's Shame and A black Stain on our Communities It Make Me Cry and my Heart feels so Sad
@@weepingangel6805 - 🤔Well, basically, because they get elected not only to collect taxes! ( although that seems the most important ) but to administrate other Departments, and local councils, such as Job-centres, affordable-housing, etc... Who do YOU think has the responsibility? The Church, maybe? 🤔
We have a housing crisis all over Australia now too. It’s a disgrace! Byron bay would be our equivalent of Cornwall ; plenty of luxury Air bnbs & high end motels. The rents have soared and locals now living in tents behind the beaches and councils come to rip them down every week. Terrible just terrible! Feel for the locals in Cornwall and right across England.
People really need to go and watch the shortfilm "Dinner for few" this sums up exactly what is happening.. The immigrants are the mouse in the short-film, i.e. the distraction..
It's just incredible to think that with the right people in charge, this country would be loaded, and not a single person who was capable of working would be out of a job or skint.
@FelicityFlow-ug2eq - Ah! But that was the Tories! ... Now there is a Labour Government! ... Everything will soon be MUCH better!! hahahaha 🤣hahahaha 🤣hahahaha 🤣
@@dottieland7061 I mean they can find accommodation for all these migrants coming to the UK by boat but not for our own people who have fallen on hard times. And don’t get me started on all the benefits illegal migrants get, I have first hand knowledge of this, people would be appalled if they actually knew the truth
I’m a fulltime wheelchair user, long term sick and homeless. There is a server lack of support and services and If any supoort or services they have so many barriers and hoops to jump through that make it impossible.
If she got her share of the inheritance in her own name, she would have automatically gone over the savings threshold for benefits. I suspect there is more to that story. There is no way someone with five kids wouldn't have been granted social housing.
I was homeless for two years. People don't realise how many just ended up there through bad times. I've seen many people that are pretty normal people become homeless that are now substance abusers or alcoholics. You try living like that without anything to numb it. Especially through winter. I have my own place again now and I'm moving forward but yeah, I did drugs and drank when I was homeless. It made it so much easier to deal with it. That's the reality of it. At first it's easier to deal with, then it starts to get at you. Then you start breaking down slowly and the harder it gets the more it gets at you making it harder still again. And then you get hit by winter which hits your body. You get through it. Move on. Get on with things. Then another winter starts approaching....
The lack of compassion for those who fall on tough times is depressing and rather bizarre. The current ethos will accept all kinds of criminal or unsavoury behaviour, yet the judgement levied at our most unfortunate is harsh and unforgiving. I may be cynical but I can only assume that support for vulnerable, disenfranchised individuals does not generate enough social media clout. "There, but for the grace of God, go I" Keep on keeping on
I have been on the streets. What do people expect you to do to get through it. Not drugs for me but wine to get to sleep through the cold and rain. The term broken doesn't come near. I am still broken and no longer trust others. The abuse is unreal, the people trying to be kind was soul destroying they would give food not money. That food was unhealthy and not something my body needed. I obviously accepted gratefully but coins would have meant i could wash my clothes, get a nice meal not eaten off the floor and felt human again. At least for a couple of hours
Yes, I have seen people say they don't want to give money because it's a concern that they will spend on drugs or alcohol. But I think it's an insult for the homeless person to have the ability to make their own decisions in a way. I can see both sides.@@JennyMartinPhoto
how dare you say its a failing on the uk the people were never asked about mass migration hundreds of thousands of families coming here is unsustainable as we have all been screaming at you for years now we reap what they sowed allowing this flood of people
You voted for a criminal organisation called Tories for 14 years. You voted for Brexit, which has massively impoverished the country. And now You say that it is migrants' fault? You would better to address your intellectual incapability.
@@jonwoodmass2849 sadly it's the only way to get help, clean and sober? back of the queue! 99% of addicts are a lost cause, you can house them, give them money, set them up with a job, they'd still end up back on the street.
Immigration has destroyed Britain and British Culture. Our country is very depressing and impossible to be proud of, as it no longer belongs to the British born people. 😢
You should blame your Government and not immigration. Cornwall only have 4.9% of foreign born!! If you go to my country , Portugal you'll see the same issue you are complaining about, where houses have been bought by English , French etc....and residents have no choice but to leave and find somewhere affordable like I did. People don't leave their own country because they like it or want .....they do it because they need to in order to be able to survive! But most of you have no clue because you never had to leave your cushy life .
I worked with the homeless for 4 years and was homeless myself for 10+ years. Nothing has changed in decades, in fact its got a hell of a lot worse. I couldn't carry on in that sector because of the injustice i saw everyday, particularly immigrants being put up in hotels when our own people are literally left to rot on the streets 😔. Trust me when i say that this is only going to get worse, much worse.
Big money from London purchasing lots of houses to rent out in holiday season shouldn't be allowed. I wonder how much is being claimed as expenses for these second homes that are being leased out in holiday season. What chance have locals got??? Affordable housing should be a priority for all councils. UK Boarders should be closed until we have our own house in order. Vetted migrants welcome only after we've sorted our own problems !!!!!
I agree and she no doubt has to use her own money to get food. When I was homeless there was more help for women even if it was a refuge than men. It seems to be equal now. I was told by numerous charities and the council to sofa surf with friends or find family. You soon know who your friends are when you have nothing, if you have a dysfunctional family it can be even more trouble! Especially if they want money that you don't have.
I don’t think enough people realise the head of fury that’s building. Or maybe they think they can just hide from it. Well, they’re going to find out the hard way....
The girl in the blue tracksuit in the hotel that turned down one of the pods isn’t thinking straight! I would have jumped on one of those offers….Now they closed the door on her!! Good luck Cornwall. Same situation here in Canada🙏🏼🍀👋🏼🇨🇦
Currently in America. The 1% are paying less in taxes, and the insane cost of everything from rent, food and clothing due to their needing "record breaking profits" for the top brass and shareholders, whilst we pay the price. There is going to be a revolt, eventually, and the filthy rich will hide in their "panic room" and again, we will pay.
I'm denying it! There's a connection between rich people getting richer and richer and investing ruthlessly into houses which they then rent out to other rich people who come from outside the UK having no clue what the prices really are - so they pay 2000£ monthly rent for some stylish den. That way the price for rent becomes unaffordable. It's not the ones who are still more miserable than you who are the problem. It's the reckless, irresponsible, capitalist, egocentric "investors"! And the short-sighted city administrations who allow them to act that way! Stop selling out property to foreigners! Stop transferring homes into airB&B!
A lot of MPs have shares with Serco who look after the immigrants. MPs get richer by the day, not forgetting most MPs are landlords, so if they house the migrants they can get more expenses. It's corruption to the core.
Mental health is the main problem a lot of these people on the streets need support not just a roof over there head , many are incapable of the responsibility of running a house etc
@@Freiya2011 so how come the rent isn't 'too expensive' for asylum seekers? The government have spent £150,000 on five and seven year leases for properties on the private rental market as well as having almost 5000 hotel beds in reserve but both are exclusively available to asylum seekers. It's ridiculous to believe there's not a major link between the two
I'm not in the UK but in the US. I am 67 years old and disabled. I have what in the UK would be called a pension and my deceased husband's military retirement. I live in an overpriced apartment (flat) for $1450./month. There are no windows to the outside so I never know if it's daylight or dark. My monthly Social Security cheque is $1500. I too am looking into finding an affordable bus or van to renovate into living quarters for one. I don't know how I'll do the renovations by myself at my age and disability but I know I cannot afford to pay to have it done even though I do know how to do it myself. I too live in a beach tourist area where the shop help and food service workers are paid minimum wage. I guess they have partners or family to live with. This was a basically affordable area where you could buy a small home that needed some work for $150K but that has more than doubled in six years. I despair for what the next generation will have to deal with but I am more concerned with getting through the remainder of my life with a roof over my head.
Oh dear, I hope thing's turn out for the best. I'm a bit younger than you & have been extremely lucky to have been housed by my local council. If it were taken from me I don't think I'd survive out there & I worry for my kids. Anyway, I'm sending good vibes to you & hopefully you'll get through. All the best sweety🎉
@@Cedawood The loneliness is just now becoming an issue but I'm going to look into some therapy and try to get out and around other people. Thank you for your interest and good wishes.
@@rhondacrosswhite8048 I totally understand that!!! I don't know a lot about how things work in America, but if you are able to get out maybe look at places where one can have meet ups & or gentle exercise groups, etc. I'm sure you know all this & some things are easier said than done. Anyway, thanks for your reply & kind word's too! Best wishes from Sophie. X
Good luck to you. Get out, as best you can manage, and let the light hit your face, and find somewhere safe you can be around others. Don’t give up the roof over your head. In Britain, this is a different problem. We have the council houses for everyone homeless, but they are full of immigrants.
Supply and demand pushes prices up, it's a capitalists dream, profiteering from the dismal situation created by those in power policies. They should build millions of more houses but then they wouldn't be able to charge extortionate rents etc
I've been homeless for 3 years and 16 months ago I survived several injuries that just made my mobility problems worse. God commands us to care for the weak and the frail. America has failed me as a medically vulnerable senior citizen.
I live in filey in North Yorkshire , its a very small seaside village but every year we are inundated with holiday makers, we have huge static caravan parks all around us but so many houses now belong to second home owners so they have taken all the house that locals would be able to rent. They rent them out during the summer and they stand empty the rest of the year it's disgraceful we have businesses we own and kids in school etc but can't find a property to rent. The council need to stop people being allowed to buy second homes here , if they want a holiday home buy a bloody static home on the parks which are designed for that and leave our homes alone.
They can't stop anyone from buying because they need the proceeds , taxes and so on to pay for other services. They need to build more affordable homes to solve the issue but they don't , that's the main issue .
Yes property market and laws are the problem in England. Unfortunately free market capitalist thinking is to blame historically. Change the system to inclusive socialist values?
It’s wrong on many levels - our government don’t care about our English people on the streets - yet they spend billions each year housing and looking after complete ‘illegal’ immigrants
The charity woman who says 'we havent got many migrants here' - no you haven't because they are all in the 4 star hotels before being given a house above those who have being waiting years for one love thats why!
All the houses have been sold of to rich people so they can have a second home. LOL you can blame immigrants all you like, But this is Britain. If you dont want a sh1t life, be rich :P
These people a crazy … has nobody told that all you gotta do is swim out 100 yards into the sea , pretend you can’t speak English , put on a funny accent and say “me no understand, me scared, flee flee bad things” AND then you’ll be handed everything on a plate!!
@rayholmes4402 - 🤔hmmm... I'm sure the Home-Office is doing a wonderful job, vetting all these "visitors", making sure who deserves asylum, and who will be deported! ... Just that they are keeping things secret, the public needn't be kept informed! 🤐
This is so wrong! People born and raised in this country are forced to live on the streets, but if you’re an illegal immigrant you’ll get put up in a hotel, get fed, kept warm, and given free access to doctors and dentists. Something very, very wrong in a country that lets this happen
Yeah asylum seekers are getting it nice in this country,get everything they need so they don't want for anything.the government should be supporting there own people and get this issue sorted cause it can be done if we looked after our own
If you're living on the street I imagine the need to get off your head and out of the vicious reality - through alcohol or other drugs - is a necessary coping mechanism.
Prioritising illegal migrants over natural British citizens shows the contempt westminster has for the citizens that PAY their wages . This country has gone to the dogs
Exactly 💯 how many people come home from work and open a bottle or have a 🚬 At the moment most of the country is self medicating 😢 But we expect Our homeless to live in a box and just deal with it😢 I think the Majority ofus would need something to get through a night sleeping rough 😘❤️🙏
@@kambe9713lot of petty crime and prostitution. Shop lifting etc. If someone has a class A habit and is habitually offending to feed that over maintaing occupancy even in say a temporary housing unit which may not be ideal but surely would beat being outside, you can be fairly sure they will be getting decent money but if they are at that stage of sustaining £100s a day on drugs alone things are clearly going to be tricky.
I went to Leeds recently, have to say what an eye-opener. Many homless people scattered around the city centre. Some sleeping in bus shelters too. A far cry from the city I saw a few years ago.
Wait a minute. Outside of UK so may not understand. But do we not have a Duke and Duchess of Cornwall? And isn’t their £1.2B income from rents in Cornwall? Do they not own most of Cornwall as a private estate? What about the hardships in this documentary and the riches of this Royal family? Are you all liking this?
If the so called Great King Charles is supporting this madness (which he obviously is seeing as he reigns over this country) He has a vast amount of massive properties, Buckingham Palace being one and he cannot possibly need so many rooms. Therefore, why doesn't he section it off and put all the boat people in there, after all, he is not doing anything about them invading his country is he? Why have we even got Royals now, they are not fit for purpose.
Problem is most of the people banging on about the housing crisis are the same ones calling you a waycist just for having an opinion on immigration. Think long and hard about having kids in this country if you are lower level as your guarantee about being looked after by state is slowly eroding and as we see you will be below some immigrant just arrived in the pecking order of handouts.
If this government wasn't wasting our money on hotel bills for boat people there would be money to help people like this shame on this government for putting the boat people first.
If conservatives get in power again the unelected prime minister pledges to strip all benefits from millions of people if they don't find work within 12 months, with the help of the work coach, so that's the sick, disabled etc without support, will make homeless people in the millions if the tyrant has his way, he even said he's stripping the doctors abilities to write sick notes 😡
I remember a handful of years ago whinging about the 12 million or so annually spent on foreign aid, we're now on between 8- 12 a day for foreigners aid, oh how we were so spoilt back then........ 🧐
Same thing happening in Inverness. I used to live in Inverness 5 years ago before moving to Glasgow outskirts area. I was looking forward to move back to Inverness because I love Highlands, but having seen how the rents skyrocketed there I'm pretty much stuck where I am now. So many B&B, airnb, holiday rentals, second homes... whatever is there left to rent has London rents.
She didn't have too, I wanted to build a disability house using our own money and was turned down. The only form of housing they offered her was for me to put her in the Foster system until i had found suitable accommodation for her. Have that on an email from adult social care cornwall
It's a lack pf housing for local population, airbnb and hotels are more profitable than making homes for private or social renting. Cornwall has 96.8% white. So it's clearly not immigrants is it? It's local policy and the pull factors of being a seaside town.
I'm 75 ,i live with my youngest son, his wife and my grandson , I dont have much but I'm grateful for what i have , I help with the bills here I get what I need
Disgusting how could you let this family with disable kids leave like this.The govt should help first this family who needed help before thinking about immigrants priorities should be for people in this country.
Antony Taylors story is absolutely heart breaking.. I'm lucky to own my own house now but I was on the streets from 2006 to 20010...i had to move from Birmingham 30 mile down the road to Worcester to find the help I needed in shelters.
My partner lives in Brighton, and when I go down to visit, all you see is homeless ppl in tents living along sea front and in town, it's terrible then I come bk up to West Yorkshire and the same problem up here, help our own first before helping ppl from other countries.. 🤬🤬🤬
i live in a (formally nice) little uk village, i have found people living in cars and checked on them here before, if i told people they would be shocked but its just in local doctors car park, i see more campers/ mobile homes too, sometimes in a country lane..
Being pushed out like the cuckoo situation, marginalised by over influx into the country, this creates a massive housing crisis, unfortunately its only getting worse until the pressure eases, all the politicians fault entirely
As GDP increases the majority get poorer which us why it's a useless measurement of our economic success particularly as it's been artifically boosted by population increase via mass immmigration. When you hear the words 'we need to grow the economy' it simply means we need more immigration to boost GDP but without the necessary investment in infrastructure and housing.
I'm 53, divorced and been homeless nearly 2 years. I work full time and have long term health conditions. Homechoice is pointless, private renting is unaffordable after I've paid my child maintenance and my ex wife went bankrupt after we separated and ruin my credit rating. I don't have any debt, don't use any non prescription drugs and don't drink. Sleeping in a car exacerbates my health problems, trying to stay clean and tidy for work appearances is difficult. My diet is terrible and I have lost so much weight I'm now classed as malnourished. I only see my children for short periods because they can't stay over with me. I'm not living, I'm existing. If you are homeless and work there is no help and I don't want to claim benefits and stop working. The system that is supposedly there to help, just creates misery and despair. What's the point of it all.
It's not the publics job to sort this, it's the fault of successive governments ignoring and failing to address the issue! Somehow we manage to house half the worlds dispossessed in 4 star luxury.
No barges or hotel rooms for Brits? According to reports the number of homeless in Cornwall is 'estimated' to be 1500. It is in all probability MUCH higher. 1500 people? That's just THREE DAYS worth of ARRIVALS. Can we TRULY not find a way to accommodate our OWN?!!! The real irony here is that although Cornwall is one of the Biggest Counties in the UK it has probably the LOWEST quota of Migrants, Refugees and Asylum seekers allocated to them!
Supply and demand issues, with wage increases causes inflation to rise, all roads lead to too many people wanting things which we can't supply, so the pressure is alleviated by inflation rises to sort the situation out. Millions of less people would fix the problem, but millions arrive annually making the situation much worse anyone with half a brain should be able to see that.
Same in Worthing.. Locals elderly and Veterans sleeping in the bushes while huge numbers of Kurds Afghans and Syrians are beautifully accommodated .. When our Council said publicly that not one of these foreign Nationals had been given a Council House, they were being devious and dishonest.. So its true none were given council housing stock, but all were accommodated in the private sector, which of course we pay for .. Worse still, greedy landlords, realising these immigrants will be accommodated regardless, shove their tenants out under false pretences and immediately fill their properties with the immigrants, with the murky agencies facilitating this, able to pay up to six time the usual rent.. We have failed our people whilst bending over backwards to meet the needs of illegals and foreign Nationals .. Absolutely disgusting
It's not just immigrants,that's what they want you to think, what about the massive rents landlords are allowed to charge, the billions of tax money the government has given it's mates,the fact they have almost stopped building council or affordable houses etc
How many landlords have sold off the properties out from underneath these renters? How many of these people were kicked out so that the landlords could make them into airbnb's? Airbnb has completely destroyed housing and no one wants to talk about it.
I live in a similar tourist town in Australia and we also have a LOT of homeless and van dwellers. My theory is ban that awful awful air BnB. it has stripped so many residences out of the rental market into the holiday lets. SO many stand empty in between the seasons. Makes my blood boil. The flip side is there are other places not in this popular destination with lots of accomodation, but a lot of the young folk affected by this want to live here even though they realistically cant afford it.
And let's ban the ability of rich, absent overseas investors like the Chinese, buying up expensive properties and leaving these houses empty and untenanted, whilst pushing up house prices beyond the reach of the average Australian.
The pods are a great interim step - they just need to put them in more conspicuous places (like the grounds of Buckingham Palace etc) to shame the government into fixing the situation.
This is why some local councils here in New Zealand introduced an Air B&B tax, to deter landlords in holiday locations from turning all the rentals into air B&B’s.
Exactly those living there cornwall this is the truth so many walk about blind 😮 and judge 👨⚖️ i pray for all those who's heart ❤️ really wants to change from old circs to new lives with the willingness where support help guidance and most of all the love that should be there for them ..... i know and on many occasions had my own battles that have taken me what i would word hells knocking door.

I left Cornwall a few years ago but return often to visit family etc... I went to Newquay tip for my mother and was shocked at how many new builds have sprung up. Who are they for??
The vastly overpopulated United Kingdom is in such a serious state of decline and decay in so many different areas and this mass invasion of immigrants is contributing detrimentally, negatively and massively to the myriad of problems we as a nation are now confronted with.
It's scary they are building homes first not the infrastructure. Near where I live they have built on the flood plains and the houses are always in repair due to the awful materials used.
How should the government solve this crisis? Let us know what it is like where you are!
It is not up to the government to "solve" this crisis, but it is up to the government to move all its rules and regulations out of the way and let the free market resolve the issues of supply and demand.
Stop the flood of immigrants? For at least 10 years
Stop the boats
Which would ‘free’ the money from the illegals
The billions extra money will help build social housing - our homeless

It's horrendous in the UK for young folk these days. Looking back to 1991, my partner was pregnant and we got a mortgage on an old house for 22,000 pounds. I was a bus driver on 10,500 pounds a year. The mortgage was 110 pounds a month which was about 15% of my wages. My missus didn't need to work. Nowadays, a bus driver earns 3 times as much as I did in 1991, but house prices are 10-15 times as higher than 1991.... Now that's the problem!
Are native brits breeding more now than we did in the 80s/90s?
I don’t think so! Statistically we are choosing to have smaller families and children much later.
So how do we not have enough housing in 2024?
Answer 1 - mass unregulated immigration.
Answer 2 - local housing being brought by non locals and turned into HMOs or air BNBs for greedy landlords.
3. Spending billions on illegal immigrants.
For Cornwall it's purely the government types, boris Johnson for example own homes here to come down in the summer. I used to live in a village where 80% of the homes were empty year round. When my mum grew up there, the entire place was lived in. Our generation is suffering through the greed of the baby boomers
The white population of this earth peaked in 1930. If you look at the population of major cities they're often lower than they were then even with our foreign friends. London peaked 1939,paris in 1922, Manhattan in 1910, Berlin 1939, my home city is still 50,000 shy of its 350,00 peak.
I've never seen anyone go into real detail on this matter. As for the choosing to have less children take a look at the of abortions per year, the culture is the problem not the housing.
Personally I think bankruptcy is our only hope.
@@just_em_jayWasting billions on Brexit making the rich richer offshore.
You are right about our population. In fact the world population (surprisingly) is predicted to slow down (which surely is a good thing.) There are so many 2nd (or even 3rd or 4th homes - yes, really - l have lived and worked in the next county along which has a similar problem with housing - l personally knew of people who truly had more '2nd homes' than you could count on one hand.) I really don't think constantly building is necessary - just use the current housing stock better - this programme highlighted this when talking about the problem not being as out of control before masses of homes got bought up in 2020. Places like St.Ives are now bringing in tougher rules about 2nd homes - the rest of these places need to have the 'courage' (and honesty) to do the same.
The man with the Bus has done an amazing job. Inspirational. I wish them all the best.
More taliban here than in Afghanistan and the government are housing them. Won't end well for any of us.
Bringing in the ones their own country doesn’t want!
Don't forget the £187 million this traitorous government gave them in "overseas aid" (i.e bribes),.or the fact the government doesn't recognise them as a terrorist organisation.
They own all the empty 2nd homes 😂🤦♂️
Comment deleted when mentioning the government's £187 million aid to Afghanistan.
We can't possibly have FACTS in the comments sections.
The UK shouldn't have invaded Afghanistan then.
Looking at these comments I can see that the British people know exactly what the problem is even though it wasn’t mentioned in the video, illegal immigration and government policy’s that favour this.
No not the main problem. UK has not innovated anything in decades and a large percentage of people used to benefits for living.
I'm 64 and disabled/unable to work. I'm 'lucky' to live in a tiny council flat - but at least I have one, and have a roof over my head. I had to go to the local Pantry today. I don't drive and it's a struggle to get there. I haven't been for over 3 weeks because of the difficulty getting to and from there. It's very good as its £5 for the bus fare, + £5 for £20 worth of food - it's a Godsend. It takes me 4 to 5 hours for the round trip, due to the horrendous bus service (it'd take 40 minutes round trip in a car). I'm always very ill by the time I get home, and am wiped out for the next few days. 90% of the people who go there, are foreigners - they live within walking distance of the church where it's held. Today, they said we could have one extra 'luxury item' as its their 2nd year of being. Open. I was number 18 in the queue. EVERY foreigner came out, with their items, and large tubs of Quality Street chocolates, or 2 boxes of chocolates. When it got to my turn, I was given a small pack of low calorie 5 pack of cereal bars!!! There were tubs of chocolates available, but I was told 'they weren't for me'!!! Other English people had the same as me - the large boxes and tubs were only available to the foreigners!!!!!! I know this isn't anywhere near as awful as being homeless, but I just wanted to point out the truth of how us indigenous people are treated VERY differently to foreigners. It's despicable and latent.
I feel like I am living in a foreign country, yet I am a 50 year old indigenous English born white man.
I live in a converted garage and it costs me £900 per month.
Take care, stay safe 🙏
to both of you,its very disappointing to hear of your own experiences but in this day and age it's not surprising.its sad times indeed!
I am ashamed of my country I am so sorry that you are treated like this. 😢
That's very saddening to hear, why on earth weren't you 'allowed' chocolate as well?
And most of them get all the good benefits aswell probably go out and beg then go use food banks ,they know how to come over here and take us for everything they can
Horrendous. Thankyou for highlighting these problems in a great many of our seaside towns. A real eye-opener. 💕
Basically the woman who left abusive relationship is homeless whilst her criminal ex is in prison with a roof over his head and 3 square meals a day. Wheres the justice in that? Sums this country up...
Looking after the enemy, Uk's good at that.
I’m guessing drugs and alcohol are involved in her situation. There was no need to leave the home she was in as he’s in prison, they probably wasn’t paying the rent and they got evicted.
Your guessing, you don't know what happened.
@@clairefitzpatrick7183 that’s why I said I’m guessing 🙄
She could work and contribute to the household instead of relying entirely on her companion.
Homelessness is a massive problem everywhere. I left the wife last year due to domestic abuse & lived in a Mini for 3 months. I work & earn the most I've ever earned although it's only a bit above minimum wage. I could rent a 1 bed flat where I live for 3 weeks wages. The 4th weeks wage would hopefully cover the extortionate bills & fraudulent claims such as council tax but that's not a given. So, I work 50-60 hours a week to live in a box & rely on a food bank to eat with nothing left for any kind of pleasure whatsoever. Can someone, anyone, make that make sense to me??? What that is, is modern day slavery whith chains you can't see. While I lived in the mini I saved & bought a van which I now live in full time. I still work & it works for me. I love the way I live now but if anything happens to my van, I'll be street homeless, losing everything, again, for the 5th time! I don't do poor me, I just work hard to make my life how I want it to be & try to help others. If you see a homeless person speak to them. Acknowledge they are there ffs. The worst part of street homeless for me, is being invisible to the flag waving virtue signallers. You'll take in a Ukranian from a fake war but can't bare to even look at the homeless guy, sat freezing outside Tesco!

I was homeless for two years. People don't realise how many just ended up there through bad times. I've seen many people that are pretty normal people become homeless that are now substance abusers or alcoholics. You try living like that without anything to numb it. Especially through winter. I have my own place again now and I'm moving forward but yeah, I did drugs and drank when I was homeless. It made it so much easier to deal with it. That's the reality of it. At first it's easier to deal with, then it starts to get at you. Then you start breaking down slowly and the harder it gets the more it gets at you making it harder still again. And then you get hit by winter which hits your body. You get through it. Move on. Get on with things. Then another winter starts approaching....
The lack of compassion for those who fall on tough times is depressing and rather bizarre.
The current ethos will accept all kinds of criminal or unsavoury behaviour, yet the judgement levied at our most unfortunate is harsh and unforgiving.
I may be cynical but I can only assume that support for vulnerable, disenfranchised individuals does not generate enough social media clout.

I have been on the streets. What do people expect you to do to get through it. Not drugs for me but wine to get to sleep through the cold and rain. The term broken doesn't come near. I am still broken and no longer trust others. The abuse is unreal, the people trying to be kind was soul destroying they would give food not money. That food was unhealthy and not something my body needed. I obviously accepted gratefully but coins would have meant i could wash my clothes, get a nice meal not eaten off the floor and felt human again. At least for a couple of hours
Yes, I have seen people say they don't want to give money because it's a concern that they will spend on drugs or alcohol. But I think it's an insult for the homeless person to have the ability to make their own decisions in a way. I can see both sides.@@JennyMartinPhoto

Immigration has destroyed Britain and British Culture.
Our country is very depressing and impossible to be proud of, as it no longer belongs to the British born people. 😢
You should blame your Government and not immigration. Cornwall only have 4.9% of foreign born!! If you go to my country , Portugal you'll see the same issue you are complaining about, where houses have been bought by English , French etc....and residents have no choice but to leave and find somewhere affordable like I did.
People don't leave their own country because they like it or want .....they do it because they need to in order to be able to survive! But most of you have no clue because you never had to leave your cushy life .
I worked with the homeless for 4 years and was homeless myself for 10+ years. Nothing has changed in decades, in fact its got a hell of a lot worse. I couldn't carry on in that sector because of the injustice i saw everyday, particularly immigrants being put up in hotels when our own people are literally left to rot on the streets 😔. Trust me when i say that this is only going to get worse, much worse.
Big money from London purchasing lots of houses to rent out in holiday season shouldn't be allowed. I wonder how much is being claimed as expenses for these second homes that are being leased out in holiday season. What chance have locals got??? Affordable housing should be a priority for all councils.
UK Boarders should be closed until we have our own house in order. Vetted migrants welcome only after we've sorted our own problems !!!!!
The lady that cooks for all those people is a saint. God bless her for the work she does. All this homelessness seems to be a problem everywhere now.
I agree and she no doubt has to use her own money to get food. When I was homeless there was more help for women even if it was a refuge than men. It seems to be equal now. I was told by numerous charities and the council to sofa surf with friends or find family. You soon know who your friends are when you have nothing, if you have a dysfunctional family it can be even more trouble! Especially if they want money that you don't have.

Greetings from Australia
Currently in America. The 1% are paying less in taxes, and the insane cost of everything from rent, food and clothing due to their needing "record breaking profits" for the top brass and shareholders, whilst we pay the price. There is going to be a revolt, eventually, and the filthy rich will hide in their "panic room" and again, we will pay.
And NewZealand! J
How anyone can deny the link between our own citizens being homeless and immigration
I'm denying it! There's a connection between rich people getting richer and richer and investing ruthlessly into houses which they then rent out to other rich people who come from outside the UK having no clue what the prices really are - so they pay 2000£ monthly rent for some stylish den. That way the price for rent becomes unaffordable. It's not the ones who are still more miserable than you who are the problem. It's the reckless, irresponsible, capitalist, egocentric "investors"! And the short-sighted city administrations who allow them to act that way! Stop selling out property to foreigners! Stop transferring homes into airB&B!
A lot of MPs have shares with Serco who look after the immigrants. MPs get richer by the day, not forgetting most MPs are landlords, so if they house the migrants they can get more expenses. It's corruption to the core.
Mental health is the main problem a lot of these people on the streets need support not just a roof over there head , many are incapable of the responsibility of running a house etc
@@Freiya2011 so how come the rent isn't 'too expensive' for asylum seekers? The government have spent £150,000 on five and seven year leases for properties on the private rental market as well as having almost 5000 hotel beds in reserve but both are exclusively available to asylum seekers. It's ridiculous to believe there's not a major link between the two
@@stephenm8898 You're falling for hate-speeches... capitalism is the key love, not refugees!
I'm not in the UK but in the US. I am 67 years old and disabled. I have what in the UK would be called a pension and my deceased husband's military retirement. I live in an overpriced apartment (flat) for $1450./month. There are no windows to the outside so I never know if it's daylight or dark. My monthly Social Security cheque is $1500. I too am looking into finding an affordable bus or van to renovate into living quarters for one. I don't know how I'll do the renovations by myself at my age and disability but I know I cannot afford to pay to have it done even though I do know how to do it myself. I too live in a beach tourist area where the shop help and food service workers are paid minimum wage. I guess they have partners or family to live with. This was a basically affordable area where you could buy a small home that needed some work for $150K but that has more than doubled in six years. I despair for what the next generation will have to deal with but I am more concerned with getting through the remainder of my life with a roof over my head.

Good luck to you. Get out, as best you can manage, and let the light hit your face, and find somewhere safe you can be around others. Don’t give up the roof over your head. In Britain, this is a different problem. We have the council houses for everyone homeless, but they are full of immigrants.
Supply and demand pushes prices up, it's a capitalists dream, profiteering from the dismal situation created by those in power policies.
They should build millions of more houses but then they wouldn't be able to charge extortionate rents etc
I've been homeless for 3 years and 16 months ago I survived several injuries that just made my mobility problems worse. God commands us to care for the weak and the frail. America has failed me as a medically vulnerable senior citizen.
I live in filey in North Yorkshire , its a very small seaside village but every year we are inundated with holiday makers, we have huge static caravan parks all around us but so many houses now belong to second home owners so they have taken all the house that locals would be able to rent. They rent them out during the summer and they stand empty the rest of the year it's disgraceful we have businesses we own and kids in school etc but can't find a property to rent. The council need to stop people being allowed to buy second homes here , if they want a holiday home buy a bloody static home on the parks which are designed for that and leave our homes alone.
Exactly the same as Windermere
They can't stop anyone from buying because they need the proceeds , taxes and so on to pay for other services. They need to build more affordable homes to solve the issue but they don't , that's the main issue .

This is so wrong! People born and raised in this country are forced to live on the streets, but if you’re an illegal immigrant you’ll get put up in a hotel, get fed, kept warm, and given free access to doctors and dentists. Something very, very wrong in a country that lets this happen
Yeah asylum seekers are getting it nice in this country,get everything they need so they don't want for anything.the government should be supporting there own people and get this issue sorted cause it can be done if we looked after our own
If you're living on the street I imagine the need to get off your head and out of the vicious reality - through alcohol or other drugs - is a necessary coping mechanism.

Do they not own most of Cornwall as a private estate? What about the hardships in this documentary and the riches of this Royal family? Are you all liking this?
If the so called Great King Charles is supporting this madness (which he obviously is seeing as he reigns over this country) He has a vast amount of massive properties, Buckingham Palace being one and he cannot possibly need so many rooms.

Problem is most of the people banging on about the housing crisis are the same ones calling you a waycist just for having an opinion on immigration. Think long and hard about having kids in this country if you are lower level as your guarantee about being looked after by state is slowly eroding and as we see you will be below some immigrant just arrived in the pecking order of handouts.

I remember a handful of years ago whinging about the 12 million or so annually spent on foreign aid, we're now on between 8- 12 a day for foreigners aid, oh how we were so spoilt back then........ 🧐
Absolutely heartbroken 💔
Same thing happening in Inverness. I used to live in Inverness 5 years ago before moving to Glasgow outskirts area. I was looking forward to move back to Inverness because I love Highlands, but having seen how the rents skyrocketed there I'm pretty much stuck where I am now. So many B&B, airnb, holiday rentals, second homes... whatever is there left to rent has London rents.
Unbelievable to read comments blaming immigrants for all of the UK problems and not the scheming politicians.
They're pretty much linked, they come over with little resistance from the government.
21 billion last year
The council have someone with CP living in a bus........WTF?!?!
What is cp?

@@kellyrobinson6663 Disgusting
She didn't have too, I wanted to build a disability house using our own money and was turned down. The only form of housing they offered her was for me to put her in the Foster system until i had found suitable accommodation for her. Have that on an email from adult social care cornwall

People on the street, if the law to criminalize gets passed should be able to sue the council for not providing basic human necessities.
it's not a lack of housing, it's too many visitors.
They aren't visiting unfortunately
@@moosky7344 I have to be careful what I write, wouldn't want to commit a hate crime.
It's a lack pf housing for local population, airbnb and hotels are more profitable than making homes for private or social renting. Cornwall has 96.8% white. So it's clearly not immigrants is it? It's local policy and the pull factors of being a seaside town.
and parents popping out kids
Second homes and illegal immigrants.
That poor girl Hanna , this is dispicable 😢
As a brit in florida same thing. Rents are so high people on streets with dogs and kids
I'm 75 ,i live with my youngest son, his wife and my grandson , I dont have much but I'm grateful for what i have , I help with the bills here I get what I need
Disgusting how could you let this family with disable kids leave like this.The govt should help first this family who needed help before thinking about immigrants priorities should be for people in this country.
Antony Taylors story is absolutely heart breaking.. I'm lucky to own my own house now but I was on the streets from 2006 to 20010...i had to move from Birmingham 30 mile down the road to Worcester to find the help I needed in shelters.
Live in sussex all coastal towns been left to rot.
My partner lives in Brighton, and when I go down to visit, all you see is homeless ppl in tents living along sea front and in town, it's terrible then I come bk up to West Yorkshire and the same problem up here, help our own first before helping ppl from other countries.. 🤬🤬🤬
Dark side? You say it like it's news, the British have always been put last.
i live in a (formally nice) little uk village, i have found people living in cars and checked on them here before, if i told people they would be shocked but its just in local doctors car park, i see more campers/ mobile homes too, sometimes in a country lane..
Being pushed out like the cuckoo situation, marginalised by over influx into the country, this creates a massive housing crisis, unfortunately its only getting worse until the pressure eases, all the politicians fault entirely
What a terrible state this country is in. Absolute shambles.
As GDP increases the majority get poorer which us why it's a useless measurement of our economic success particularly as it's been artifically boosted by population increase via mass immmigration. When you hear the words 'we need to grow the economy' it simply means we need more immigration to boost GDP but without the necessary investment in infrastructure and housing.
Yet GDP is not increasing.
I'm 53, divorced and been homeless nearly 2 years.
I work full time and have long term health conditions.
Homechoice is pointless, private renting is unaffordable after I've paid my child maintenance and my ex wife went bankrupt after we separated and ruin my credit rating. I don't have any debt, don't use any non prescription drugs and don't drink.
Sleeping in a car exacerbates my health problems, trying to stay clean and tidy for work appearances is difficult. My diet is terrible and I have lost so much weight I'm now classed as malnourished.
I only see my children for short periods because they can't stay over with me.
I'm not living, I'm existing.
If you are homeless and work there is no help and I don't want to claim benefits and stop working. The system that is supposedly there to help, just creates misery and despair. What's the point of it all.
We're giving Aid all around the world but we can't look after our own...

There is no money to be made, when they send money over it gets washed and used for bribery/corruption and never-ending wars.
Yes, it is true. Homeless men and women are sleeping in the bus stops, bushes, parks, forests and shopfronts of Britain. 😢
I’m so ANGRY!
Shared to Dorset. Thank you for making this film
It's not the publics job to sort this, it's the fault of successive governments ignoring and failing to address the issue!
Somehow we manage to house half the worlds dispossessed in 4 star luxury.
Statistics also show British are having children much later in life birth rate in England 1.47 per child.
The public go to work to pay taxes or the government steal out taxes you think they would at least put it to the right places but they don't sadly!
No barges or hotel rooms for Brits?
According to reports the number of homeless in Cornwall is 'estimated' to be 1500. It is in all probability MUCH higher.
1500 people? That's just THREE DAYS worth of ARRIVALS.
Can we TRULY not find a way to accommodate our OWN?!!!
The real irony here is that although Cornwall is one of the Biggest Counties in the UK it has probably the LOWEST quota of Migrants, Refugees and Asylum seekers allocated to them!
Accommodation costs have spiralled out of control while wages have largely stagnated.
Supply and demand issues, with wage increases causes inflation to rise, all roads lead to too many people wanting things which we can't supply, so the pressure is alleviated by inflation rises to sort the situation out. Millions of less people would fix the problem, but millions arrive annually making the situation much worse anyone with half a brain should be able to see that.
But u turn up on a boat u get a lovely hotel absolute disgrace
Same in Worthing.. Locals elderly and Veterans sleeping in the bushes while huge numbers of Kurds Afghans and Syrians are beautifully accommodated .. When our Council said publicly that not one of these foreign Nationals had been given a Council House, they were being devious and dishonest.. So its true none were given council housing stock, but all were accommodated in the private sector, which of course we pay for .. Worse still, greedy landlords, realising these immigrants will be accommodated regardless, shove their tenants out under false pretences and immediately fill their properties with the immigrants, with the murky agencies facilitating this, able to pay up to six time the usual rent.. We have failed our people whilst bending over backwards to meet the needs of illegals and foreign Nationals .. Absolutely disgusting
so the south west is more worried about net zero and 20mph speed limits.
These people dont serve the people.
It's not just immigrants,that's what they want you to think, what about the massive rents landlords are allowed to charge, the billions of tax money the government has given it's mates,the fact they have almost stopped building council or affordable houses etc
This is what our leaders have done bloody great ain’t it what a pit we have become
Same happening in Canada, America, Australia, Ireland, all places where liberals and globalists rule free for all give away to millions of newcomers 😢
How many landlords have sold off the properties out from underneath these renters? How many of these people were kicked out so that the landlords could make them into airbnb's? Airbnb has completely destroyed housing and no one wants to talk about it.
I live in a similar tourist town in Australia and we also have a LOT of homeless and van dwellers. My theory is ban that awful awful air BnB. it has stripped so many residences out of the rental market into the holiday lets. SO many stand empty in between the seasons. Makes my blood boil. The flip side is there are other places not in this popular destination with lots of accomodation, but a lot of the young folk affected by this want to live here even though they realistically cant afford it.
And let's ban the ability of rich, absent overseas investors like the Chinese, buying up expensive properties and leaving these houses empty and untenanted, whilst pushing up house prices beyond the reach of the average Australian.
Should have arrived in a dinghy.
The pods are a great interim step - they just need to put them in more conspicuous places (like the grounds of Buckingham Palace etc) to shame the government into fixing the situation.
This is why some local councils here in New Zealand introduced an Air B&B tax, to deter landlords in holiday locations from turning all the rentals into air B&B’s.
NZ has a whole separate poverty problem that isn't being faced 😅
B n B tax is the way to go! Common sense.
@rebeccaRYX87, then tourism will be affected. Surely.
Exactly those living there cornwall this is the truth so many walk about blind 😮 and judge 👨⚖️ i pray for all those who's heart ❤️ really wants to change from old circs to new lives with the willingness where support help guidance and most of all the love that should be there for them ..... i know and on many occasions had my own battles that have taken me what i would word hells knocking door. Thank you to all who have the heart ❤️ and passion to be apart of CHANGE in taking the misery away for genuine people who wish hope want & need a bit of help in opening spacific doors just like this one 🚪
The way the government solve these issues is by putting bars across benches and signs saying “no sleeping” then its job done really
I left Cornwall a few years ago but return often to visit family etc...
I went to Newquay tip for my mother and was shocked at how many new builds have sprung up. Who are they for??
Either right to buy new builds , or immigrants like their doing in my area of London .
The vastly overpopulated United Kingdom is in such a serious state of decline and decay in so many different areas and this mass invasion of immigrants is contributing detrimentally, negatively and massively to the myriad of problems we as a nation are now confronted with.
It's scary they are building homes first not the infrastructure. Near where I live they have built on the flood plains and the houses are always in repair due to the awful materials used.
