  • I met Damian tonight and his story is horrible, he’s been arrested for the crime of being homeless on the streets of Liverpool. Also I speak to Lee on camera, he’s happier now.

    Damian is such an intelligent, dignified and aware gentleman. He didn’t want pity, just a little fairness and to be heard. I hope he can find away out of his dilemma and that he gets the help he deserves. To not be able to enter the city centre to get help is absolutely scandalous.
    Thank you for these videos Kev.
    🙏❤️.x

    Following your videos for about a month and seeing the improvements you are making in networking and bringing awareness to the outreach groups is great work. You even seem to be happier now and excited by all the avenues available to help people you are discovering on your journey. The overall goal i would imagine is to link up all the outreach groups and make the council have to deal with the disgraceful situation they have let get completely out of control. Well done to you and all the others

And love what you are doing to showing no matter how bad it gets there is help out there, I think it’s the same in every major city definitely the same in Leicester with the homelessness, where I’m from
    Keep up the good work Lad 👍🤘

    Kev u have just raised awareness to me,i never thought that donated designer clothes would be passed down to the homeless, u reeled off a load of names then, and ive passed people in town thinking they are fake homeless cos they have these labelled clothes on,uve turned my head and i will think again, hope lots of people will turn up with vegetarian foods for Damien today and he gets well fed and watered,god bless its heartbreaking to watch this in the 21st century fgs,I'll say it again Kev....u are a saint for raising awareness

    • @Kevcupo

    All while they give houses and cash away to ethnic minorities in the name of equity. All the London boroughs are moving out tenants from social housing, and giving them the market value for their houses/flats as if they owned their homes with no mortgage. As part of this transfer of equity, they accept a house bought by the borough, as well as cash amount that adds up to the value of the social housing property in the Capital. You have to be an ethnic minority to get offered this deal. Locals in the areas are just catching on to what is happening and they are up in arms, but with a bought and paid for media, it goes no further.

    The bench thing is called hostile architecture - it’s common everywhere- check out what’s happening in New York - they have just begun to use it against illegal migrants - to deter them hanging on the streets begging. They use it to deter homeless crashing on benches

    • @Kevcupo

      I just think it’s wrong that it is purposely there to deter homeless people. If the council solved the problem, they wouldn’t need to waste money on uncomfortable benches

    I would agree with the hostile architecture if it was being replaced by other help for these people who choose the streets - I say choose not because I think they are scammers but because what’s on offer is worse than they can encounter on the streets - I know what some of the supported accommodation looks like and who is offering it - they are not all good people 😢

It was quite strange. 😮
