heathenvampires: unfriendlygaysocialist: the-purity-of-nude-socialism: We’ve got people being
We’ve got people being offered housing in Manchester, a man that just lost his wife being forced to put his terrified children in another high rise, a man that lost his wife being shunted into an old folks home and case closed. And they’ve got no choice or they get this “walked out of the system voluntarily” label and that’s that.
Enough is enough, this is sick.
I’ve know the trap of ‘intentional homelessness’ make people suicidal in this country. It sends people mad. They can’t do this to them
This isn’t unique to Grenfell, if you apply for social housing due to homelessness you’re expected to be up to leaving the city (at least, it was when I had to fill those forms in after my mom kicked me out and I needed to get away from abusive then-boyfriend. Somehow I doubt things have changed for the better since)
