Most people don't realize just how easy it is to become homeless. I was very nearly homeless once. It just takes losing a job and having a bad run of luck. I was educated, hard working, able bodied, not a drug taker nor alcoholic. But I was in a strange town, with so no support system. It can happen so easily. So don't be smug and judgmental. Have empathy and compassion instead.

The Problems in Stoke-On-Trent are deep rooted, the main problem is that the minimum wage rules in stoke, its that simple! here is a simple question, would any of the MP's who sit in parliament expect their children too go into work and do back breaking work for a minimum wage week in week out? I think we all know the answer to that question, but the fact is this, the ruling classes bombard us with fairy tales about princes and princess's getting wed and lets have it right who are our politicians too point their fingers at any other country and lecture them about so called criminal acts, it wasn't so long ago that the large majority of the so called Right Honourable Members of Parliament were caught red handed thieving in some cases tens of thousands of pounds of tax payers money, did we see the police filming themselves as they used the "frontdoor Key" to batter their way in to the homes of said criminals filming the act of putting the offenders in hand-cuffs whilst their children screamed.........NO WE DID NOT,but trust me if it had been you or me living in a council property that's what would of happened. People trust me OPEN YOUR EYES and look around you Black White Asian young and old we are all in the same boat. Adios for now and peace be with you.

The problem is these people don't work not that they work minimum pay jobs. I don't want my kids doing a back breaking low paid job that's why it's important they try hard and choose the right career.

I live not far from stoke in a 54 flat care facility, we had a guy put in here as a tenant due to mobility difficulties, he was given a lovely flat, furnished, small charge out of his benefits for heat, light etc. The other residents rallied round to help him. One of the rules here is NO ILLEGAL DRUGS, within weeks the disruption caused by him and his "friends" trying to get in the building shouting and screaming at 1,2 and 3am, throwing stones at anyones windows to get them to let them in the building, ringing entry phones at all times, trying to get in flats of elderly and disabled people to steal, twice kicking in the front doors etc. He was warned abd warned and warned, after HUNDREDS of complaints his "friends" were served banning orders keeping them away so he couldnt get his drugs, he kicked off big time threatening staff and residents and when that didnt work he set fire to his flat by turning oven and cooking rings on full and pouring cooking oil on it. It took 12 firefighters 2 hours to make it safe. Obviously he was kicked out, it took 3 months of misery to 53 others tenants including his 95 year old neighbour to get rid of him. So do i have sympathy?? Not a lot.

Why is it that other people can get given a flat or house but these people can’t ? A lot of them have chose drink and drugs over everything and now pay the price. Life’s hard but it’s easier in uk than most places. Opportunity is everywhere. It shouldn’t make those who have taken advantage of the system feel bad for those who haven’t.

It’s disgusting treating homeless like this, shameful.

If you offer people places in hostels and they get kicked out for drug taking, what else can you do?

Expecting someone who cant afford a £100 rent to pay a £1000 fine is a level of stupidity that could only come from a councillor

You are quite right I don't know every body's situation , considering that there are thousands of homeless people they can't all say the same thing " I came from a bad home, or I was sexually abused," that seems to be the general reason a homeless person will give. I couldn't for the life of me live away from my home , and what happens to people who get to old to survive , where do the go ? It doesn't bear thinking about.

I'm sorry, but I was homeless for about 7 weeks. Slept rough etc etc etc. I have zero sympathy for any of them. They're all there through choice. None of them have to sleep rough. None of them have to be on drugs/drink and none of them have to be unemployed. This isn't an issue that needs any attention. If they want to be in a nice warm home with money in the bank, then they need to go get it. It's not the government's responsibility to help any of these people. Showing sympathy or giving them hand outs only enables them. Call me what you like, but I'm not wrong.

Steve Eyre Well done mate 👍🏻 But unfortunately not everyone has your mental strength ,A lot of people have deep mental scars originating from childhood sexual and or physical abuse etc. My son was diagnosed with schizophrenia when he was 18,If I stopped taking care of him or If something happens to me he'll be on the streets .my point is many of these people can't function like we can so are unable to help themselves.

why is giving someone a tent illegal?

Look at any city of the UK where the council is labour and you'll see a worrying but unsurprisingly worse. Don't confuse MPs with councils when you search

All the fine is for is to get the homeless put in prison for not being able to pay it. It's the easiest way for the government and local councils to get rough sleepers off the street. Many probably do deserve to be in prison because of the drugs, alcohol and behavior. But I feel sorry for the ones that ended up on the streets due to no fault of their own due to housing and finance issues or relationship breakdowns, abuse or mental health problems not caused by addiction

And I chose to move here from Cambridge 😂

To be fair after driving through the less savoury bits of cambridge recently I was happy to be on my way out of there 😂

It should be re-named.. Stoke on.. TENT

we can never ask why

Sounds like Stan an yvone keep refusing help in the attempt that they will be bumped further up the list for a house. They keep getting kicked out of places for drug use. You can only feel so much sympathy for them

Jannett is an angel.

Keep up the good work, Jeannette!

3:58 is that derrick acorah?

Ohhhh it's difficult to see such cringe from my home city. RIP SOT

£1000 says if every rough sleeper got themselves arrested and put in jail at a cost of £500 a week, within 6 months the council and the government would have shelters everywhere, Money talks, and the top brass don't like spending it, Jail would be my move if l lived on the streets, guaranteed

It’s stoke there isn’t any, I’m from Stoke-On-Trent. It’s not nice trust me this is 3 years ago, it’s much worse now! The police don’t do anything, nor does the council.

Iv always found stokies to be some of the friendliest people in the Uk despite the poor area they live in

What if the woman was abused / raped, and had the choice between comitting suicide or trying to escape the pain, for example? Sometimes it might not be all black and white
