    I don't think you need to be an expert to see the inequality in the country..and the reasons for that inequality..

    Your right of course but tbh even with the inequality as it is now this still could be tackled without even infringing on their status quo

    I was pretending to be professional at the time pretty much like Kayode for much of his Oakwell career.

    Went to Manchester last month. 2 mins from the main entrance to Piccadilly station, must have been 10 or 11 tents just pitched up off the main road.. It's not a simple problem because some of these people will have been housed over and over again, either getting kicked out for random reasons or after so long on the streets, they actually struggle to live in real accommodation.

    Major thing isn't actually finding them somewhere to live, it's what happens to these people afterwards. There is only so much that society can do to support members of the public. At some point the will and determination has to come from within as well in terms of become self sufficient. But they do need help, with each case being different.

    It's a growing issue that needs to be tackled and not treated as some political game.

    I'm saddened that as a supposed civilised society we try to trivulise such a tragic event, "or it's ok it happens all over"!!!!!!!.

    What a sad state of offers that some poor bugger as died on the streets of this once great country, but to die in London, at the Houses of Parliament!!!!.

    Has this been shown on main stream TV??, if not we'll done Mr Corbyn for bringing it to my attention, and the attention of others.

    This isn't about politics, it's about caring for you're fellow Man!!!!.

    Sad times I'm afraid

    Having lived in a four bedroom house, and MD of my own company and a comfortable life.. I found myself being evicted from my home given 48 hours to leave.. I can assure you having the will and determination to get through it. can come second to having the will to live.. I was very fortunate to have some unbelievable friends who stepped in when my family abandoned me to save my life... Using the terminology THESE PEOPLE says a lot about the attitude prevailing. If I can become one of THESE PEOPLE.. anyone can.. whats the saying there but for the grace of God..

    I think I would rather be a fool, than someone who trivialises a tragedy like this by dismissing it as not a one off occurrence.. some how I think I know your political preference..

    A bit of an odd post, seeing as I have not once passed comment the incident, or any reaction to it.

    I wonder if the news NEARLY put corbyn off his three course lunch with the chaps?
    As for the poor soul who died along with the young lad who was stabbed to death, the politicians will no doubt pay heed for a short time but then it’s back to ignoring the issue for them.
