A £28 million fund to provide accommodation for the homeless established at the same time has yet to distribute any money, officials admitted yesterday. Three pilot areas have been identified but no grants have been made.
Publicity surrounding the recent death of a rough sleeper in Westminster Tube station, within feet of parliament's entrance, has focused attention on a rise in the numbers. The recent cold snap, which is thought to have contributed to the death of another man on Friday, has added to public concern.
Heather Wheeler, the minister responsible, said that the government would have a new strategy in place by July. A spokesman for the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government defended the delay on the grounds that the priority had been to establish an independent panel including charity heads. That met for the first time on February 1.
Speaking in a debate on homelessness, Layla Moran, the Lib Dem MP, said: "Anyone who has visited a town centre recently will know that this is now at a crisis level; indeed, the public accounts committee concluded that it is a national crisis."
600 homelessness related deaths was reported last year and as for the governments excuse of waiting to establish an independent panel including charity heads is an absolutely disgraceful excuse especially when you look at the rise in homelessness which i was disgusted and shocked that since last year 180,000 people was registered homeless has risen to 307,000 right now and still rising and the majority has been down to the introduction of the bedroom tax.
Now in 1689 when the English bill of rights was written declaring the acts and liberties of the subjects (people of England) and succession of the crown it was said that it was illegal for the government or monarchs to give excessive fines or taxes to be imposed or any punishments thats considered cruel or unusual to be inflicted.
Then in 1795 the treason and sidisuos act was created which ultimately states that crimes committed against the subjects nation (people of England) or the peoples sovereign or reigning monarch is punishable by death and is still in place today and no laws can be repealed (taken out or changed) by the government without having consent from people of England which has to be done by a peoples vote.
Plus it is also guilty of being in violation of breaking the human rights act of 1949.
I have been classed as homeless for 14 years after doing a protest about the affects of anti-psychotic drugs and ive battled with depression and suicidal urges and serious suicide attempts the first being on my 11th birthday by hanging myself and countless other attempts which at the time was down to me feeling like i was a burden and like many people could not talk about it because of reasons only they know or in most peoples cases dont know but i will explain just a few that i experienced and is connected with depression.
1) not even knowing that i was depressed whilst i was growing up let alone understand or put the emotions or my so called rebellious actions or behaviour in to words.
2)when i did educate myself about the emotions i was going through and still having urges to do it ultimately created the catch 22 paradox and the fear of if i explain my feelings to someone how do i know that they will not end up with these same feelings, thoughts and emotions that i felt.
3)not wanting to have a negative effect on any living thing which installed the beautiful quality of trying to be empathetical to every ones feelings.
4)This one is the most significantly important thought that after reading that if you cut your arm length ways instead of side to side (which i had attempted many times and failed) then they would not be able to save me i was 15 at the time and the only thoughts in mind was them of number 3 above and such a strong thought of me absolutely not wanting to be part of a society are going to be the ones thats going to be guilty of murdering every species and destroying such a wonderfully beautiful and awesome planet and so i thought fuck it and lacerated my arm from wrist to elbow.
which obviously i failed to achieve what i wanted most but i also seen how hurtful and upsetting to all my friends that cared and loved me this was and realised that me doing that was doing exactly what i didnt want to do by effecting the people i loved in such a negative selfish way so i promised to them all that no matter what happens i wont end my own life.
Im now 38 and im still upholding my promise even though i still have the strong urges to do it more and more with how the government are having such a massively devastating and destructive effect on the people of not only of this realm but also every species that has the equal god given rights of this planet so im planning to start a petition requesting action be taken by her majesty the Queen AND her loyal subjects (people of England) as its in direct violation against the treason act of 1795 and many other laws that was written by the ones breaking them.
Im posting this first on social media as to see how many people would stand by myside and ultimately unite as a universal and beautiful multi-cultural voice of love ,compassion, empathy, and protection over those that are unable to protect their selves and each other no matter of who we all believe created us my belief is we were created to protect and appreciate the wonders of that this world has gave us first and foremost the laws of nature should overrule any law of mankind or womankind i love you all and if anything should happen to prevent me from standing with you i have full faith in the next generation that are making there voices heard by defending and standing up for what they believe i for one am so proud my true brothers and sisters keep up the good work and i will go about writing up a petition that is fit for the her the majesty the Queen
please share this with as many people as you can and as they say leave your mark to show your support in what ive just said love you all and believe in yourselves and each other UNITED WE STAND OR DIVIDED WE FALL
