Also, those Romanians aren't really homeless as such. Most around here live in shit run-down council flats where even white British chavs don't want to be seen. They've got a right to that, you know. Being EU citizens. It'll be interesting to see what happens to them once the whole Brexit hubbub is actually over and done.
>>406033 >I hope you're not encouraging more wankers to start playing Wonderwall in the North West. Its almost a cliché to complain about buskers but that song is a public menace.
I refuse to play that song.
Oh dear. Now you only went and made me type again. You sad, dozy cunts. Food prices will somersault since most of your peons are seasonal guests from EU East and South. Manual labour will lose places for ARE OWEN because their serf-powered subcontractors close up. Cleaning, security, infrastructure services go down the shitter. Nurses and childminders, chefs and mechanics, couriers and drivers turn rude and sloppy. I have lived, drank and worked my hairy brown arse off with so much talent, seeing so little prospect, pushing the harder, smiling the brighter for all the malice a funny last name or peculiar accent instill in your kin. Mind you, over here it only takes a few.. how do you call it, miles? to make a neighbour turn stranger.
But the real fun is: still less work available, that's already a fact. Now faced with U.S. Randians, Arab hand-rubbing and swarm intelligence from China, a great howling and rattling of teeth fills the stale air of this forsaken island. And we, the swan-eating, nightbus raping Eurotrash, haven't had a thing to look back towards in years already. You ingrate, badly educated, mock-conservative twerps. Enjoy your 52%
Sorry, that was off topic. When my landlord unlawfully evicted me for austerity '07 I winged it around the UK for a few weeks. After realising there is no viable state support, no one looks me in the eye when I ask them for anything and native tramps are smugly self-destructive and have zero group solidarity, it was a refreshing change to fuck off and work on farms in Southern Yurop. I already felt better after making it down to Calais though.
Your lot is just too pussy whipped by the principle a fattened society sees in keeping their pariah class down: while we dirt are mistreated badly enough to give you an eyeful of what YOU may become.. there is no way you'd struggle for labour rights, spend more time on fun shit or (gasp) risk so called necessities for a big idea. This Marx lad may have been a shouty tramp, but he came into his own here for a reason.
Cheers though. Gone before the snow falls. Regards, Poorkraut.
I feel like it would be beneficial for me to experience homelessness for a while. I imagine there is a lot you can learn about yourself in that condition. My friends say 'just go out for a few nights' but it doesn't seem the same - knowing i can just walk home and sleep under a cover any moment I want.
>>406958 There are actually lots of charity schemes on at this time of the year where (normal) people sleep out for a night. You're right that it won't be representative but it would get you a tiny sense of it. There was a BBC (?) series a little while back where they forced a few celebs to do it for a few days - Willie Thorne couldn't hack it at all and had a mini breakdown (and demanded to be let off the experiment). It was a fascinating and moving program.
I think >>406959 is right though, you won't learn the "real" experience until you're actually faced with it as your only option, fucking hungry and have absolutely zero pence on you and you won't really learn much about yourself doing it as an experiment. Climb a mountain, do a very long hike, something physically impossible or life threatening or utterly frightening, you'll learn more about yourself.
>>406975 A sad story, but one side of a story. Statement Of Interest: I've been sectioned myself and was at one point not far from his situation. The stigma surrounding serious psychiatric diagnosis is such that some will prefer to be categorised and reclass themselves as homeless or junkies rather than succumb to a label like schizophrenia.
A Google news search on the word 'schizophrenic' always shows stories full of violent mum-stabbers and kiddie-fiddlers - it's like a byword for the untouchable. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia at 19 and I am lucky enough to have found a life for myself off medication, existing on the fringes of the art world (a shit musician like Patrick, more recently a writer), with some degree of fulfillment. This lad's sister seems to have a little too much faith in the mental health system. Personally I think I would have preferred sleeping rough to being pinned down and injected with nervous system destroying major tranquilisers that nearly killed me, then being told by a mental health act administrator what my human rights are (NB I didn't have any).
Mental Health is the Cinderella of the NHS because an increasing number of people correctly recognise psychiatry as a quack branch of drugs. Whatever is wrong with people like me and this lass's brother might be more to do with dysfunctional family dynamics and the failings of capitalism than the unproved bullshit theories of 'chemical imbalance'.
>>406982 >an increasing number of people correctly recognise psychiatry as a quack branch of drugs
This. If they really want to get better, they just need to turn over their life savings to the Church, who will help them embrace the alien soul trapped within them and enable them to ascend.
Formatting aside, I have to agree with Christlad, you or whoever made the post is a despicable person and I wouldn't have a lot of time for someone who sees a homeless person as a means to an end. If anything the sexual aspect is just a grotty cherry on top.
>>406987 But I am vulnerable and disadvantaged. People always manipulate me. I can only find solace in doing the same to others marginally worse off than me. That is the vicious circle of life.
