I thought that was optional nowadays

Legally not optional if you know who he is. If he doesn’t have a job or care about having one then give up on that one or start getting tighter with handouts, which won’t happen so this underclass is here until nuclear war fallout when the stupid really will perish.

Why would anyone be surprised Yarmouth or any struggling seaside tow is poor? Employment has suffered for decades because of holidaying trends.

Absolute rubbish. I pay a lot of money in taxes and I am happy to help support the poorer members of society but I object to supporting single mothers where the father of their children doesn't and I don't like supporting people who prefer to spend their own money on booze and fags rather than food.

I assume that as you don't live in the UK you also don't contribute to the state's coffers preferring instead to criticize from the outside

Don’t forget tattoos and lots of Argos jewellery. They don’t cost the taxpayer on dentistry a lot of the time though.

I’ve got an idea. Maybe the child’s father could chip in a few quid to support its upbringing. A bit radical, perhaps.

But she doesn't know who the father is or where he is. Perhaps I can help its that bloke sitting next to her on the sofa.

When I worked on the Electoral Register I saw plenty of that "No mate I don't live here just visit my girlfriend (7 nights a week)"

You pay more tax than everyone else then?

My point is you are making the error of using an isolated case, usually of the tabloid feckless sterotype, which probably applies to a minute percentage of people in that bracket and applying it across the board rather than debate the wider issue of poverty and homelessness which is a national scandal. It's the kind of ignorance that has allowed the situation to become what it is

Not paying that small percentage would be a lot shared between the rest who need and deserve welfare rather than choosing welfare as a way of life.

It's attitudes like this that is the cause and how the problem has been allowed to manifest

Demonising the poorest in society is very selfish

Is that Britain today? F*ck thy neighbour?

But, but all that immigration is making us better off.

Make up your mind comrade.

How many of those people have made themselves homeless or are immigrants? Got any figures on that?

Well as the resident expert on poverty, I thought you must have the breakdown.
We need to know what we are talking about before we find solutions.

I don't want to get between you guys.

A lady friend volunteers at the Passage which is a homeless charity based near Westminster Abbey. I asked her the same question. Her gut fill is that the majority of people she sees appear to be British. They nearly all have mental health issues.

Of course she only sees a small section in one location. I asked her about begging and she feels that most of the people she sees don't do that.

If that is correct then does that mean there is a difference between the type of people we see on the street begging and the invisible people who go to homeless shelters. I don't know just posing the question based on my conversation with my friend.

My guess is zero, prove me wrong

No offence but someone with such ingrained prejudices and condescending manner adds nothing to this debate
