Thread: Should the British Government be responsible for ex-pats returning from Thailand?

To get any housing assistance from the state you need to be ''unintentionally homeless'' which a majority of those begging and intoxicated don't fall into, but refugees do. The government has an obligation to them once they are assessed and accepted.

It's a harsh wake up call, but still not harsh enough to make a lot of addicts get clean, despite methadone or subitex being fairly accessible.

It may sound unsympathetic and harsh to criticise but this is a reality.

Even citizens advice can assist, day centres provide access to counselling etc etc etc

Don't wanna keep repeating myself, sorry....

Pat to get homeless all you have to do is get a letter from the last place you were staying saying you are being thrown out and they don't want you back ever and take that letter to the housing office and that's fact , a letter from your mother saying you're causing mayhem in the house and you're not getting back in does the job , but not a lot of people know this , my relation works in the housing ,

Even with a letter Like that there is still no guarantee of housing.
Mate of mine tried everything to get his family housed, in the end he had to stump up a big deposit to buy a place far away from his friends and family in the hills. Nice house and they seem happy enough now but for years they went from one short tenancy to another.
Getting somewhere to live in the UK for the first time is a total nightmare unless your super rich? Even more so south of Watford. .

^^Yes

And that system is well open to 'corruption' so to speak, but many of those wasters still don't get their arse in gear to find these things out.

It's called playing the system, not in a fraudulent way, but more of a mission. There are ways round everything.

Like girls who get themselves pregnant to get a flat.

But nowadays the places offered can be miles away in other cities & towns, with only one offer as a take it or leave it scenario, which is fair enough.

Just thought I'd quickly summarise every buriramboy post ever made. A service for the benefit of new readers.

Anyone ever seen that tv reality show on benefits and living in Jaywick?

Not claiming there are any expats in Thailand from there, but plenty of Pattaya british yob type lookalikes in the show

That isnt a "fact" .The housing office require an eviction order from Court

An eviction order doesn't necessarily make you 'unintetionally' homeless. If you're evicted for a reason that isn't your fault, eg. a compulsory purchase order, landlord wants the place back, or unsafe building, then yes.

If you're evicted for not paying rent or making a nuisance of yourself, the councils won't give a fuck, as that's your fault.

Let's not create an endless argumant here, Fluke, when you're not stating the facts in full, again.

If we're doing rules, then refugees cease to be refugees once they leave the first safe country they arrive at; and become economic migrants. I put my own people first, even if they are ill with hard drug addicition... and I have known people very well over long periods with that, and I know how expensive and difficult it is a problem to fix, but it's our problem, because if you don't fix it, it will have a good chance of being your problem eventually anyway.
