Isn't it time we looked after our own?

On the television news tonight they have just said that 80,000 kids are homeless throughout the UK! They were shown sleeping on the pavement, under a few blankets and I guess these were the lucky ones.

That is disgraceful in my opinion and something needs to be done to help them, but what will Cameron do about it?

Answer: Most likely continue to send more of our money to every Country that is probably more wealthy than us now.

Is it any wonder that Nigel Farage and UKIP will do well at the next Election? They will make things very tough for Cameron and Miliband you wait and see!

The trouble is Ron this is a worldwide problem each country is blighted with this situation.

I agree with you in a civilized world this should not happen but unfortunately it exists.

If a country is unable to look after its children and its elderly population then the country has no future, for each child out on the streets, in that child's heart there is a spark of love and in a lot of the cases  a survival instinct  that could re-channeled and put to good use in other directions of life.

There should be centers were they could be looked after, assessed and selected for their future role in society, it is no use saying it cant be done where there is a will there is a way.

I found this on You Tube from Korea a boy dumped in a orphanage when he was 3 years old he was one of the lucky ones.

Amongst those 80000 children on the streets of England there will be talents of varying degrees and these children should be given every  chance in life.

Your right, to give them every chance in life gives your country and better standard of living. Ron we have to provide society with an way to live on nothing..but still have the essentials when there is no income forth coming. I do no tknow of any other way then our ancestors did over here...when they went to the wilderness frontier...they could hunt and trap their own food to eat, raise gardens, cut down trees and build cabine an be warm in the winter time.Thye grew their own animals for their hair and tanned hides and made quilts and knitted with wool. With the neighbors they could share helping each other without cost or strings attached. Is there any other way...if there is, I've never known one. Usually family does these things if others can't. Of course helping to keep down the birthing to those that can be supported helps. BTW...they didn' tjust build cabins...a lot of them lived in caves along the edge of rivers.Thing is they have to have an enviormentally suitable habit for living on. Non-GMO seeds that produce by volumes rather then by  an hybrid to few. They need to know how to dry their food and game also, so it's preserved without added cost factors. Now you see why I have been watching the Native Americans for years on end and how they do things. .

A very good question, John. I suspect a lot of the money goes in the wages of over-paid managers, company cars  and expensive entertaining.

I would be much happier knowing that what money I can give goes to the recipients, not to the many hangers-on in the charity 'industry'. 

Equally Andy, there are too many people prepared to jump on the bandwagon because of the fear factor that other parties conjure up.

I say give them a chance, not because of what you think you see, have read, or maybe heard, ask yourself where did the Labour Party, the Tories, the Libdems....any party for that matter, begin? They all had their party poopers no doubt (and still have them).

The difference with UKIP is that Nigel Farage is saying what most of us are thinking, and that is totally the opposite to the aforementioned parties, so where from here?

There is no doubt whatsoever that UKIP are going to make substantial gains at the next Election and it can't happen fast enough for me.
