How about the dues owed to ex time served combatants of all ages sleeping rough at the moment, no different to those who had begged on the streets some limbless following WW2 I’m advised in all wars prior to this? These chaps are on the bottom of the list for council accommodation, when RN Haslar was given away for an undisclosed sum wasn’t there some sort of provision factored in for ex service personnel ? Portsmouth’s Kingston Prison also given away for an undisclosed sum would with its individual cells complete with beds & linen, shower, kitchen facilities been ideal ? The homeless had to be moved out for D Day memorial, these guys without a residential address have unlike illegal immigrants on full board have no chance of applying for work. Some with PTSD have no support will the MOD step up and repay the forces covenant please ?
