I slept rough in the North East for a year when I was 16 after being thrown out of the house by my new step mam.Sleeping rough through a north east winter is rough and I ended up in hospital with pneumonia and a collapsed lung.A relative took me into her already crowded home and gave me the love I'd never had at home.Being homeless makes you invisible to the authorities other than the police who are only too happy to harass you.
You poor thing- so glad your relatives took you in- unfortunately the government can’t do anything for you- busy with housing illegals with taxpayers money.
Awww the blond haired lad in the wheel chair with the hospital tag on I knew him personally when he was a smart young healthy lad around 2001/2002 so sad to watch his decline I see him now again round town so sad x I don't judge him though because I ain't perfect....
Makes me so sad..Struggled myself for over 30 years with drugs..Did 2 weeks sleeping rough in Leeds sept 2023..I,m clean today and hoping to get into Growing rooms Rehab..I hope and pray everyone who’s homeless gets the help they need 😢
I was on the streets of Leeds when I was 15-17 on an off I was addicted to heroin an it was the most terrifying time of my life, I’ve been clean since 27-8-03 the krypt was a life saver for me at times, but what he says is right you soon over stay your welcome with friends etc,
Not sure I’m convinced by the couple saying that because of covid it fucked up their situation. The only people who didn’t get any assistance during C19 was people who were working and paying their bills. Everyone else got money thrown at them. Note: I believe passionately that homelessness is a tragedy. I just don’t buy every single story.
I thought exactly the same,some people just can’t be arsed or have any determination to do anything with their lives. But like you said it is tragic how some people end up.
Truth is most people are skint them selves these days it’s hard to help the homeless especially when there is about 100 in Leeds . Which ones do you help?
Drug addiction and alcoholism are to blame for everything, an endless terrible cycle. Only they can help themselves. Even if society makes every effort, nothing will change if a person does not want to fix the situation himself. And he can't because of very great dependence or weak will.
All in nice HOTELS with FREE Food & £40 Weekly allowance, utter MADNESS!!!! But then again people are making BIG £££££ from it all, they can't make that same £££££ off our own homeless.
That dude just listed his meals for the day starting with MC Donalds then a Starbucks and Gregg's. Nice warm hostel and money for drugs. Sign me up, working outside for long hours in the winter is no longer for me. Ffs
Ones you have been homless. For such a long time its very difficult to get back to normal life and its something that wii stay with you won't ever forget being homless its vary damaging
750,000 economic migrants last year, more this year. How can there be any homeless people in the UK, with our levels of diversity we should be strong enough to eliminate poverty altogether.
Whilst I do not wish homelessness on anyone and think there should be initial support for rehabilitation ex prisoners etc. It should only be for a certain amount of time. The world is a tough place, maybe some people should think about their life choices rather than blame others. The 2nd guy that had never worked, I have no sympathy whatsoever. It isn't difficult to get a warehouse job. I left home at 16, worked and managed to run my own place. It boils down to attitude and life choices in the majority of cases.
He sounds like a mammies boy “oh I never worked never had to” but then his mam died and he couldn’t pay any bills. His mother should have kicked him up the Rss when she was alive and made him get a job then perhaps he wouldn’t be in the position he is now. You make your own luck in life in many cases.
The reason why Leeds has such a high number of homeless is because our city is overpopulated by the non indigenous, our council like all the rest in this country has to prioritise them over our own , simply because we have a subjective human rights law that doesn’t apply to our vulnerable, sadly this government like all our previous ones only listens to nimbys and the woke , in the eyes of nimbys and the woke , even vulnerable brits are capable of finding a meal , even if it’s in a bin ,or a food bank , if they want a roof over their head go back to the bin and find some cardboard, this is the reality of Britain, the virtue signalling woke should be proud ,
Im am so sorry to see this film2024. It breaks my heart.If i had so much money like Bill Gates and Rishi Sunak the British Prime Minister ........dont help POOR PEOPLE in this WORLD :-(

I work in Leeds city centre and there are beggars and homeless on every corner, especially near the station. I'm sick of being asked for money every day whilst walking to office. The money is used for alcohol and drugs.
Not necessarily, don't judge too fast. We have people living out on the streets through no fault of their own. The problem mostly arrises because immigrants are giving accommodation while the poor of the country are simply not cared about.

Heartbreaking.
All these people need is a chance of a fresh start.
"you will own nothing and you will be happy" but a mere taste of what's coming.
Screw the system mate
The Great Reset
@@blackeagle7947this is the problem , the system the uk has supports migrants and helps them screw the system , while the system screws our own ,
I was in Leeds yesterday, having not been in for a while, and was totally shocked to see how many people were sleeping rough. Very, very sad.
It's increasing all the time. So sad. It's probably Leeds' biggest problem.
What camera u using there
Awww the blond haired lad in the wheel chair with the hospital tag on I knew him personally when he was a smart young healthy lad around 2001/2002 so sad to watch his decline I see him now again round town so sad x I don't judge him though because I ain't perfect....
Great video Jordan!
Thank you mate

I'm crying watching this, me and my wife are facing homeless, all we have each other 😢

Makes me so sad..Struggled myself for over 30 years with drugs..Did 2 weeks sleeping rough in Leeds sept 2023..I,m clean today and hoping to get into Growing rooms Rehab..I hope and pray everyone who’s homeless gets the help they need 😢
It's so sad 5hat u r homeless and your Gov is letter people stay in hotels with 3 meals what a sin
One word Jeanette - TREASON
Gimmegrants
I've been to Leeds lots and recognised some of these
I was on the streets of Leeds when I was 15-17 on an off I was addicted to heroin an it was the most terrifying time of my life, I’ve been clean since 27-8-03 the krypt was a life saver for me at times, but what he says is right you soon over stay your welcome with friends etc,
Im to used to living here I'll die here very sad I hope he's at peace now 👍
The Country is realy upside down to far to go bk.

These are the people the government should help, like macari centres, they could be you........
MPs should be a shamed
They pretend it doesn't exist
Drug addiction and alcoholism are to blame for everything, an endless terrible cycle. Only they can help themselves. Even if society makes every effort, nothing will change if a person does not want to fix the situation himself. And he can't because of very great dependence or weak will.
Cannot believe a poor man has been living on the streets for 20 years. Same as others. Government needs to do something about this.
Heart breaking just sad looking at good people not being given the basics.
Hope this man isn’t upsetting our ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS no danger of THEM BEING HOMELESS😤😤😤
Are you a gammon?
@JohnSmith-ji6lu are you?
Not one immigrant in sight on the street homeless
The economic migrant situation is ONE BIG Gravy train, a lot of people are doing very very well from it all.
OMG please bless these guys ❤ please let me know if you need a roof 🙏
Best being an illegal immigrant then the guy will care about you
All in nice HOTELS with FREE Food & £40 Weekly allowance, utter MADNESS!!!! But then again people are making BIG £££££ from it all, they can't make that same £££££ off our own homeless.

Brits don’t get what the immigrants get , and that’s never right
Prince William hasn't got a clue
Ones you have been homless. For such a long time its very difficult to get back to normal life and its something that wii stay with you won't ever forget being homless its vary damaging
People don’t realise that a lot of folk are only 1 disaster away from being made homeless!
it's beggers believe 21 century and people homeless it makes me so sad plz whom ever it concerns get these people homes 😔 they are human after all
Your problem is , your British , we don't help British people in this future Islamic country ? James Stewart x soldier UK, REFORM
Well said James this government needs removing
I wounder what would happen if these poor people slept in hotel door way's housing Illegals.

Was this difficult to understand? Perhaps I can add subtitles later.

Rss = arse
Perils of typing a message on your phone.

Class people these Leeds folk why dont they try and make something of the lives, like Jimmy Savile and Peter Sutcliffe.
