And I'll give you another clue. You'll find rough sleepers in places

My only prejudice is you have denied a housing shortage contributes to
sleeping rough.


Pedantic as ever. You don't care a stuff about the reasons the majority
sleep rough.

You don't have a clue.

But just want a possible minority reason to be the important
one. For the obvious reason.

You seem to be in denial that demand for housing, largely through
immigration has made homes unaffordable for many.

The housing shortage effects far more deserving cases than rough
sleepers. Let's get that sorted first.

That's quite a statement from you. Are you normally this insensitive to
peoples' plights? Is it a Remoan thing?

As one who claims to be concerned about rough sleepers as a priority - and
rather obviously a Brexit nutter too, you might ponder this. :-

Estimated cost to end rough sleeping - £180m

Estimated cost to change passport from EU to UK - £480m

The cost of the passport change is £0.

Yes the contract to redesign and print them over the contract period is
£480m, but for security reasons this is done every 5 years anyway, so
there is no additional cost. On top of that, people have to pay for
their passports, so the government recoups the money too.
