Well that would depend entirely on whose figures you prefer to use. The governments figures claim 464 people are sleeping rough in England. The UK government's definition of homeless is someone who is actually "bedded down" in a sleeping bag. These are the only ones counted. Someone sitting up in a sleeping bag, or standing alongside their bedding is not counted. These figures have even been massaged to the extent that the local autorities have been accused of not counting those that are lying down but have their eyes open.

Crisis, (The homeless Charity) who maintain thier own records and a database of names say the number in the region of 3500 in London alone!!

Sleeping Rough is defined differently to homeless.

In the first quarter of 2010, there were around 65,000 homeless households in temporary accommodation in Great Britain. (This does not include those voluntary homeless)

Crisis, has estimated that there are 380,000 hidden homeless households in the UK at any one time. The majority of these households are single homeless.

delphiandomine: Bear in mind that living costs are stupidly low here - I saw potatoes in one market for 0.60zl (or what, about 15 cents?) a kilo, it's not as bad as it sounds. yeah and what about the rent and bills? Besides, not all food products are cheap in Poland. Actually, I didn't have the expression that the living costs are "stupidly low" in Poland. (not for Poles anyway).

As to the Original Topic.....

I propose that they use that 200 thousand to buy a Big Old House in East London or the outskirts thereof, and make it into a Rooming house/Halfway-house for Poles and other citizens of the 10 eastern bloc countries exclusively.

_____________ Hang on, there is a plenty War vetereans who are nearly all dead so why not use one of their meeting place-buildings for this purpose, I mean these Battle of Britain heroes had had their turn living it up in GREAT Britain, why not let others. Solidaritè ! ! !

......

they are merely a nuisance, and 'unsightly', and are candidates for elimination, or a perverse entertainment.

I bet that is why you opened up this thread, because you be preying on them weaklings and wanted all the close up shots of badly damaged Poles, to get your spirits up about Your damagaged liver and face like Yuschenko.

Very good point...And Lipsky is a Jewish name.
