the debate is on TV tonite

New research from Homeless Link indicating that around 4 in 10 young people become homeless because their parents are no longer willing to house them, reinforces our recent calls for Government to reconsider proposals to remove Housing Benefit for under-25s.
Young and Homeless 2013, based on a survey of 169 frontline agencies (homelessness charities and local authority housing departments), reveals that more than half of young people find themselves homeless because of relationship breakdown.

1984-4014 my journey has had these issues proffesionaly and personaly as a backdrop
it pains me deeply


Benefits Street's White Dee is set to go face-to-face with Katie Hopkins in a live debate tonight (February 3).

The pair will form part of a panel to discuss benefits in the UK, alongside former London Mayor Ken Livingstone, ex-Tory MP Edwina Currie and former model Annabel Giles, who previously lived on benefits as a single mother.



O'Grady said: "It's one of those programmes to get Middle England 'up in arms'. These people are the sacrificial lambs on the altar of light entertainment and they have gone willingly: a smart tongue has got them to say all sorts and it is a very unfair representation of unemployment in this country.

"A lot of people do not choose to be on benefits and this is portraying everyone on benefits as doing it because they want to, not because they have to - it's shocking."

Asked how he would reduce the benefits bill, he explained: "Create more jobs for a start and raise the basic wage - it's appalling. You'll get people saying, 'Why should I come off benefits and go and do that job, lose an extra £30 a week and work myself to death 11 hours a day?'

"So raise the basic wage. Iain Duncan Smith was born with a silver spoon in his mouth."
