According to the housing charity Shelter 103,000 children will be homeless during this Christmas. A seven year high. Homelessness has increased in our country for the fifth consecutive year. In London alone the number of renters becoming homeless has increased by a staggering 700 per cent in the last five years.
UKIP Housing Spokesman Andrew Charalambous said, "It's time the Government showed some compassion to our ever increasing homeless population. We at UKIP are demanding that government should start by ensuring homeless persons have full access to a GP, mental health professionals, optical and dental care".
"Too often our homeless fellow citizens are living on the periphery of society. Consequently, they are becoming the silent victims of violence, sexual exploitation and abuse. Government rather than cutting the Police budget should direct more Police resources into protecting the homeless."
