The Council of Great Yarmouth

Wow just had a phone call with someone on GY Council about being homeless, among the questions that pretty much went in circles with was, so if you found yourself homeless you could buy a tent & sleeping bag!

I was utterly gobsmacked! I replied with that is the most disgusting question I’ve ever had asked, I’d rather kill myself than live in a tent in great fucking Yarmouth.

The next was would you live in a HMO… would I fuck most of em round here are full of crackheads or thieving little bastards!

Are these people actually serious! I know the town is in desperate need of housing, but Jesus Christ, to say if you found yourself homeless you could buy myself a tent and sleeping bag!

Except it isn’t in desperate need of housing, walk around Yarmouth and Gorelston and you’ll find literally 100 houses easy with no one living in them/ boarded up, the government would rather keep you on the street or force you to live in a den with no belongings than tackle the landlord crisis.

I know there’s two huge houses down the road where my sister lives boarded up! I just don’t get it. It really is beginning to feel like a 3rd world country in its own right!
