The Continuing Adventures Of Your Own Personal Jesus

There is truth in this posting, you just have to find it. You see wading through this to discover the truth should give you an indication of what I have to do, daily, in order to find out information to pass onto people. Not easy is it? Oh, how can you answer that without having read it yet? If you did answer without reading then you're ready for membership in the Hordes Of Local Idiots...do you believe, don't you trust me? " OH LORD!! QUICK!! HIDE THE CAT MARTHA, THE WORLD IS ENDING!!! " That's the catch cry of a few manic idiots running about the place spreading misinformation and actively inviting people to wander into our offices and demand, not ask, or speak to, but DEMAND to know the truth. The world, you see, is ending. "I see a red door and I want it painted black, no colours anymore, I want them to turn black...I see a line of cars and they're all painted black..." they scream, "THE WORLD!!! IT'S ENDING!!! THEY'RE SELLING OU...

Is the catch cry around the offices of late. This is a great scheme, designed to get more and more people into housing who might otherwise never get the chance. Nothing wrong with that. Here's how it works. Every tenant gets a letter explaining that the Government want to offer them what's called Affordable Housing, in particular, their own public houses.

No homes currently tenanted are being offered though, the letter explains that, but that doesn't stop people from coming into the offices screaming at us about how we're bastards for selling their houses, or looking worried that they're about to be kicked out after decades of solid tenancy. It ain't going to ha...

The past few weeks have been damn hard and it's becoming a serious effort to deal with the new rules and the resulting shift in the goalposts. It's very, very complicated, but here's one of the issues that now face us - as if we needed anymore grief. I swear at times that people who sit making these new policies have no regard at all for the front line people. The policy makers haven't done our job for years (if at all) and as such they've forgotten how difficult it can be. They remember another, easier and simpler time than it is now, a time without screaming, knives, death threats, general hate and confusion as what you were told two weeks ago might not apply this week. Yesterday I was told that more people hate us now than the dole office. That's low because they're right bastards. So the goalposts. Answer me this - how do you define a homeless person? A person without a fixed abode perhaps? A squatter? Someone who sleeps in their car? On the st...
