    Default The Invisible People

    I've been doing some research on the homeless. There is quite a bit of information out there with honest people explaining their plight. The reason I've been doing this is I might be deported back to america and I have some problems awaiting my return, to put it lightly. So these details will help me get back to normal in the shortest time possible.

    https://www.youtube.com/c/InvisiblePeople

    There are many articles and youtube videos that will be informative for someone who might find themselves in this predicament. The above link is more about some of the stories, not so much tips.

    People can be very helpful [not as common] and people can be down right mean. Karma is certainly at play here.

    I don't care what the official numbers tell us, I have never seen so many people who are displaced and seemingly homeless in my life, once upon a time homeless people were few in number - 'Tramps' and travelers were always a part of U.K society, people who had given up the struggle to 'make it', to comply and conform, lots of different stories no doubt: but now you see people all across the cities, they are now a significant entity, it is obvious displacement and disruption is taking place on a massive scale. A symptom of our times, the turbulence of a shift, a transition. I don't know ultimately.
