I once heard from a guy, who was put up at the Novotel, but had a Dr's appointment in town.
Because the "hotel" provided food, he only got £8.86 a week, so he had to walk it.
Which took 3 hours, there and back. Which meant he missed a meal.
The entire system is set up to be cruel by design.

It’s sad it’s taken a #PreventionOfFutureDeaths order from the coroner for this to be picked up by the media but the current implementation of #RightCareRightPerson seriously needs to be reviewed www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater...
When police step back: The mental health decisions that are costing lives
The 'Right Care Right Person' scheme is aimed at reducing the amount of time police spend responding to mental health and welfare calls. But coroners have raised concerns about how it's being applied

Farage: "All over the world, you apply for a work visa - that visa is for you. Not to bring your family... That is how a normal work visa works."
Entirely untrue.
Most work visas allow dependents, including in countries that the UK competes with for labour - US, Canada, Australia and 27 EU states.
