UK National Debt soars £7000 per second
The UK’s debt crisis is worsening as the country’s national debt has passed the one trillion pound mark and continues to mount by £7,000 per second. Continue reading Number of homeless to double in Britain
JNN 31 Dec 2010 : A coalition of charities has warned that homelessness will soar across Britain after the coalition government enforced housing benefit cuts.Seventeen charities said the government’s cuts to housing benefits could double the number of people sleeping on the streets within a year, British media reported.
The government announced, as part of its public spending review plan, it will no longer pay for 25-34 year-olds from 2012 to live in a one-bedroom flat, but it could instead only cover the costs of a room in a shared property.
According to the government’s own figures, the reform will see 88,000 people lose an average of £47 a week with many whose benefits will be halved.
The coalition of charities said in a statement last month that the number of the “visibly homeless people” could surge unless the government reverses its plan to cut welfare.
“Vulnerable people who have been homeless, are leaving care or prison … sharing is often inappropriate and can be particularly detrimental to well being”, said the statement.
“We have about 8,000 rough sleepers in the country and the government’s reforms could easily put another 8,000 on the streets,” said Howard Sinclair, the chief executive of the homeless charity Broadway and a signatory to the letter.
The problem is that local authorities have no legal duty to help house young single people. “They do not have family, no real social networks … they are outsiders and they will have nowhere but the streets to go,” he said.
London, where roughly half of the country’s rough sleepers live, has seen a rise in homelessness in recent years as the financial crisis hit.

Domestic violence ‘on the rise’ in Britain
JNN 21 Dec 2010 : Newly released official figures show an increase in the number of cases of domestic violence including homicide and abuse across Britain during the past financial year.The figures showed the number of women killed by a violent partner jumped from 72 in 2007-8 to 102 in 2008-9 recording a 42 percent spike, British media reported.
According to figures released by police in November, as many as 42,000 women filed complaint across the UK last year about being abused by a man.
This is while that the number of men complaining of being a victim of domestic abuse by a woman had increased from 7,361 to 7,938 during the same period.
Campaigners have been voicing concern that the government’s austerity measures, mainly cuts to local authority budgets, may result in more deaths from domestic violence as already poorly funded specialist services face the axe.
Currently one in three local authorities provides no refuge or specialist support to victims.
Earlier this month, domestic violence charity Refuge delivered a petition to the Downing Street urging the government to protect specialist domestic violence services.
“Reducing specialist domestic violence services would have serious consequences, leaving women with fewer options and forcing them to stay with or return to their perpetrator, thereby increasing the risk of death,” a spokeswoman said
