Hi my name is Joe and my girlfriend is also called Jo and she is not Irish, she is from Scotland. Why people think we have a house at wallcourt flats I don't know we have a friend there who lets us stay every now and then!!! To the people who have been saying we should be sent to a concentration camp and have medical experiments done on us the executed well hope you read about the two guys who got 4 years for going on facebook asking people to tiot in there area, no riots happend but they are still in prison!! Me and my girlfriend have both taken advice frow the law center and are taking the legal action required, just beause you are typing in the comfprt of your home does not mean you can't be held responsible!!! Our lawyer says technically you are saying we should be killed/tourtured!!! all the people who have been slagging us off and making disgusting comment about us will soon be recieving letters in the post as not one singl person can prove anything they have said. Taking class a drugs outside tesco? any proof?? why would we risk it getting put in prison, you are all going to be held liable for fals comments you have made, no point of wiping your comments off as all have been copied and pasted(yes am not stupid and have done an advanced GNVQ IT and HND in computer science, just happened to fall on hard times a very close friend died and I started drinking and lost my job and house, I had a good job working at a recors company and bet I am better educated than most of you haters... As for the woman who saiid she saw me with new cloths and "going to see my girlfriend" is it not allowed to change into new cloths if you live on the street???? go to the worlds end pub and ask for the mangeress or leister and they will tell you that I painted the whole of the upstairs and the let me go through the lost property so that's how I had the "new" cloths!!!!

Hello Jo, Where are you going to send the letters? It would be an interesting legal case, to be sure, but not one I think is anyone is keen to be part of. There are a number of interesting legal problems that would arise. I don't think anyone is going to prison. I note that you haven't asked to have any of those posts taken down. Anyway, I'm more interested in your story than in legal actions, because I don't know much about people's real experience of homelessness. What's your plan? What's your thinking about how you spend your days? Nothing patronising in this, I just think one way to address these prejudices is to tell your story a little bit.

Andy, I think you've hit exactly the right note. This should be an inclusive forum and I look forward to hearing Jo/Joe's story.

@ Krappy,

Agreed. I came across this blog recently, written by the CEO of a housing charity:

http://jeremyswain.blogspot.com.

It's an interesting read, and showed me how little I knew about homelessness.

I'm interested in how come someone who's living on the street can afford a lawyer.

WillM

Quite, ADGS. If I were living on the streets, I think I'd care more about finding a way to get a roof over my head and getting re-employed, rather than what some anonymous souls on a website forum said about me. Of all the way to use what I assume is limited time on the internet, using it to go after your haters is an odd choice.

I don’t recall anyone saying they should be sent to concentration camps for medical experiments anyway. At worst they have been accused of having a room that they do not actually have. I doubt that’s a criminal offence.

Jim

Reading back on some of the comments made on the The camp outside Tesco thread - I think you have a good case.

Good luck!

"To the people who have been saying we should be sent to a concentration camp and have medical experiments done on us the executed well hope you read about the two guys ..."

Joe no one said this. I think you have misread one particular post which was discussing the term fascism and which infact states that NO ONE said the above about you. Perhaps your lawyer is a trainee? I think you have been badly advised.

@Joe There some chaps in Crouch End looking for help with various IT projects. You can find out more and contact them via a Facebook group called Crouch End Creatives.

It still does not address the fact that there appears to be 2 homeless people outside Tescos. I don't want to see that nor I guess do you want to be there. Much rather live in blissful ignorance But as this is a community forum and you are part of the community, so we talk about it. If you have a right to stay there we have a right to comment on it.

To Jo and the camp outside Tesco,can you go to alcoholics anonymous meetings and/or narcotics anonymous meetings.Because if you keep drinking or taking drugs you can damage your liver.I would also recommend that you go to the doctors to have blood tests to see if you are suffering from undiagnosed medical conditions that you need treatment for.Perhaps you could ask your doctor to send you to the free of charge psycotherapist for help with problems.Maybe you could go to Islington volunteer bureau to ask to do voluntary work so that you can tell an employer that you have got a reference to give him from voluntary work that you have done.
