Army veteran Matthew Dennis has been left homeless after he claims Bournemouth District Council said he was not on a priority list for housing in the area because he does not have a drink or drugs problem.

A White army veteran that has been made homeless after serving in Northern Ireland and Bosnia for ten years, has been told that he will get no help from the Council, because he doesn’t have a drink or drug problem.

Yet if he was Black with no right at all to be in the country and said that he was a homosexual, he would be housed instantly under the asylum rulings.

What kind of country sees its own people who have risked their lives to serve it freeze outside on the streets, while hostile brutes from the third world, along with junkies and alcoholics are all given top priority?

Daily Mail:

Matthew Dennis, 39, has already been forced to sleep rough once and is now concerned he could end up having to sleep on the streets again.

The former Lance Corporal claims he was told by Bournemouth District Council that as he does not have a drink or drug problem he is not on their ‘priority list’ for accommodation so has been left homeless.

In failing to find him a home the authority also is not following the armed forces covenant, which was introduced by the Ministry of Defence, to ensure service personnel are not disadvantaged by being in the army.

Under the covenant authorities are required to give priority to help former service personnel find housing. Bournemouth District Council claimed this did not apply after veterans had been out of the army for five years – but the Ministry of Defence said there is no time limit on the covenant.

Mr Dennis said: ‘I do feel let down.’

‘I went to the council for help. They said since I don’t have any problems with drugs or alcohol, I am not a priority.’

Mr Dennis was evicted from his rented flat last week after losing his job as a kitchen fitter which he worked as since leaving the armed forces in 2000. He lost his job after the company went into liquidation.

He is currently being put up in a bed and breakfast, at a cost of £95 a week – which is being paid for by Homes4Heroes.

David Wood, a co-ordinator for the charity said: ‘Matthew spent a few days sleeping rough before coming to us. He doesn’t know the benefits system. He has worked all his adult life and has served his country for nine years and this is the first time he has needed help.

‘At first a guy in the housing office said there was a place available but he had to go and check with his supervisor. When he came back 10 minutes later he was told he was not a priority case as he was not vulnerable.

‘There was no more assistance offered. I was disgusted.

This man paid his taxes and expected to be helped when he fell on hard times, yet now he is forced to rely on charity instead.

All those who look down on people giving money to armed forces charities, should remember that it is nearly always White people that those charities end up helping.
