One slight difference there, Mr Holloway.
Military exercises are time limited, usually to a few days.
At the end you get to shower, shave, eat a decent hot meat and sleep in your own comfy bed. And you get paid for the experience.
Offer the same deal to rough sleepers - then you can claim some kind of parity...

Which shows you have no comprehension of what army personnel go through with military training
How about the Royal Marines, when they train in artic conditions?
He is right in what he is saying and it does not detract from the fact it still is bad for homeless people, which no Governement in this country has ever resolved.
Homelessness is a problem and guess what, the vast majority of these people are white men. Though all homeless people, no matter their ethnic group, should be housed. Even refugees get crap accomadation to live in over the homeless.
Is that right or wrong, when both should be given accommodation?
What are people doing to help them?
Many people claim to care, but do they really?
Many homeless are shunned in daily life, by all walks of life.
When people try poorly to make and score points on something when the country as a whole does very little and neither Labour of the Tories do much to resolve this, shows this a failing of the entire nation.
Now I want to ask an important question
What will voting for Labour or the Tories achieve?
I have lived decades through both and to me, both are useless
Many here, seem to think Coryn, just one in a line of many people, making many bold claims, will be somehow different from the rest of Politicians.
Does he or the Tories under May have a viable economic plan, or do they both intend to keep the country continually in debt?
Nationalization, is not going to resolve that problem, but make it even worse
How much money is either going to borrow for decades?
