World War Two veteran, 98, who is battling cancer is staying in a hostel after landlords kicked him out of his rented bungalow in 'no fault eviction'A Second World War veteran with cancer has been told to wait six months for a council flat after being evicted from his home. D-Day hero Alfred Guenigault, 98, has been placed with his daughter in a cramped hostel while Dorset Council finds him suitable appropriate housing. The former paratrooper had lived for seven years at his home in Ferndown, Dorset, and was given just two months notice to leave under a 'no fault' eviction. But decorated war veteran Alfred - who signed up to kill Nazis as an underage soldier - has prostate and skin cancer, and is immobile after breaking his right hip last year. His daughter, Deb Dean, is looking after him in the hostel but fears his deteriorating condition means he will have to spend his final months in misery. The fuming 66-year-old said: 'My father fought in the war and this is the treatment he gets.... My concern is that in six months, he may not even be here anymore. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12299541/World-War-Two-veteran-98-cancer-hostel-landlords-evicted-him.htmlThis is how we treat veterans. Illegal scum are put up in 3,4 & 5 star hotels given free health & dental treatement, pocket money and mobile phones. But this is how we treat our veterans. This country has gone to ratshit, it's an immigrant shit tip.

Ah Red that’s a shame.
This could have been an interesting thread - what to do about no fault evictions if only you hadn’t allowed your hatred fetish to get in the way - using just the sort of language by the way that was used by those this gentleman fought against in the war.
Pity.

No Fault Evictions are the enemy. Nothing and no-one else.
Successive governments have pandered to the Buy to Let market for too long. Axing NFEs is a start, but rent controls and effective security of tenure are overdue for reform.
Our town - where Holiday Lets have skyrocketed since Covid - is currently seeing a Spike in this shabby practice.

Whenever we've lived in rented accommodation, which we have, for convenience, on a couple of occasions. In 2015, 6 months in Dudley, then a couple of years in Kent.
I found it stressful, because I like to maintain my own property, and with rented, that's problematic. Most of all, there is a feeling that the property is not yours and at the end of the rental contract we might be asked to move on at short notice.
For those reasons I sympathise with the old chap. He must have been given quite a bit of notice and he does have a decent roof over his head. It's a Daily Mail story and I do wonder how it has been embellished for emotional purposes.

Maybe he should have stayed in school and worked harder and then he could have bought his own house instead of expecting the state to support him. Isn't that the usual Daily Mail/GB News angle on this kind of story Red? |

He was in the first wave into Normandy on DDay, and you have the fuckin neck to criticise him. What the fuck have yo done for your country? |

Had this gentleman not lied about his age to join the parachute regiment and not directly fought in the war, would it now be OK to no fault evict him from his home?

I'm not criticising him I'm criticising you for your inconsistency. Read the last sentence again and this time think about it instead of giving your knee-jerk reaction. |

Where in the world have rent controls worked? easy....they work in places where you don't have fucking huge inflows of immigrants into countries with very limited housing and very limited space and very limited amenities but with very stupid politicians....who tell them what an amazing benefit to the economy they will be....in those places they work. |

Had this gentleman not lied about his age to join the parachute regiment and not directly fought in the war, would it now be OK to no fault evict him from his home? The Armed Forces Covenant An Enduring Covenant between The People of the United Kingdom His Majesty’s Government – and – All those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their Families. The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment. Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved. This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant. |

So you arguing in breach of your “covenant” that this 98 year old man could fairly be evicted if he hadn’t been in the army 80 years ago and can’t be fairly evicted because he was?

If you read Monte's post properly, he has not criticised Alfred G at all. |
