In everywhere but Scotland, the council has absolutely no duty to home you unless you are in "priority need" - you're a family with children, pregnant, homeless due to a disaster, or are severely (usually physically) disabled or at risk of domestic abuse. Being homeless is plenty possible, especially for young men. And what about those who aren't of sound mind, anyway? Do they just not deserve a roof over their heads? The unemployment system is horrifying, and you cannot access jobseekers' for up to a month if you quit a job of your own accord. Being self-employed, it's even more complicated as you don't pay the relevant taxes - meaning you have to go through an alternative system. If you can't afford a £150 fine to go see a doctor for a life-threatening condition, you can't afford to go without income for a month. I'm going to bet DPD have fines for quitting the job, too.
