More than 10 British veterans have been served eviction notices by Qualitas Housing

Veterans have launched a blistering attack on "abysmal Britain" after being "evicted without reason" in Bolton.

More than 10 veterans were served eviction papers by Qualitas Housing, telling them to leave their accommodation within two months.


Speaking to GB News, veterans Andy, Scott and Gary were joined by Councillor Trevor Jones as they expressed their outrage at their eviction.

Scott explained: "We all got served the eviction notice a couple of weeks ago. No explanation, nothing.

"They told us that we're out by September with no help to get any other properties, nothing at all. We're supposed to be in supported accommodation, we've all got PTSD, and they've done nothing, nothing whatsoever for us."

Highlighting the stress felt by the 12 veterans who have been served the notice, Andy revealed they will be "made homeless" if they are removed from the accommodation.

Andy said: "I asked the question, what's the reason for it, and they didn't have an answer. I asked them what they've got in place for us if we do get evicted, they still didn't have an answer. They said we've got two months to do whatever.

"The stress levels in this building with all the boys and girls in here is just so high at the moment. I'm 53, if I get made homeless, I don't know what I'm going to do. I've got no family now, so I'm going to be stuck."

Hitting out at the lack of support for British veterans, Scott made clear that they are "getting nothing" despite serving the country, and they "didn't come over in a small boat".

Scott fumed: "It's just all very stressful at the moment. We've all got PTSD, and the place itself that we're living in is an absolute mess. It's not been cleaned, they don't decorate.

"We're living in an absolute horrible situation and now they're trying to throw us out. They're supposed to be here supporting us, we're getting no answers off nobody. We're getting nothing.

"We are veterans, We've not come over here in a boat, we've served our country and we're getting nothing."

Hitting out at the ongoing migrant crisis and the treatment of asylum seekers in comparison, Scott stated: "The country is abysmal at the moment, and it doesn't seem that they care.

"But if you come across on a dinghy without a passport, there's a hotel, there's money, you do whatever you want. They haven't got a clue who they're letting in the country. We are veterans, we're part of the country and we've got no rights. We've got nothing."

Highlighted his support for the veterans, Councillor Trevor Jones said he is "honoured" to be helping those facing eviction.

He told GB News: "I was honoured to come and help them. These lads have put their lives on the line for the country, and this is how they're treated, it's absolutely abysmal, it's horrible, and I couldn't wait to get involved."

A spokesman for Bolton Council said in a statement: "We share the concerns that have been raised after Qualitas Housing issued Section 21 notices to armed forces veterans living at Constellation House in Farnworth.

"We are in discussions with the housing provider to resolve this matter. The council is also in the process of contacting the tenants to offer the full support of our Housing Options and Advice team."
