Let the mosques take them in.
“Most damningly, they do not mention the fact that the foreign nationals who make up over half of London’s rough-sleeping population cannot claim benefits to access the hostel network at all. “
I bet the person who wrote this supports importing more Muslims.
Goodness. If they don’t want the sandwich, they aren’t that hungry. I’ve got a responsibility to make sure I am a good steward of what God entrusts to me. If I can help it, I am not going to buy more alcohol for drunks or drugs for addicts, even indirectly.
If they don’t want the sandwich when their sign says their hungry...
A bold theory, lacking supportive data.
their should be “they’re” Autocorrect.
If it wasn't for the occasional "sandwich from Pret's", I'd probably be pushing up daisies.
I assume this article is satire.
Why give them any?
To the author, Take a flying leap and land on one of those bums.
this from the UK? I do not care what happens to the homeless in the UK!!!
Serious? You’re homeless?
There used to be a saying that "he who pays the piper calls the tune." Same rule should apply to beggars and countries that accept foreign aid.
Buy them a bus ticket out of town. Or give them a year in jail they get three squares a day and plenty of leisure!
Serious as a 35 degree Texas night.
Nope. Will be used for alcohol or drugs.
LOL, so to keep my money from being spent on things I don’t approve of, I need to keep it in my pocket, ok, message received.
So at this exact moment you are living on the streets?
Not a chance. Lots of agencies and charities are set up to help them. If they need help, I let the professionals do their jobs.
I had my fill of the homeless when I worked in downtown San Diego. It was non stop harassment—not just verbal. Arm grabbing and spitting on me were how these poor souls expressed their outrage when I didn’t fork over my hard earned cash.
And they weren’t asking for your loose change. This was in the 1990s and my colleagues and I were on the receiving end of demands for $10-20.
No sympathy here.
