I took a trolley back at the supermarket the other day, and there was this drunk who very politely asked me for a light who I'd seen in the supermarket earlier.
He'd walked out of the supermarket looking at some small change in his hand muttering that he hadn't got enough money. I put my trolley back and took out the coin and instinctively handed it to this bloke, he snatched it out of my hand and was back in the supermarket like a rat down a drain. If he hadn't been so quick and I'd thought about it I'd have given some more money, but he was gone. I wonder what he bought? |

I must admit I laughed all the way home.
He wasn't begging, I just automatically handed it to him. I nearly lost me fingers. |

most homeless folk will either have a drug problem or mental illness .
most will have had accomodation (many times over) many private sector / some lucky ones secure council accom . With mental illness very often comes the inability to cope with running a house/flta- bills don't get paid / rum folk befriended and 'take over' the property for drug use etc - then eviction is the final call . There is no hope for many - house them and the same scenario creeps around with anti social orders along the way - complaints from neighbors . multiple accom doesn't solve the problem,in fact increases as friction is caused . Very often sleeping ion churches /shelter is the only viable option . 20 years ago ,a lot of homeless folk may have been more secure in a mental health accom |
