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.
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!!!
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!
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.
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.
Just stick the needle in their arm.
Is this satire?
If you like having bums around.
Exactly. It's my money. Enough of it goes to taxes and charities and tips to hard-working people already. I get to choose how I spend it and to whom I give it.
Hey Matt
How much have YOU PERSONALLY given the homeless? How many ave you put up in your house? How many do you let camp in your back yard?
Yeah — thought so.
