You may not know but I'm in the vicinity. I'm off round there now to see exactly what the bit left involves.

Of course donating money to a registered charity which will of course make a long term difference is the way to go in general. I know that people living on the street are there for many, various reasons, all of which you mentioned above. But sometimes, just sometimes, when I can't or won't(which is all the time, if I'm truthfull) do anything for that individual a pound toward a can of something that blots out his reality - one which I can't possibly imagine or relate to -has at the very least helped for that short time. I hope I make some sort of point, and my best wishes to your friend in Shelter.

It's all very well and everything, and I understand that he was allowed to do it by Tony Blair. I don't think that any laws have been broken. But is having a scotch bloke in charge of the country, really allowed? I don't think it's happened before, unless I'm completely wrong about the scotch thing. But could I be? Certainly not as far as I can see from The Daily Express, I reckon it goes ahead with it's drumming proprieter Richard Desmond who thankfully appears to like our Prime Minister. Jigger me, you get the impression that Mr Desmond is generous enough to like any old Prime Minister. It makes you think, doesn't it?

Can I just speak to any young people who might have wandered onto this thread by accident. Honestly, it's lovely to see you in all your shiny-cheeked pulchritude. It's not that you're not welcome here EXACTLY it's just that when it comes down to it, when all's said and done I revert to fat bastard bellowing type and I find myself shouting, SOD OFF DOWN YOUR OWN ENDS!! I KNOW YOUR PARENTS!! Funny, ain't it?

And this is a humanitarian and understanding point of view. I always used to take the 'for the sake of feck, there go I' attitude and always donate a pound or whatever shrapnel I had to my name to any rough looking druggy/alchoholy looking gadgy who approached me, this was mainly around where I was kn ocking about, Brixton, Clapham etc. I still do occasionally but I now wonder whether I have the right to do it in other people's neighbourhoods as it certainly encourages people to come and beg and so attract the people who tend to prey on the homeless. However donating food to a homeless person may salve a conscience inasmuch as you haven't contributed to his decline, physically, but as JL pointed out and I'd go along with, in a situation where a person is sleeping up an alleyway in a blanket of newspapers then a pound or two towards a little Special Brew oblivion/numbness could be the kindest contribution a fellow human being could make. Certainly on a short-term basis.
