I saw that in the paper today Jim, and it made my blood boil.
How untidy of the suffering homeless to litter the pavements like that and spoil the wedding! And it's all their own fault; they actually love being half-frozen in the bitter weather and having to beg, getting spat on and attacked. They probably do it just to annoy us.

'The Homeless' are not a homogeneous set of folk. They have a myriad problems and dozens of reasons for their predicament. Some are mentally ill, others are addicts, some are migrants, others prostitutes, some are youngsters chucked out of their 'homes'. They can be difficult to deal with, and wary of officialdom. The Salvation Army does quite a bit to give them some basic comforts. But this Victorian attitude of 'moving them on' because the sight of them offends....well!!
