Not exactly 99%. It also depends what type of people you interact with. But the odds are indeed higher someone had a drink or something else silly on West st.

You should really check your facts, both areas are very busy with ordinary people on a Friday and Saturday evening. What are ordinary people please .

woodmally Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) So this guy regularly got offered help. Turned it down and started attacking people. Utterly disgusting some people cannot be helped. https://www.thestar.co.uk/news/sheffield-man-jailed-for-attacking-homeless-couple-1-9547020 Edited January 20, 2019 by woodmally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not drinking would certainly make you the odd one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justinelle Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 For those that find the streets full of undesirables, the solution has already started, and the numbers will decrease shortly. Government abhors low life, in polite circles are referred to as the poor. They regard poverty as a life choice, people choose destitution as a life style. We like to solve this sort of problem, in a way that no individual is to blame, or responsible or accountable. We are not Nazi’s. We do this through using the well practiced method of neglect. Neglect is a wonderful tool, where people die of "Natural Causes". Natural causes is aimed at the homeless and those with a home but not enough money to heat it, in other words poor people. Winter is welcome by bureaucrats as it reduce the problem all without blame. With more people on the streets, and sub zero temperatures to come, many will be warmed up in the crematoriums, reduced to ashes, helping solving the poverty problem. In a good cold snap an addition 30-35 thousand people die compared to the normal death rate and with increasing poverty could be a bumper crop this year. This saves handouts, paying pensions, and increases the housing stock for the homeless left alive after the effects of official neglect. The government realised all some of the poor needed was a nudge, and austerity provided this, as they found on the streets, helpless, rejected, beaten up, and worse. So vote for the people who gave us austerity as they know that neglect will solve all sorts of social and economic problems. Never let the danger of Corbyn come to power, who has a social conscience thus might reduce or even prevent the economic benefits of the annual cull of the poor and undeserving. He is threat to corporate parasitic practices, where the real handouts are to our privatised monopoly sector. Corbyn would damage G4, CAPITA profits when the private sector would be more efficient dealing with the homeless more than just relying on the weather. Who said there was no profit in corporate administrative ineptitude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you worried that they'll attack you or something? Many if not most of them do have somewhere to go. If I need to go into the city centre for shopping I try to do so before 10am as all the 'homeless' beggars are then still at home. Likewise the little Tesco at Bridgehouses roundabout - the regular beggar there never starts his shift before 11, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Not answering the question at all. Does it make you uncomfortable or are you worried that they'll attack you. The denial that people are homeless has been well explored earlier in the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly we are not worried they may attack us per say its just that they play the guilt trip on you and are telling complete and utter lies. Sitting outside cashpoints as you are getting your money. There are many that are not homeless in the city but choose to beg. As for the genuine homeless maybe read this blog by an outreach team and you will see what we are up against. People who are homeless refusing help even though its offered. You can only try to help so much. http://www.helpushelp.uk/blog/our-outreach-teams-out-on-the-streets-daily Edited January 22, 2019 by woodmally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willman Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Why is it an issue for anyone else? Walk past,ignore them or donate to them or report them to the authorities if you must. Their attempts to raise money are no worse than the donkey adverts or the Blue Cross adverts on tv. Homelessness is a different issue to begging.
