Do you agree, neatly put or what

The other day I was by our garden gate weeding the flower bed and our neighbours, who are committed socialists walked past on the way home from walking their dog with their little girl.

We started chatting and I asked the little girl what she would do if she became Prime Minister when she grew up.

She replied that she would give all the homeless people money to buy a house and food.
Her parents beamed!
I replied that she didn’t actually have to wait till she grew up, she could come and work for me tomorrow and finish my weeding, mow the lawn and sweep the patio and I would give her £50 to give to the guy who was always sitting begging outside the supermarket.

She thought for a moment, then looked me in the eye and asked. ‘Why doesn’t the man begging by the supermarket just come and earn the money himself, rather than me earning it for him?’

I replied. ‘Welcome to the Conservative Party!’

That didn't really happen though, as I've read the same story numerous times elsewhere over the years.

But I look forward to you employing the homeless to do your garden.

Nekega dne sem bil z našimi vrtnimi vrati, ki so pletali cvetlično posteljo in naši sosedje, ki so se zavezali socialistom, so šli mimo doma, da bi hodili s svojim psom.

Začeli smo klepetati in sem vprašal deklico, kaj bi naredila, če bi postala predsednica vlade, ko je odraščala.

Ona je odgovorila, da bi vsem brezdomcem dala denar za nakup hiše in hrane.
Njeni starši so bili bleščeči!
Odgovorila sem, da ni morala počakati, dokler ne odraste, lahko jutri pride in dela zame in zaključi mojo plevela, kosi travnik in pometem teraso in ji dala 50 Euro, da bi dala osebi, ki je bila vedno sedi prosjačenje zunaj supermarketa.

Pomislila je za trenutek, nato pa me je pogledala v oči in vprašala. "Zakaj človek, ki ga je prosil supermarket, ni ravno prišel in sam zaslužil, namesto da bi ga zaslužil?"

Sem odgovoril. "Dobrodošli do Slovenska demokratska stranka!"

Yes, welcome! All our thinking is like this and this is how we have come to the present state of our land o' plenty.
We have actually made life on the streets so attractive that we have achieved double the numbers making this lifestyle choice. We expect further rapid progress in this area after our excellent work on Brexit.
This is how we like it and you would have to be mad to think any other way.

PS Behhhhh!!

Following the theme of nonsense in modern life such as - throwing some toasted crumbs onto a plate over a thin smear of fruit that is surrounded by micro dots of custard (oops sorry - creme anglais) and calling it a de-constructed minimalist crumble.
Aren't the homeless merely deconstructed minimalist urban campers?

Having said that - if I don't finish painting that back wall in our dining room tonight living on the streets is going to look pretty appealing.

You might have no choice - if the job is not done, your Mrs may throw you out on the streets! Then you can find out about deconstructed minimalist urban campers.

Many of the figures for homeless people include a number of addicts who seek to fund their personal habits. They are not homeless. Also included are those who travel to the UK to work on the farms, but refuse to pay a rent or bills to save their money. They are not homeless. There are approximately, according to the Independent, approximately 4,500 people sleeping rough on the streets of England, many of these are not British nationals.
