    I'm sure they appreciate you taking photos of them instead of offering any help....

    That's what hacks me off, constant pictures of homeless people, I know they are trying to raise awareness but these pictures aren't necessary, bet they didn't buy them a coffee or food!!

    Please stop playing the blame game. There is help out there for those who
    ask but there are a number who actually choose to live rough.
    Its not got an awful lot to do with government ,we can't just carry on just giving
    to every part of society.

    Actually it has got a lot to do with government, this government has created the conditions which have contributed or lead directly to most of the poverty we see, austerity hits those with little, hardest.
