Strolls up to a beggar sat with his dog wrapped in a blanket. Beggars eyes light up at the sight of the sausage rolls.

scothunter 12,609 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 the salt content will do it no good. out of all the bakers griegs is the worst imo. pies sausage rolls far to much salt. nice gesture all the same. he might have handed the bag to the dogs owner might not be his fault for being on the street. i gotta admit i do feel sorry for them, once i bought a duvet for one in edin. was only 20quid but im sure it kept the poor bugger warm. some of them have mental health issues aswell. sad that in 20012 folk still live on the street. 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Simoman 110 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 if you're homeless now in this country it's your own fault. no 2 ways about it. I disagree, at one point i was out of work and went to citizens advice, and spoke to the benefits people, despite having no savings, young children and bills i was told it would take 18 weeks for the benefits to kick in, i was entitled to a 25% reduction on my council tax and a job seekers claim of £67.50, what f*****g use was that after 20 odd years of paying tax and national insurance contributions. How can £67.50 pay for a families food/mortgage/gas/electric/water rates/tv licence/house insurance/car insurance/food etc etc...... Simple answer is it can't, we could of easily found ourselves on the street, unfortunately in this country you only get benefits if you have paid feck all into the system and play the discrimination card.............. So i do feel sorry for SOME of the poor buggers living on the street, there is no doubt SOME are there as they have mental health issues, problems or have fallen upon shit times, not all are freeloaders. Perhaps if our government cared more about the problems on these shores and less about whats going on in other countries we would have hundreds of billions to get our own ship in order.........

THLpatrick 555 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 if you're homeless now in this country it's your own fault. no 2 ways about it. so my mums brother, my uncle who died around 6months ago lived on the street after finding his girlfriend hung in his flat, is that his fault? maybe it is that he nevewr stayed strong, or maybe he felt nothing was worth living for and once you fall sometimes no one can help you, not even yourself, be carefull what you say, im sure its easier to fall into that trap than you think 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
