Most of them are just wanting for their drug addiction, like that story previously I know sometimes they get pushed down that path but no sympathy I’m afraid.
Coming back from a game once and walking towards Piccadilly homeless guy got a £10 note off a gentleman waited till he was gone and jumped in a taxi.
Admittedly I haven't been in the City Centre for a bit but I thought Andy Burnham vowed to tackle this when he became Mayor. Any signs of progress at all ?
Welcome to the real world,there are nowhere near enough places for them to go,a soup kitchen and a squat are as good as it gets,most don't even have a roof to live under,life is a bitch when you are at rock bottom and there is not much hope of getting back your life unless someone is kind enough to help you,the governments off all colours don't provide enough help and don't get me started on foodbanksAll of these are supported to some extent, I understand how people end up living in temporary accommodation and shelters etc. But there’s surely enough out there so you don’t have to literally sleep on the streets?
Lol you got meKaren is off on one again.. pff.

You are so wrongHmm I think the majority are drug addicts and refuse help as it means giving up on drugs.
I work and live in town and most are off their faces.

If this is true.. what does it mean? As a straight shooter or however you imagine yourself to be, does it make addiction any less real? Does it make sleeping on concrete ok, cos they're druggies. Are you saying that the majority are somehow swindling us? The givers? That most are taking advantage of our silly emotions?
Was he a vegan?I was in Chicago once and walked out of a pizzeria with a to go box. A homeless person asked me for some change. I offered the rest of the pizza to him. His response was “what’s on it?” When I told him he said “no thanks”.
Thanks to him, I only offer food or beverage now.
But I still donate to local charities.
Beggars can't be choosers I believe the phrase is.Was he a vegan?
you need stats to understand human nature and be empathetic to people so broken they are sleeping in doorways? you seem to have a i'll pick and chose which homeless person i feel for,or maybe you don't give any of them a 2nd thoughtDo you have any statistics or specific experience to counter what I’ve said?
It means that society isn’t necessarily ALWAYS to be blame for every person, there’s obviously some people who have fallen through and have been let down but there’s a lot that are constantly off their faces from what I can see from being in Manchester every day.

It's uncontroversial to claim people make bad decisions.. if you understand addiction, you'd see that the lives they live aren't their choice.
