I have heard some are violent and aggressive. But usually when they don't get money when they beg, the drunks are the culprits usually.
The dilemma is are they going to be able to find anywhere to take these substance abusers ?
The pet owners I see more simply. They dogs are really well behaved, tbh I've never seen more well behaved dogs, so why can't they take their dogs with them ? Lack of rental spaces that take dogs is a huge problem for many who want to rent. Why i can never imagine because a decent landlord will have factored in any damage anyone causes deposits are high enough surely ?

Re: Nasty Party has a Heart of Gold
I don't know much about the Windsor area but I have seen 'homeless' beggars turn up in the morning with their dog and a cup of Costa coffee. They then get comfortable on their blanket and sit there begging for a few hours until the family turns up and they leave.05-01-2018, 01:17 PM

Re: Nasty Party has a Heart of Gold
These people are not homeless expect by choice.Muppets like UJ just love to perpetuate the misleading dogma that the country is full of real homeless people. Truth is it isn't.
The country is full of drink/drug addicts who WANT to be on the streets in order to beg by day and to preserve their money by night instead of it going to rent.
Noone, absolutely noone needs to be sleeping rough on the streets.
There IS emergency accommodation in every city across the country. There ARE emergency numbers to ring ANY TIME of the day or night to get such accommodation.
There ARE a wide number and variety of temporary accommodation options out there where people can stay for weeks or months, provided of course they behave themselves and follow the rules.
This country, and most of Europe and the wider world, has a drug problem, plain and simple. It is ruining people's lives, not just those taking the drugs but it has a knock on effect to us all via the funding needed to keep support centres going, for treatment centres, for the various accommodation services and much much more.
This political BS propaganda stuff aimed at trying to get people to home in on the term "homelessness" is frankly pathetic.

But it has to be said that there are two categories of street people: the genuinely homeless and the 'professional' beggars.

I've never been a drinker but when we lived in our car there were some nights I could easily have taken something to make things feel better, that I didn't was more because I had my husband laying beside me and I believed we would eventually get a home. Many don't have that belief nor a strong man laying next to them.

Any damage in private rentals can be fixed with deposit money. I'd actually suggest at current rental rates each new tenant deserves a new carpet and soft furnishings anyway.
They don't get everything provided .
