Homelessness in Yorkshire.

Just watched a CCTV clip on the news of a couple of homeless characters sleeping in a shop doorway being jumped on by a trio of thugs. Homeless seem to have it 'rough' in Yorkshire.

Police released this cctv in the hope of identifying these evil, mindless scroats.

They have it rough anywhere, Joe. I saw this in my local paper the other night (if it's the same incident. In Hull?) and it appears the lads who accosted the rough sleepers asleep in their tent had been out on the proverbial p!ss around the town.
I do hope they got arrested for this, it's despicable behavoir.

I saw it on twitter earlier, people calling them animals I objected very much to that, an animal wouldn't do that just for fun. Scum they are absolute scum.

Apalling behaviour !
but a clear CCTV clip
Someone will recognise them I hope .

What's the point? Our limp wristed system will just let them off anyway.

Unfortunately it happens here in Melbourne too.I wouldn't be able to live rough,I would have to do a crime and get caught, to get food and a nice warm bed.

Sad - but very true, Dongles.

Re: Homelessness in Yorkshire.

It makes me sick when I watch those police caught on camera type programmes. The police (and the public) do all the work finding them, then the courts let them go.

Re: Homelessness in Yorkshire.

They've arrested two of the culprits and are seeking the third. Can't see very much being done though.
