It's also not easy 'just' letting a room in your house to a stranger!! |

Ididnt want to start a big debate but was just shocked at the difference in the city to 6months ago when i last visited,im always in liverpool and can honestly say that this has never happened to me before,its not the zombie drug that become epidemic in the likes of wrexham ,but drink and other drugs,the woman wh where approacing people were very thin,covered in sores,wide eyes,hyperactive and chatty,men unkept and scruffy always with dogs,and yes i agree with some that this couls be profesional begging.(it does happen)but most of this was not.it was truely awful,and has put me off going to liverpool again. and once again,here in anglesey its illigal to walk around drinking alcohol in the street,it does not mean you cant drink in your own gardon in your own property or in a beer garden because a pub beer garden would be licenced.x |

We get it in Gloucester and Cheltenham although the actual asking for money does seem to have been stopped. They also uncovered those who were begging and who actually had a home. Several were jailed for persistent begging so, although there are still rough sleepers not so many are blatant beggars and we are asked to give food or a hot drink but not money direct to them. |

The Tory party is an evil dishonest and self serving organisation. It has even given up on its vestigial support for democracy. So long as it holds power poverty and misery for millions will be the rule of the day. Bad as things are they are going to get a whole lot worse. |

Joy , that's only the usual Rollo response. Liverpool is a Labour stronghold, need I say more |

It is the same here as you describe AnninG. They found some had their own homes but found it lucrative to beg, others were supplementing their benefits. People are told here to give food or a drink, but not give money. The reason some have dogs is for protection against those who would steal what little they have for drugs, drink etc. |

Our mayor is currently serving his 3rd term (3 years each term) ......... it is an elected position and he has campaigned each time on reducing (hopefully eliminating) the homeless by providing suitable homes for them all. |
