Yeah, but then they're just unemployed wastrels living off the state who need to get a job not sit on their arse costing the taxpayer money!A good experiment would be to stand for election on a ticket of "spending taxpayers' money to house the homeless" - and see how many votes you would get.
Even if you narrowed it down to "white English homeless"...
Locals who need help only ever seem to be recognised when there is a chance a non-local might get some. Any time before or after they are ignored at best and actively harassed at worst. I think some people just resent helping others.
