    Utter bollocks. But then again, it's the Daily Mail; the only surprising thing is that somebody thinks it's worth posting.
    Amen.....

    I've absolutely no problems giving cash/food/drink to folks sat on their arse in a town centre. There before the grace of god or something like that.

    I don't think it's a nice situation to be in where you are prepared to show everyone who passes by you, that you are absolutely on your arse.

    Compared to Gideon saying "we've not got a pot to p*ss in", what's the difference?
