For an affluent country of the like of UK and its remarkable welfare system, homelessness is unthinkable but a reality and worsening. It is great that some individuals, religious group and Supermarkets have come forward to their aid and provide them with meals, clothing and other necessities.
It is suspected that these homeless people are drug addicts, illegal immigrants, mentally disturbed and individuals that have fallen out with their families and socially rejected ex criminals. I wonder if there are any of this homeless people from South Asian community!
In any case, these unfortunate people are humans and in dire need of help.
