Talking of cleaning up; a few years back my lad saw a druggie sat having a bath in a puddle of rain water right by Six Ways Island at the Birmingham end of the High Street. During the afternoon rush hour! No bubble bath obviously but he was doing the best he could to have a bit of a clean. True story.
Probably the guy was another sad case of someone homeless who had struggled with addiction. The majority do not choose to be homeless. Meanwhile there is a huge amount of single men are in warm cozy hotels with three meals a day and hot water. It would not surprise me if this government give them turkey and mince pies. Makes you weep,
