Obviously on the streets there will be lots of druggies/alcoholics begging who may not be homeless but come on, it's not like they have great lives is it and none of us would swap places with them.

Now professional beggars are a totally different ball game. No need to beg but do so rather than get a job, pay taxes etc and will be claiming benefits too. That said doubt there's that many of them tbh, certainly in Rotherham.

What I do know is homelessness is a really serious issue all over the country and it's getting worse, much worse.

A very sad state of affairs!!!!
And some being forced apparently
