As someone who’s been homeless and yes I’ve begged on the streets too, I’m sick of the armchair philosophers and MP’s grubbing for a few votes by pandering to the ignorant by having a go at people who are homeless and beg, don’t give them money, get a job etc etc ad nauseum. At least this is one small victory in the never-ending battle against people that would rather blame the homeless than attempt to sort out the causes therefore helping those who are struggling in life.

I’ve been on the streets and these campaigns make me very very angry
Yes, I’ve been homeless too and like you these pictures and the other surrounding ill-informed bigotry really makes my blood boil. Excellent piece btw, have reblogged. M
