What a thought-provoking article by Gary Saxton, editor of the homeless magazine Rhythm Of The Streets.
I sense despair in his words at the "I'm all right Jack, it's their own fault anyway" brigade that seems to prevail in our society.
I do give to beggars and buy a Big Issue each week. Why? Because I feel for these people and if my few pounds can alleviate that, be it through a hot meal, alcohol or even drugs, then that's fine by me.
