The whole thing is a minefield,,it's easier to just give some money but even then someone will say ''but they'll only use it for drugs''.
I once offered a guy a banana,he'd said he was hungry and it was all I happened to have,,,,he told me he didn't like bananas (fair enough,I suppose,at least he didn't tell me to F off).
On a freezing day I went into a ''well known high street bakery'' to buy a guy a hot sausage roll and a coffee,,they refused to serve me because they knew I was buying for this guy (outrageous),,,I went elsewhere and got him a cream bun as well.
I went home and filled a bag with loads of warm clothes,gloves,socks,a wooly hat and some blankets (all spares,,,it was so cold that I had a massive conscience attack after seeing this guy on the streets) and went looking for him,,,I couldn't find him so I gave the stuff to two young men crouched in a doorway eating jam tarts,,,,they were highly offended that I'd assumed they were homeless (they bloomin well looked like it) but accepted the bag of stuff anyway,,,,they probably just sold it to buy drugs.
In future I'll just throw them a pound and carry on ignoring them like a lot of people do. |
