200 Homeless People Queuing for Food in the Snow
In the News
As you may know, I try to find and share good news stories, but I was so shocked when I saw this, it's 2021 in the UK 
This is shocking to have 200 homeless people waiting in the cold for some food. I really feel for those who had to wait out in this
Me too, it just brings home how many home comforts we take to granted. Just having a roof over your head. This a national disgrace, which unfortunately only gets publicity when it's cold or at Christmas time. Prior to lockdown I used to pass lot of homeless people on the way to work.
beccatavender I bet this isn't a bit of them though, they'll be a lot more that don't even know about it. It's a shame to the one's in power that this is even happening. No matter their lifestyles or circumstances they are still human and deserve our help and compassion, a roof over their head and food is a basic need.
The homeless are getting a really bad deal at the moment as those who try and help them can be arrested https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-9206947/Cancer-sufferer-arrested-serving-soup-disadvantaged-members-community.html
The thing that stood out to me was - how do homeless people get hold of masks? They haven't any money, and, being too close together - they probably congregate 'too close together' on a daily basis.
21st Century indeed! We should be ashamed...and certainly shouldn't let the police get away with it.
tumblespots I cant speak for Scotland but where Im from a lot of stores will hand out masks if a customer hasnt already got one, so they may have got a mask that way.
chelseaturpin I didn't know that as we hardly ever leave the house and have out shopping delivered. I am fast becoming a hermit! 
tumblespots you have the right idea to stay inside better to be safe than sorry xx
Shocking too see and it will probably get worse. The powers to be wont and don’t care about homeless sadly.
I am utterly disgusted in the UK we have homelessness in this country . To suffer the torture of having to wait in utterly terrible weather . I totally think this is worse than the picture in the 70's of the poster of 3 million on the dole . This is real life and there are certain people who should be holding there heads in shame.
