Its happening everywhere these days, begging for booze or fags.best idea is go into a shop and buy them a burger or a hot drink.I bet a bottom dollar they will want the money rather than anyone buying food. Try it, let us know how you get on.... Also, consider what it is like being a homeless person- maybe with an addiction of some sort- as stated above, who are we to judge their priority need?

Go to Liverpool mate.open your eyes, they are begging {same ones every night}you will find they most prefer alcohol than food.Its fact.

Have you ever stopped to look how much money is in their 'pot'? they take the money out and pretend they have none! my mate used to beg, and used to put a shopping trolley token in the pot to make it look like there where real minge bags out there who would "donate" such an item

@Rudebox.Have you ever begged in the streets?Ive know some who dont beg but work 24/7 to keep a roof over there heads eating hardly anything to survive[no booze as they can t aford it].Homeless don t need to be homeless or begging, There is help out there.but them who work hard dont get any help.I rest my case.

There are some very genuine cases of need, out there on the streets. Maybe not all are so genuine but many are.
The chap in question has an address and would appear to have mental health issues but we don't know this.
If you don't have a permanent address, you can't get a job or benefits. If you can't get a job or benefits, you have no roof.
We cannot suggest that one size fits all, as we have no idea how people end up in this situation.
So far as the charities go, they have little or no space left for the homeless. So what is the answer ?
In London they have the night crew, going around the streets to the cardboard box people, giving them soup. The same happens in many a European country. Does anyone on Wirral do that ? I don't know. Maybe there aren't enough beggars ..yet!

STINGEBAGS!  And Ste`s quote from another thread.. "Now, Theres the kid from birkenhead who has just recieved an asbo banning him from parts of the area due to begging. This dude has no money obviously so he's asking for help and look what happens! Great help that aint it?" "people are so stingey these days, cant even put their hands in their pockets for a measly quid???" from original post.. "He often targets women with young children or the elderly and would follow them causing intimidation and distress." Oh, so this is fine with Ste, maybe Ste would like this man to follow his missus. stop stirring the spoon zipper and get back to your zimmer frame. besides, how do you know im not bent?
