Homeless is a product of our greedy, uncaring society. Anyone can become homeless but more likely people from dysfunctional families maybe kicked out at an early age. I've been homeless many times, it's very common these days as properties are used as a weapon like food is in some countries. It's a surreal experience and I live rurally not homeless in city which would be scary, I'm housed the now 4 many years. The rich get richer the poor get poorer, lots of reasons u mite become homeless.

Lots of people are full of booze and drugs every night.....and they have homes and jobs??

So what can you expect if you are sleeping on concrete and freezing every night. I would probably jump on the motorway to finish it all! He is very brave to continue the painful existance.

I enjoy giving to the homeless. Never money, but once my leather jacket and often food.

Hope life improves for him.

I do feel sorry for these people, but I hate that mentality that we owe them something......like he doesn't like to be shrugged off by someone who 'could' give him money......but it's not their fault he's there and it's not their problem either. I bet they would have done the same before they were homeless and now it matters coz it's them?

@malutka112 I began a charity called Homeless Is Still Human (HISH) after being homeless myself a few times. It is all about trying to change the way that peopple view homeless people and rough sleepers and making people realise that the homeless are exactly the same as anyone else and it's quite possible that you, yourself, may become homeless within a month (it happened to me).

@blueiguana27 If you are still doing your research into homelessness in Birmingham then please drop me a line, as I fouded a charity called Homeless Is Still Human (HISH) after being made homeless myself several times in my life (went from being a millionaire businessman to sleeping rough) without ever having a drink or drugs addiction or mental health issues.

You should change the color of the subtitles, they're a bit difficult to read.

@floridawolfedogg "a welfare state can never render enough aid to help everyone"....The Australian welfare state is doing a good job. There is much less homelessness. There is plenty of crisis accommodation for the homeless.

[floridawolfedogg]

I really feel for people like this; however, a welfare state can never render enough aid to help everyone, deserving of it or otherwise. Much has been written as to the manifold causes of poverty and homelessness, but the individual's abandonment of all hope is what seems to seal one's fate.
