durhamjen you could argue the hind leg off a donkey.
I said nothing of alcohol or cigarettes, even though alchohol causes many problems with the homeless, it does to those with a home as well.
I was talking of hard drugs, crack, heroin,etc . Police know that so much crime is committed by drug users, and that so many rough sleepers are addicts, some before they become homeless and some afterwards.
If you were able to take away addicts and those unfortunate people with mental health problems off the streets, there wouldn’t be many left.
