Harassing Homeless Sympathisers

God forbid you care enough to gradually build up a soup kitchen facility for your local homeless so that it reaches numbers ranging from 50 - 100. That kind of do-good gesture will bring you the kind of negative attention that can only be interpreted as harassment.

Anastasia, only 23, was moved to establish a local soup kitchen to feed her fellow residents (albeit homeless) in March of this year, roughly around the same period of time I was beginning to consider this blog.

Bournemouth Council - despite professing all over the media to truly care for the homeless and funnelling funding in order to do so - frowned upon Anastasia's soup kitchen efforts. It seems the inconvenience was more pressing an issue than taking care of actual homeless needs. This in the face of campaigns focused on barring any ad-hoc giving to this same homeless and hungry population.

What I want to ask is why are people constantly being ranked in importance so that the homeless continually rest at the bottom of the food chain - literally!

I would argue that a little gathering of people receiving vital nourishment out-weighs the minimal inconvenience of obstructing the 'public conveniences'. Furthermore, there have been no public disorder issues to date - the soup kitchen has been running peacefully and successfully since it's inception in March.

If law enforcement were so hung up on public disorder threats - I suggest they focus on the many local nightclubs where the real nuisance tourists and paying residents act out on a daily basis.
