So what the hell is going on in Windsor? Leader of the counsel asks the Police to get rid of all the rough sleepers in the town prior to the upcoming royal wedding. This smacks of something akin to ethnic cleansing, just because a deadbeat blue blood is getting married that's not a reason to inflict more misery on those unfortunates forced to live on the streets of Windsor Phil

I can't work out why there are so many homeless people in Windsor when there's a great big fuck-off palace they could all be living in.

A fair amount of the palace castle is inhabited by 'servants' on minimum wage that don't always pay their TV Licence...

Well I reckon Prince Harry would have been mightily pissed off when/if he heard about it.

I find it unfortunate that rough sleeping is considered to be the same as begging on the street. Not the same thing at all, and the latter gives the former a bad name.

The news report that highlighted this showed the owner of an Italian restaurant in Windsor verbally attacking a homeless aid worker who was trying to assist some rough sleepers. The owner of the restaurant blamed the homeless for the lack of trade st his eatery. The Police escorted the aid worker away, I'm not sure why. Phil

Phil By what you say I think the police perhaps could have been more gainfully employed by issuing a warning to the owner of the Italian restaurant...aid workers do a great job they shouldn't be abused in this way....

Phil If you substitute the word “beggar” for “rough sleeper” you get a slightly different picture. After all, these “rough sleepers” were not actually asleep, were they? i am all for giving support and help to the homeless, many of whom have mental health problems that our society is very bad at helping with, but we have a welfare system that means people should not need to beg on the high street. Street begging should not be encouraged by aid workers.

Street begging should not be encouraged by aid workers. Aid workers very rarely encourage begging. If a better system is ever likely to exist then the welfare system will need to change to cope with those that have mental health problems.
