Hahahaha.

Friggin' 'ell.

Plant pots.

I dont understand Granny , what am I missing? Whats wrong with the allegory of the homeless in suits? (as long as theres a choice given of course)

"Better dressed than bankers" - where exactly are homeless people going to get these tailored suits from?

It's all ridiculous. People are insane.

They are getting loads of clothes donations. Although I think I get the point they are trying to make re the 'suits' , I think its somewhat ambitious and personally I dont think they need to do it. The festival mentallity is totally unecessary and detracts from a worth cause.

Busy in there today. Loads more supplies now and some furniture in communial rooms

I agree with this statement re. the wearing of suits:

People do not need a suit to make them a better person. I get your sentiment but I find this post somewhat offensive and rather oppressive. Clothes serve other purposes than just warmth. They offer the individual the right of expression, so why would you want to urge people to wear a suit?

However, 9+ have been donated as well as shirts and ties- not bad in such a short time since the request.

Well I dont see I was either oppressive or offensive so we'll have to agree to differ .

They'll be homeless people in cheap donated suits.

It's a desperately sad (but massively humorous) situation.

Most of them wouldn't be homeless and jobless if they put as much effort into getting a job.

They seem to be trying to make an analogy of the homeless people with the bankers. I would think it's purpose is to make a stance in the event of being evicted. (although just my assumption )Thinking,....... maybe it is for them to attend Court on Tuesday

This is why I feel it is particularly unsavoury. If those who are expected to wear them are in agreement, then fine, but it seems to me they are being used..again. Just my opinion and everyone is entitled to their own.

Suits shirts an ties please. People. We want our homeless people dressed better than the bankers who made them homeless wink emoticon

Venice, Rude copied a statement made by someone else on the Love Activist page, nothing against you.

Meanwhile I work my feckn arse off to pay my tax to keep these people in the manner to which they have become accustomed.
There is only so much money in the pot and until more people start putting in than are taking out there will be no winners. Yes there are cuts. Yes it's not nice but as long as folk who are fit enough to attend events like this but not fit enough to do an honest days work then we're all feckin doomed regardless of what political party is in government!

Well said

as well.

Over your pm limit, hun x

Sokay Rude, was too late to delete after I realized you probably didnt mean me. (Granny sorted me out )
