General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Just recently I have noticed several people sleeping outside, rough in Wigan Town Centre, with their sleeping bags, cardboard, scruffy clothing etc and not forgetting there begging cup, a plastic drinks cup out of a vending machine ...

Town Hall Leythers staff have got sick of em in Leigh and have sent them packing, back to Manchester, they cleared their tent village and kicked homeless folk out Leigh, during their dinner hour, they asked binmen to do it, but binmen told them to sod off, because had they had a darts match on, back at depot ...

Homeless have been coming here, because Andy Burnham is getting on their backs in central Manchester, by giving them somewhere to go in the daytime and somewhere to sleep at night, getting them off the streets, but in doing so he is taking their living off them, now that sounds stupid doesn't it, but remember, many a true word is spoken in jest, this is exemplified by the 'ex leper sketch in Monty Pythons Life of Brian'

So that is why Wigan is becoming overrun with beggars and homeless folk, its Andy Burnham's fault ...

And there is a chap who sits on the pavement outside of McDonald's in Standishgate in Wigan, he has a begging cup and a white stick, he says and acts as if he is blind, but he is not blind, he is putting it on, so folk will give him more money and I know that is a shocking thing to say

But it is true though
