A terrible example. But here we can see a large number of the homeless, some of them Santas, huddling together for warmth and comfort during the harsh winter months.
How they come to meet up like this annually is not yet understood by science.
Perhaps there is some form of internal GPS system at work, or maybe one eye sensitive to magnetic fields, all able to guide the homeless to a place of congregation.
Some with ill fitting, hand-me-down jeans, many of them unable to stand. It is a sorry state of affairs, for one of the richest countries in the world, to have such an example of waste and loss right here on our doorstep.
What can be done?
Well the answer to that ought not to be charity, and the government should ensure that society assists those that have fallen through the net, for whatever reason, by making sure that taxation is set at a level which enables us behave in a humane and caring way towards our fellow humans.
Hang on a minute, I've just put my specs on, are these actually just young people in fancy dress?
Even so, they probably still need our help.
