      It sounds like he has had help but doesn’t always make use of it. He has universal credit, millions of others on it are not seeking extra money on the street.

    Sounds like a very intelligent man with a lot of sensible things to say such a shame you’re on the streets my friend I think if someone if gave you a chance even at your age now you would take it and grasp it and make something of yourself because you have definitely got what it takes. I have just retired recently from my roofing business. I employed several people working with me on site and I would have no hesitation to employ you my friend. By the way great Head of hair I’m jealous😊👍 God bless you and good luck to you in everything you do. I’ve got a feeling things are gonna turn for you in the right way❤.

    Homeless does not necessarily mean low IQ and low standards as this man obviously proves.
    He has a wisdom about him that belies his social status as of this moment in time.
    He will probably never get to read our comments, which is a pity , but I wish him well and to know that he has a voice and one that’s worth listening too.

    I think age concern should get in contact, he is 66 he cannot live like this another 10 years, ive know a guy who choose to be homeless until he was 67, he did keep clean and lived in a village, he now has a flat and works there is hope he spent 40 years living in sheds,and taken food and showers with local people helping out.

    Tam, great bloke, very intelligent, interesting, well turned out, and verbally articulate, has all the qualities of a good youtuber that could and should earn money on this platform, rather than pass through it as a 'homeless' person. I would subscribe to his channel, and providing I like his politics etc., I'd be glad to donate.
    Well done Tam!, breath of fresh air mate!.

    This is going to be a very unpopular recollection, I know, but I am old enough to remember when the average man in the street (as it were then, and pardon the pun!) rightly or wrongly viewed homeless people in general as a group (or vagabonds & beggars as they were called by ordinary people back then) as feckless and having brought about their own situation. It was a deeply held view. It's really interesting to see more than half a century later how attitudes and signposts to responsibility have changed. I suppose seeing and hearing individuals' stories told in their own words makes a big difference and stops people othering them as part of a faceless group.

    There are homeless people that however much concern and assistance is given they just always drift back to sleeping rough. Some cannot stand the solitary life in a room by themselves, at least on the street they are amongst others like themselves in night shelters.

    I have watched videos about homeless people on the streets of London for the past 3 hours. This man and another man and a lady they are so clever and witty. I always thought that they were I guess it's just some people are just unfortunate to become homeless and yeah some of them like this man are kind, clever and funny. I wish the Government could give them somewhere to live permanently but I suppose Shelters are the only thing they have to offer them and some of them prefer the streets to shelters.
