I know that images of the homeIess and rough sleepers are a bit clichéd, but I thought this candid shot illustrated the sad jutxaposition of the haves and the have-nots in our society.

Well the man on the left looks as if he has more than the two on the right but, from his clothes, he's not exactly a plutocrat. Having said that, we badly need to rebalance our society. There's a lot of misery out there and growing anger.

In my town there are increasing numbers of people rough sleeping..............meanwhile we have had empty retail premises left boarded up and decaying for years, which could have been used as night hostels or similar for very little cost. Scandalous..!!

Excellent, Keith. I especially like the contrats between the vibrant ideal world of advertising and the real life on the sidewalk.

Its a striking photograph especially with the wine pouring over him. I bet some of the rough sleepers are ex-forces ( Navy?) in your area

Thanks Colin................I'm not sure to be honest, but it wouldn't surprise me as that would tally with reports about a large number of rough - sleepers nationally are ex-forces.
