He might have been trying to check his validity for a free meal!
He didnât exactly say that thought did he ?
He was just trying to show some interest which seems to be outlawed today and itâs catching .
I asked a man ( an assistant in B and Q ) where he came from the other day as he had a definite accent and immediately said Iâm sorry I shouldnât have asked you . He laughed and said he didnât mind a bit and he was from Newcastle ! Sorry Georgies !
What I would like to see would be Prince Andrew sweating ( or not sweating as the case may be ) in a homeless shelter . Doing a real job for a change and showing a bit of repentance . Not for associating with dubious characters but for being a total embarrassment and useless incumbent to the British people for the majority of his life !
I made a conscious decision not to tune in to King Charles darling mama Christmas message .
Christmases past I did like to watch to see what clothes and jewels the queen would be wearing as she delivered her message.
However King Charles face looming in Christmas Day âŠâŠNo !
Richie Sunak dishing out in a soup kitchen made me want to vomit.
His money could solve everyoneâs crisis.
Please donât be offended I donât expect anyone to agree with me
This is a man so removed from the everyday world that he appears to get a kick from role-playing service-sector jobs. In 2020, he impersonated a waiter at Wagamama to promote his ill-fated (and fatal) âeat out to help outâ scheme after lockdown. Now heâs serving a full English with a smile. What began as a publicity stunt is beginning to look dangerously like a fetish. And there he was last Friday in front of the cameras, serving breakfast to the down and out when Dean appeared.
wiki says rishi was a waiter at a curry house in Southampton during his school summer holidays. good for him. and I remember that wagamama episode. He is good at it.
Even his money couldnât solve everyoneâs crisis but I agree large donations would help and not just Richie Sunak.
There are many mega rich families in the U.K. starring with our own Royal Family .
I did watch the Kings Speech just to see the New King saying it and it was mercifully short .
But itâs no use just sympathetic words ( which are Iâm afraid meaningless from a man who will never suffer hardship in any way ) he has to act and not only act but be seen to act .
He could build some houses for a start .
Call them what you like arms houses / King Charles own and help the housing crisis .
He has a massive property portfolio and ir numeral houses as does Richie Sunak .
Build some more for people to live in .
Do not give them to the local councils ( once in council hands they will be sold off )
Make them some sort of foundation .
He could do it .
At least he is getting out there with the people .
As you say Sunak money if not solve the house housing /food/heating crisis it could make difference⊠Especially if Charles with all his sympathy chipped in.
Whatâs Needed is a bit more actions speak louder than words

I agree.If they cared at all, they would do somethingâŠthe fact they are not really doing much apart from being condescending patronising wafflers shows they couldnât really give a monkeys.

Yes but itâs a bit much to expect palatial mansions to be offered up .
Homeless people are not known for looking after peoples property .
Do you count homeless people as plebs ?
Plebs are us ,the hoi polloi the tax payers !
Homeless people are not even on the radar .
Most taxpayers are struggling to keep their end up and many are suffering compassion fatigue.
So while Richie offering his town house up to the homeless would be a nice gesture it wouldnât make me vote conservative.

These are strange times, whilst laid up on the sofa, Iâve been watching a fair bit of the âYesterdayâ channel, on which, most ad breaks are occupied by very valid requests for charitable donations to worthy causes, but, I just grind to a halt in dilemma. I spent the time trying to workout how much it would cost a month to give the minimum ask to each of them and i bet some folks do.
You sound as though homeless people are a separate entity? There are lots of people who have a roof over their heads, who also donât pay tax

not half as embarrassing as Borisâs hi-viz fetish.
I donât believe it has to down to housing the homeless in palatial residences.
However The Duchy of Cornwall has vast stretches of land, a small part of which could be offered up for housing as indeed was the private estate now known as Poundbury a successful build on Duchy of Cornwall land .
The Crown estate is not the kings to give away .Pound bury has very expensive houses for sale but also does have some social housing run by the Guinness trust . I donât know that King Charles actually has paid for them to be built i very much doubt it .
In fact most homeless people do have a roof over their heads . People who actually live on the street are special cases and many have drug or mental issues .
Except that they donât want ÂŁ5 as in just give ÂŁ5
They want you to sign up to ÂŁ5 a month .
Which is ok but you canât give to everyone .
Poundbury built Duchy of Cornwallâs land is mix of private and affordable housing. Youâre quite right in saying Charles didnât pay for the houses to be built .
Wouldnât it be a good idea if gifts given to HRHâs were sold and the money raised put to good use .
Instead of unloved unwanted unseen .
