I’ve seen policemen attacking homeless people, who I was feeding, in London. When I complained a policeman tried to pick a figjt with me.
For part of last year it was illegal to feed homeless peope or to sleep in the street in Central London. However a lot of homeless charities and their clients protested and this was overturned.
