The FAKE homeless of Liverpool and a concerning comment from a female.

Hi mate. I’m glad someone is bringing the homeless crisis to light. There is a lot of people I’ve thought aren’t homeless. But it’s hard to tell at times. There’s all sorts of Romanian gangs on the street. As people have said, tarnishes the genuine and desperate

Homeless YouTuber here! Lol I'm female btw. If you can get her in Brydon they will also help with the transport. As a female yes, we are always getting propositioned. It's a sad fact,. Don't feel bad about helping women, anybody can see your heart is in the right place. It's not because of you, but obviously you become extremely cautious as a female. Don't take it to heart mate it's just how it is. Wrong though it may be.

Kev most of the ones with a sign saying homeless hungry god bless are a part of a gang who Operate in most of the cities/towns in the northwest I've seen them being dropped off . Yes Kev billy moore has done a vid on these type of beggers in the city of Liverpool.

I had friends visiting Liverpool a few weeks ago..... I was ashamed to take them into the city, Outside almost every shop front in Church st and around Liverpool 1, was a tent set up with handwritten notices.... People hanging around the cash machines.... and a couple of guys with signs 'please spare 30P'.( that's a new one!) .... It is very noticeable that most of these supposed'homeless' are working together... In Liverpool over the years we had several characters who were known to the passing public and we used to give them a few bob in passing.... but sadly these parasites are wrecking the city.... I now give to shelter and will not give to anyone on the streets.

You just don’t really know who to help now. A guy next to new m&s with a hungry board by him and with a blanket over his head counting out his £10 notes and he had a wad of them.

Women on the streets are either living in government boarding or at have a place to stay, if they don't they are either drunks or smackheads because women are catered for but have to give up the drink or drugs to live there; men are rarely catered for or lucky. I'm glad you mentioned the non-homeless, as there are a lot in Liverpool (I don't know about the rest of the country) who have a house and take it as free money on top of their benefits; taking it away from the proper homeless. Same for people selling the Big-Issue nowadays, as it's full of people from abroad who are also living in a house and making extra money either themselves or in a bigger gang. Selling the Big Issue used to be for a year or two until you are on your feet. Now, it's full of foreigners who have been doing it for ten years or so, and have nice clothes on and disappear four or five times a year when they go back home abroad to see family.

Be careful mate, your good will and compassion could be used against you, some of these ppl are very vulnerable and come from difficult backgrounds.. if an allegation was made against you it is much harder for you to prove it’s false than it is for them to make the allegation. Stay safe and well done for caring enough to help !!

You need to be careful with some of these people.... Seriousy . Seriously

I made a conscious decision some years ago not to give money to people begging in the street. I based this on clear evidence that the money people often blindly hand over to beggars in the street is used for substance abuse, alcohol consumption and also gambling. So rather than fuel people's addictions and line the pockets of drug dealers especially, I would donate the occasional spare cash I have to legitimate organisations who are dedicated to helping people break these addictions.

Hey Kev. You have good heart and a Christian soul. I think you would make a great street pastor, maybe it's your calling. But you do have to be careful when dealing with vulnerable people. They probably have had people who have offered to help them in the past, only to find out that they had ulterior motives, so it must be hard for them to trust people who genuinely want to help.. Keep up the good work and stay safe.

It's the same in all popular cities, the locally housed junkies call it "work" and they are usually maxed out on benefits including PIP.

That girl that cleared off with the other girl is a new addition... she asked me for money the other day... definitely not homeless.... bleached hair with no roots!! unfortunately lot of people blagging now....as a 55 year old woman with diabetes and arthritis still working for minimum wage, most of my income pays for my one bedroom flat,i don't claim any benefits...i used to give to some homeless but not anymore...i couldn't afford a new coat this winter, some of them are better dressed than me.

95% are not homeless,you definitely always know them straight away bud,👍

Lancashire police have year ago stated that most of the people on the streets do have social housing but are earning a good living on the streets..

Loads of fake homeless in town mate..quite a lot go to Anfield on match days aswel..they take away from the real homeless like you said mate...must go the gallery when you're photos are up.

I’ve been following you for a few weeks now. You are doing a great. job helping these people. The world needs more people like you .I’m in NZ my husband was scouse and have been to Liverpool many times. Homelessness seems to be a worldwide problem.

It's a tricky one, I honestly think you're doing the right thing. I would be torn myself, I'd want to help, but as I previously worked in homeless services for vulnerable people in Dublin, I know the risks. You could be accused of anything, even if you're covering yourself with your footage. If you were to help directly, it would be best through existing charities.

Great watching this journey you’re on, highlighting & learning about different aspects of homelessness.

I 18th century writer William Hazlitt explained it. To be brief. You help someone and next time you see them they are rude and ungrateful to you. The reason is that being grateful is very wearing and the feeling flees quite quickly so in order to emphasize that you feel under NO obligation to your helper you are rude and obnoxious.

Hi Kev, I have just watched your latest ' homeless ' video and I find it upsetting with what all this is doing to you. So sad hearing about Mary and the situation in which she finds herself. It's a fact that you take a chance talking to any women or children these days. This all seems to be taking its toll on you and I worry about you and what you're taking on. I wonder if you might be better joining an organised group if you want to continue this work because doing it alone can affect your safety and mental health. Taking the homeless off the streets will always be a job for city councils and the government, but they don't seem interested so people like you take this huge job on your shoulders when you shouldn't have to. I worry about you Kev, you have a family who rely on you but you have taken on this crusade, God bless you for the care you show, I hope it's all worth it. ❤
