Homeless man speaks on addiction and mental illness - London Street Interview 

Least he’s honest. Poor bloke looks and sounds in a bad way. Hope he gets clean from drugs and can rebuild his life

This man is heartbreaking. So sad for so many who get involved with drugs.

Wish I could afford to put him a rehab, God bless him the poor lad 🙏🙏

Pray for Scott.

The guy looks terrible I was an addict for 20 years it takes it toll on your mental health and still does hope he gets help he's quite intelligent but drugs dont discriminate

Poor man really feel for you hope u get sorted out with a home and out of addiction I know the government don't care about people like u I was homeless got in a spot of trouble minor offence and was in custody over the weekend and I came home to a flat all tinned up and lost everything nowhere to live and sank deeper into addiction so please don't let anyone put u down unless they know your story god bless u scott

London s Rough These days innit? Came back for a visit After a few years last week! The increase of homeless people in Central London is insane

Poor man God love him

Seems like he's ready to come clean and is obviously a basically decent bloke

Make your way to the coast and blend in with the next boat and you'll get picked up and looked after.

Jesus Christ seen it all poor bloke is there any help for that man in England come on people help him this is horrific needs an addiction centre to be in 😢

On the up-side , not a grey hair on his head ! And has surprisingly strong voice !

Yeah but when you don't have an address government don't help you. Even if you are a UK citizen

So sad😢 how can I help? I live in siberia 1 of the coldest place on earth but this breaks my heart and soul 😢😢

He needs the hospital for that nose

Drugs and alcohol are a evil circle, councils see it all the time they give them chances but Many cannot do basic things and blow it quickly because of the addiction, social services and key support workers need to be funded but councils are cutting back on the finding once again. but they continue this horrible cycle always something holding them back for example mental health and the addiction Scott is very lucky to get to 47 years old but where is the support for Scott PIP, universal credit he is genuine and we have fakers getting it sad the way things are

He's like someone from the 18th century. 😢

You couldnt do this sat with a hot drink or just not up against a wall like a circus attraction. You are getting a lot from him but dont seem in a rush to help him at all in that moment. I hope you sorted him out with some cash at least, or a tent, sleeping bag? I may be wrong and that is why i ask and tell you my perception because i want to learn. Do not take offence if i am mistaken.

he's a british citizen so he's entitled to benifits and housing. has he tried to get help.

Don't worry all the boat people coming here everyday gets a lovely hotel new clothes a new phone, SHOCKING poor fella

THERES THOUSANDS OF HOMELESS THAT DONT HAVE TO BE HOMELESS AND IM ALLOWED TO SAY IT COZ IV BEEN THERE !, THIS GUY FOR EXAMPLE ISNT BOTHERED ABOUT SORTING HIS LIFE OUT OR HE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ON THE STREETS FOR 15 YEARS ! FACT ! IF THIS MAN WANTED A HOME - DRUG FREE AND GET THE RIGHT BENEFITS ID DO IT FOR HIM IN 6 MONTH'S OR LESS !, FACT !, AND THOUSANDS MORE LIKE HIM TOO BUT ONLY IF THEY WANT THE HELP AND SEE IT THROUGH 🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

And then we have all these asylum seekers , nice & warm & eating better than the average working family in the uk …….. 1% of the care from what asylum seekers are getting , would probably make the world of difference to this man 💯 Really hope he gets the help he needs 💯

I doubt he will see 47 more years, which is sad but rough sleepers normally live 4 years at the most, with health issues and mental health its even worse.i know aunty and uncles often don't want to know there own family at times, im lucky to have a roof over my head i think we all are really lets hope he gets a place and moves on, i know a few people who have.

I was homeless over ten years ago. Due to drink divorce. Its a diffrrent World lving on the street. Drugs,legal or illegal,swopped like sweets. Give it a try,totally alone,no help. Its not that far than you think.

Poor Man.

Sunak's London. 😡

He stlill thinks it's all his responsibility !

That man needs help

Not really a good interview style,
