I think you will find that the food makes it way to the homeless some way.

The recent case of a convicted paedophile abusing ja children, and not having crb checks is more the case.

The headlines I can see now, paedophile infiltrates homeless charity supported by marks and spencer, etc etc, I think this is where the ja finally is the author of it's own downfall
