WHAT a hard-hearted lot your on-line (wirralglobe.co.uk) readers are, speaking about the homeless with such scorn.

There are many reasons that people become homeless - and some of the victims have held good positions at one time while others leave home because of abuse.

Thank goodness for people like Pastor Rob Jeffs and, incidentally, a truly pagan people - the ancient Greeks - declared that the gods would curse a man who cursed a beggar.

These homeless are humans, too - remember that.
