The mortality rate among London’s homeless has gone up over this harsh winter as the usual shelters have been full of celebrities and journalists trying to highlight the plight of the homeless. BBC’s Famous, Rich and Homeless was responsible for taking out dozens of London’s most vulnerable people as celebs pretended to be homeless for a week and deprived real homeless people of their begging money and cardboard boxes.
Recently a homeless man starved to death after Prince William took his Big Issue pitch for a photo opportunity. Caring locals have also stopped giving money to beggars since most of them seem to have Breitling watches and Blackberrys, leading them to believe they are not genuine.
