Very sad I have spoken to this lady and used to see her a lot when I used the tube station nearbye.

Poor old love.
It sickens me to see elderly people living as she lived when the government pays out loads of dosh to lazy arseholes, whose only contribution to society is that they pop out a baby every year for the rest of us to support through our taxes.

aww that's sad :(

Omg she died!!! :eek:

That's awful. R.I.P. :sad:

No home since 1977? That's disgusting.

Maybe she should have moved into Heathrow Airport , she'd probably have an Internet fund approaching a million quid by now...!!!

Bless her, this is so sad and I echo Jenny that seeing people like this makes me so sad when lazy people sit and live on handouts.

Thats a real shame
once a Top piano player

Yes if she moved there
she could have had a bit of the car Park

She was an eccentric, anyone who'd bothered to read the article would know she shunned offers of help.
Of course with a limited perspective atop a soapbox it's a struggle to understand how anyone would choose to live that way.

But she choose not to go into any homes
did not want help

Nobody that age should even be living on the streets. So sad, poor woman :( May she R.I.P.

[She politely declined all offers of help which included housing,
getting a freedom bus pass and other matters.

"Why she chose to adopt such a harsh life style
is unclear - but she never moaned or criticised.
She never sought any form of help either. I saw her all over London."]

How sad. She must have been vulnerable. The welfare state has really become a skewed parody of itself.
