Ugh, I don't expect there to be too much discussion on this tbh as surely everyone agrees, but how on earth are some people such massive twats? Absolutely vile to do this, and pointless too, why on earth would you want a random homeless stramger to die :(

Awful. But maybe he got it through a drink?

omg this is so disgusting to do, who on earth would be this low?

Well I guess he could have done. But either way, its taken a depraved dickhead of a person to poison him. Like, fine if you don;t want to help them, but whats the point in trying to kill them..or pissing on them..and so on. Just ****ing leave them alone.

Guess, but I would say this was likely one of those 'all homeless people are faking it or are there through their own doing' type people :bored:

It never ceases to amaze me how appalling some people behave ! Hope they find this low life through cctv and deal with them accordingly .

Like everyone else, it's hard to comprehend how someone could do this to someone whose life is already so hard. I hope they find the person responsible.

Yes anger against Homeless
is increasing.

"A homeless man believes he was poisoned with arsenic "


was the doctor a lady called Jan?

and having watched that 3 part docu on "homeless" I doubt he actually is..

Multiple successive governments subliminally (and tbh often overtly) pushing the message that being poor is immoral?

They found arsenic in his system, the "he believes" part is in reference to how he thinks it got there. The first part doesn't seem to be in question?

and his natural conclusion is someone poisoned my chips?

if you search this story its being reported as that is what happened but its just a guess by him

this inaccurate reporting is a symptom of social media and is insidious

and also Vicky can you change the title as it is inaccurate ?

please state this is an allegation

I wonder if it was from the chips or if some drugs he’d taken were cut with something containing arsenic?

I can’t believe people are just walking around the streets with rat poison trying to kill homeless people.
Unless it was some really sick bastard.

It clearly says "he believes" so it's being reported and investigated as what he thinks happened, not objectively what happened :suspect:.

more likely a grudge from some other one trying to steal his pitch but the drugs angle is far, far more likely

Well yes to be fair if he is a drug user, this is more likely.

Removed the chips part, but that he was poisoned is not under dispute.

if for example, the person only had chips to eat in the last 24 hours, it a pretty safe guess that what caused the problem.

Homeless people tend not to eat much, I'm pretty sure this guy is in a much better position to pinpoint how the arsenic got into his system than you are suggesting, hes not just taking a rough guess fgs.

Attempts to rubbish issues like this is a symptom of the heartless society we live in and is insidious.

Poor guy, attempted murder then?

Homelessness shames us as a nation. I can't imagine not having a door I could shut on the world. And then to be at risk of attack from the real dregs of society... it's appalling.

I hope we get an update on this and there's a proper investigation

Horrific. How could you do that to someone?

:(
