Meg doing a Di may backfire
I’ve bought c coffees for homeless people in shop doorways doorw and given money to youngsters begg begging.
But if anyone was high on drugs I’d think: “They’ll jus just use cash to get a fix. How can you he help someone who won’t help themselve themselves?”
Havin Having spent a few days on the streets of Cardiff, I now realise rea just how many homeless addi addicts and alcoho alcoholics DO help them themselves – only to be failed by this Tory government.
Sar Sarah, 36, had a dad who w was a drug dealer and was ad addicted to heroin and crack at the age of 13.

And, while I’ve often stood up for this new royal bride, I think it’s utterly hypocritical to then let pals USE the press to crown her Princess Perfect.
