In an old church graveyard, not far from Canterbury West train station, we had to look twice to make sure we weren't 'seeing' (imagining) things:
My travelling companion joked:
"I hope they're tourists on holiday. But it's a strange place to camp, isn't it?"
It certainly was, and the first time in my life that I'd seen it:
Still, if the graveyard campers were homeless, it was a much safer place to sleep than in a High Street doorway:
And it kind of looked like the Anglican church was allowing the campers to set up tent amongst the graves, which I guess could be viewed as a genuine act of charity.
But a much bigger question must be asked concerning what the British State is doing to help (often British) homeless people.
Don't understand why illegal migrants from Africa and other distant foreign places are given blatant preferential treatment over homeless British people. This really is taking the p*ss.
