Nonsense.

The majority of homeless in this country are homeless because they cannot afford a home because they have more outgoings than incomings.

That is usually the result of drug addiction, alcoholism etc.

If this woman doesnt drink, smoke, gamble or take drugs she is much better off than most homeless people in regards to getting off the streets.

If she was in hospital she is in the system, and as such if she had said she was homeless she would have got a social worker who would have found her a one room bedsit paid for by the state or at least something for her to be discharged too untill she can get on a waiting list for a council property.

Septicaemia is a blood infection, and having it in the leg is consistent with somebody using heroin long term who cannot get good veins in their arms, the legs are often used at that point, sometimes the foot to hide needle marks.

Personally i dont buy her story one bit, but thats because i know people with long term drug addiction problems, i also know somebody who was homeless because of drug problems.
