Glenn Tamplin has said he feels "kicked in the teeth" after the two homeless people he gave jobs at Billericay Town Football Club stole and took drugs.
If only it could have been predicted...
Speaking to the Echo, he said: "I'm gutted.
"We caught Ray taking drugs and sent him to rehab in Southend.
"Richard was given a job.
"We bought him clothes, fed him every day, paid him £80 per day wages and he decided he was going to steal the sound system from the changing rooms which was worth about £5,000 as well as anything else he could get his hands on.
"It is not going to stop me trying to help the homeless.
"My purpose is to help those less fortunate.
"The club and community will only grow stronger from this."
I guess it's true, there really
is such a thing as 'no bad publicity'.

Hey, don't knock it, at least there's one liberal using his own money for virtue signalling instead of expecting us to pay for it.
More grist to my theory that the only people left in the gutter nowadays are the people who put themselves there by their own bad choices. Everyone else gets enough assistance that if they are decent and do their side of the bargain, they'll get help and get on. People like this just show some can't be helped, because they're not even prepared to meet you a quarter of the way.

Very true!
