I was in leicester square, got into a discussion with a young man around the fact i was homeless.

Most we re 7 were actually urinated on. Most were attacked by people they didnt know. Its notjust the incident itself but its the impact it has on that individual, on their Mental Health, on their ability to even ask for help. We found that most Homeless People who are sleeping feel ashamed already and surely if youre then urinated on your going to feel more ashamed and even more marginalised. Crisis say Homeless People rarely report crimes as they dont think the police will take them seriously. They want officers to send a strong message to rough sleepers that their safety is paramount and that any abuses they suffer will be fully investigated. Michael buchanan, bbc news.

The Prison Service is saying that a wing needed to be controlled and that was confined to one landing and the Prison Service is saying around 1am this morning the inmates surrendered and went back into their cells.

Time to do the Christmas Shopping Crystal Palace say they will move quickly to replace alan pardew who was sacked afterjust one win in 11 matches. Pardew leaves the club just one place above the relegation zone. He led palace to the Fa Cup Final In May but aside from that run, their form in the league is the worst of all 92 Premier League and English Football League clubs.
