While I would have liked that, it wouldn't have been realistic at all, and therefore would have undermined the issue it was trying to represent.With her help Link discovered that Shelter is responsible for Ginger's dead plus 7 other homeless people.

Well according to my stereotype i did never finish it but it wasnt actually that boring, although in some parts iI'm not gonna lie were boring.

In a 2010 by-election and in the 2011 local elections, Swindells stood as the Green Party of England and Wales candidate for the Worth Valley ward of Bradford City Council. He persuades people on the street (homeless) to come to his house for free food and a warm bed and when they come he kills them. Most of us can’t relate to the characters as we are not homeless but they did a very good job of portraying the way that homeless people are thought of in society and how they are treated. He feels depressed because there is nobody to protect him in case of danger, and because nobody cares about homeless people.
