We have so many charities on this island – is there one of them who could give this bloke a helping hand with manpower not money? Wonder what the workshy scroungers have to make of this – He’s not sitting on his b** waiting for a state handout. All ‘able bodied’ lazy people living off the states should feel ashamed of themselves. This poor guy can not even get a job. Ironically most working people would be happy to support him even if it is only in admiration of his tenacity.
