I see nothing wrong with giving them the chance to see a new place. Just because they are homeless does not mean they should elbe forgotten or that they are worthless. If we can do simple things to improve other peoples lives, our world will improve.
As you said, for Dagger its peanuts, so why not. As for the event itself, i think its great, gets them off the streets for a short while, gives them a chance to socialize in a healthy environment and gives them a warm bed to sleep in for a while. Its definitely better than nothing v and will be a memory they cherish.
Whats wrong with that?
Absolutely nothing, apart from the fact that the vast majority of us WITH a home and employment would NEVER get the chance or even be able to afford to compete in such an event.
All seems a bit unbalanced and out of proportion to me tbh.
My only memory to cherish today will be just how much of my grafting will be going towards the topping up of the G&T cabinet for the privileged few down in Westminster.
