Topic 3
In his book Down and Out in Paris and London George Orwell compared
the laissez-faire attitude towards homeless people in Paris with the rigid
attitude in London:
‘In Paris, if you had no money and could not find a
public bench, you would sit on the pavement. Heaven knows what sitting
on the pavement would lead to in London – prison probably.’It has been
observed that in the 1990s the contrast is now the other way around. It is
now in Paris, not London, that homeless people, if they want to avoid be-
ing taken away by the police, need to make sure that they don’t bring at-
tention to themselves. Can you think why this change has occurred? How
does the present British attitude to homelessness compare with that in
your country?
