UK - London - Homeless man shouts at commuters

As suited commuters begin their homeward journeys across London Bridge, towards the station that will transport them home to families and security, a homeless man without the warmth of relatives nor a roof over his head, rants and shouts at the respectable people with jobs and incomes. He has been drinking alcohol and sits leaning against the bridge's wall, pointing and threatening but all walk on past, afraid and embarrassed. We see the social divisions of English society, of prospects and wealth versus hopelessness and poverty as those who are marginalised and perhaps suffering from mental health problems are ignored by the successful capitalist.
