Southern trains rarely ****ing move on match days at the moment. Can I therefore start smacking Southen staff?

Please.
Day 1 call the police. They don't turn up
Day 2 call the police. They don't turn up.
Get in the real world! This is Brighton where shoplifting is legal. A homeless person on the street has no chance of a response.
The answer is to treat them as a human being. I wonder how quickly you would be on the street if your shop went bust ? I despise how people treat the homeless - when I'm out if I have a few spare minutes I buy them some food and drink and have a chat. You'll be amazed how many of them ended up on the street but you won't know if you just throw water over them. The answer IS NOT to treat them like scum. If genuinely you've done this then I hope your business goes bust - care to name your shop so I can avoid it ?
So call the council homeless department instead. A lack of resources for the police and council is no reason to assault someone.

It's not your right to take it into your own hands.

That is a properly c**ty thing to do. It's not like he can go home and dry himself off with a warm towel
[MENTION=1365]Westdene Seagull[/MENTION] is spot on
Shoplifting is legal? I think you need to get in the real world and stop letting your biases and prejudices cloud your mind.
He/she won’t. They’re a coward.
I think if I owned a shop - my view of the police's reaction time would be similar (probably).
I’d like to think if it was my own business I’d first have a chat with a view to trying to help but if after several days and this approach wasn’t working then yes I’d sort it out myself.
Yes we need to look after the vulnerable but they also have to fair to others around them.

Another consequence of Tory Britain , got to pay for the tax cuts for the rich somehow
With respect, it sounds like [MENTION=21200]I remember the good times[/MENTION] is very much living in the real world. I certainly wouldn't want to have to have the problem he has described.
But a railway station isn't a public place in the same way that a street is. He is not a rail user, so has no business there, and if he has refused to move on when asked to do so he can have no complaint. And the staff have a duty to keep the station clear, and they have duties clean it too. In the unlikely event of being sacked, they would have a cast iron case for unfair dismissal.
Well, if he takes your advice, it will solve one thing at least - you will the be able to find out which shop is his. It'll be the one with the doorway that reeks of shit, piss and vomit, and then you won't be the only person who won't use it.
Asking them to move on and clearing up after them is not abusing the homeless. Those yobs who like to piss on them while they sleep, or beat them up for fun, are despicable. But people are entitled to ask them to move. I wonder how long you would be happy if people started using your doorway as a toilet?
Bring them a cup of tea, maybe a bacon roll or something. Treat them with kindness and respect so that they don't see you as some nameless representation of the rich who think they are better than them because life hasn't kicked you in the balls yet, and then perhaps they'd treat your shopfront with respect and not use it as toilet, thus not needing to have it washed down every few days or a week later (though really, if you're only needing to was it once a week, that seems pretty standard).

I doubt it....and according to most reports this seems to be the pavement outside the station anyway.....
Edit - both have been suspended (normal during an investigation, obviously)

That could still be (and probably is) railway property.
