In Newcastle-upon-Tyne homeless beg for money, so people buy them food which is instantly thrown away once you turn the corner.

They get plenty of food. They have access to food banks, soup kitchens, etc. It's one of the few things charities can sustainably do on a day-to-day basis.

It's literally everything else that they don't have.

They actually beg for money saying they're hungry, or the stupid story of "i've missed my bus so i need 70p"

Yes, because you won't give them money for anything else.
