A French homeless man has become a social media sensation, chalking up nearly 20,000 followers on Twitter with his account of life on the mean streets of Paris. Christian Page who used to be the head waiter in a ritzy restaurant in a posh Paris district of the French capital now sends tweets from an old smartphone with a cracked screen, slamming politicians' empty promises and appealing for help for those without a roof over their heads.
