    So not only are these people at the bottom but some other scum is taking advantage of them and your response is to kick them again

    Agreed, kicking the real victims in this setup is not the answer though.

    Edit: except for some of the East Europeans. They're here legally just to beg. And I feel no compassion for them either. Beggars are like rats: feed them and their population grows exponentially.
    So a medieval public humiliation is the answer instead?

      Yes. Make it so unattractive nobody will do it.

      Yes, some publicity internationally that as a nation we have gone back to our strong stance on the matter would be a good idea.

      If you tolerate begging, it gets worse and crime comes with it. Encouraging it is very unwise indeed.

        That wasn't the image I conjured whilst reading your 'saucy' story.
        Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

          So the tart does a soapy little heart on the windscreen while her mate sticks up her middle finger....


          I've seen that video, it's a classic.

              I also can't see the point of what they do and why they expect payment. My car comes equipped with wipers and a mechanism for spraying clean water and soap onto the windscreen. I don't need some toothless hag rubbing her dirty sponge over the window for a quid.

              Out here in Geneva they have some who beg at the side of the road near where I work. They literally wander up and down the traffic queue and tap on the drivers window looking for cash. They don't even bother with the whole window washing routine.

              I preferred version 1!

                If the gangs know their victims will be immediately picked up and thoroughly interviewed as to where they came from, what they are up to, why, and who for then they will pack it in.

                    And if you give them money you make it profitable for those forcing them into it.
