Let say they take the weekend off. Let say they take a holiday.😂😂😂
lmaoooo
Let say they deserve a full paid holiday for the year
They don’t even get a break they don’t have a place to break lmao
😂😂
Lets say they get holiday
£5,000 in a day and still on the streets? Some people don't even have that in their savings and they still aren't homeless. More than enough to pick your life up, renting a home and finding a job.
Unseen User ikr so true and sad because that’s reality 😐
Unseen User With all due respect your naive if you think that it's purely financial... There's the element of mental mindset, health and education which can negate any amount of cash
Kai Plotnikoff I know but £5,000 is a lot of money. Quite often I see homeless people still sleeping in the afternoon when walking around town. I know there are many factors and I have a lot of empathy but you would think that you would do the best for yourself in these situations and try and pick up your life the best you can...
Some have bigger problems than being homeless like being junkies
Unseen User it's not at all mate
This is why I offer to buy them food.
They return the food lol
Shafique Iqbal better to just give them 50 cents
Shafique Iqbal Once i spoke with a homeless Guy for a time and he Saïd he appreciates iT When people do that but in the mean time Many people do it and they also need the money for other things...
Yeah it’s better to give them food, because if you gave them money you don’t know what they could buy with it. Drugs ext..
l always buy the dog whos with them food but give them tea or coffee
I would rather make 20 pound a day than earn 100 a day begging losing my pride.
Me too these people r fit to work
Nigga takes about pride like it's a good thing lmao lost human civilisation
AlienAmusementTheory Have enough pride to not beg... Everything has a limit.
Alla dat pride
Church!
A five grand drop and he could not pull his life around ffs
Wayne Keenan loool
He smoked it
I would have saved in in high interest savings account. Then do the begging for a full year. Start a taxi cab business and do begging on the side until the taxi cab business is reliable. Get a small apartment. Buy a small laptop, go to school online for a trade school. Geta job as trades man ( plumberelectrician, etc,) invest in partime taxi cab drivers and grow my buisness while having a 9 to 5. Then create a free mentor program to help the homeless get off of the streets for good. 😁
Probably addiction. A lot of people are on the streets because of drugs, the ones who can’t pick themselves up are usually addicts using all of their money on drugs
Wow, realistic daily earnings are higher than minimum wage. That is fucked up.
I might become a full time homeless person
Or you could get a good job and have a nice house...
Generalising like that is terrible.. There are actual homeless people on the streets, some of which are Elderly and are at risk of death through winter..
Or get a fucking education and get a job ffs
BAKERRR c its a joke
XxMASTER GURUxX yea man i was thinking 🤔 the same 🤣🤣🤣
I watched this video a few weeks ago and last week I tried this at kings cross train station on a Friday someone I spoke to said sitting by the top of the stairs to the underground so I sat there from 6am till about 1pm and I was bought lunch given a pouch of tobacco and made roughly £ 65 two ppl gave me £10 I donated the money to the salvation army afterwards but I genuinely couldn't believe the generosity of ppl today
wow fair play but if l was in london id much rather party
Unfortunately this "generosity" is naiviety more often than not.
Course you did sunshine
Ya, we believe you took it to the salvation army and not used it yourself. Plz dawg. You know how I know? Had you really given to salvation army you would've recorded to try get internet famous
TheFlamingmoe86 bro no hate but you gotta use periods and commas.
4:00 was given £5000 and he smoked it all. That’s enough to get a place to stay and look for a job and turn your life around. People like him don’t want to change so don’t help them!
People won't rent a room to a jobless person, I guess.
@@HA-hi9fk If that were true wouldn`t all unemployed people be homeless
Its not that people dont want to change its that addiction (like he said he smoked it all) makes it sooooo difficult to change. Unless youve been an addict or been very close/involved with an addict i.e..family memeber partner friend eyc ita hard to truly empathise/sympathize
Rents are incredibly expensive in the United Kingdom
I would have saved it, and did this begging for a year and get like 50,000 pounds. Buy a cheap small taxi cab. And have like 15 grand left. Get a cheap laptop and a cheap apartment so I can do online classes for trade school (plumbers, electricians, welders, etc.) Get a trade job, use the money from my new job to pay for more taxi cabs and hire drivers to drive and I get 35% of the cut from the day. Now I have a decent job that usually pays 75k once you get experienced, I run a small buisness that makes me incoming cash raising my yearly profit to about 90k to 100k per year. 😁
Beggars of London are earning more than 99.99 % of the so called RUclipsrs. Sad but true.
🤔🤔🤔🤔
1
Anyone who makes anything earns more than 99% of youtubers so whats your point lol
J0nesJr next time you feel like saying anything from your shitty mouth talk to your dad instead, he must know what a jerk he has brought up who abuses on social media for no reason.
J0nesJr get a job you piece of shit instead of trolling and bullying people. I pity on your upbringing.
After watching this video I think it’s time for a career change
Hassan Mughal lmao
Lmao
Same here bro
Why did my career advisor neglect informing me about this financial loophole? ... Don't want to work for money or pay taxes on your pittance? No problem, just sit in one spot on your arse all day and sponge off others idiots who do.
Reactions it’s a joke idiot
The reason some of these people are on the streets in the first place is their drug and alcohol habits cost them £100s a day. The money they get from begging doesn't even touch the sides of a veracious habit. MAny have to sell their bodies and steal things too to afford their habits.
Your videos inspire me really. I've been homeless and had to do all the things you do to survive in Leicester for many years. You'll win your 7 day challenge! The other guy is a hustler. You're real. Keep it up!
You 100% kept that money.
Jason 😂😂😂😂😂
He sat there all day why not lol
Liv M M agreed lol
Liv M M cuz the people gave that money in the hopes it would help those IN NEED. Keeping it would be disrespectful.
ganabana prat Everyone "needs" something so why not keep it!?
I work in Central London and I see this kind of thing happening all the time. In fact beggars are seen as the lowest people in society, even by other homeless people! The public have become smart to beggars and often people give them food instead of money.
Good, that is how things should be in every major city in the world
San Francisco and Portland cater to homeless too well and those cities are too messed up to visit anymore I don’t want any European city to end up like that
Someone gave you £5k and you smoked it all?! 😡😡😡😡
I, a highschool student in the United States have been working part time ON TOP of my college prep highschool school for about 4 months (in the beginning I pulled off 80-90hr weeks with school, homework, and work) and I only have $1,200 in my bank account (i spent some of it.) I'm trying to save up for a car so I can get a better job (public transportation in my third world country is nonexistent.) This blows my mind! The generosity and civility of the British people is very good, but this is crazy!!!
LoL 😆
I’ve been nearly mugged by homeless people and guilt tripped outside my university as a broke student and just learnt that begging is actually illegal from this vid... damn whole new perspective...
Which city do you live in?
Mom:What you wanna be when you grow up?
me:A london begger
Man said jollof rice😂 love your videos.. Now let me watch this account grow👌🏼
It grew.
BOBO Bamaboy oh yessss I feel like a proud Aunty! I was here when he had 100 subscribers😅
U can’t just go around asking, ARE U A SEACRET MILLIONAIRE “
lol it’s a joke bro
You forgot that in the UK a lot of days it's raining and extremely cold... who wants to sit outside all day in weather like that? Also lack of safety. Mental health issues and other hazards of being homeless. It's not just about money.
true786 they are lazy better sit down then working in the field
The only normal comment down here, thank you. Can you people imagine how many beggars just disappear like nothing from the streets of a city like London??
When you are homeless you have to try stay dry. It's not like you can go home to a bath and change of clothes at the end of the day.
• If/When it rains they take shelter in nearby alcoves around their gullible affluent hotspots, in a shop entrance or next to a cash-point. . [DEBUNKED!]
• _"When you are homeless you have to try stay dry. It's not like you can go home to a bath and change of clothes at the end of the day."_ ... There a literally dozens of homeless shelters, charities and emergency accommodation charities throughout every city in the nation to provide exactly this. [DEBUNKED!]
• _"Can you people imagine how many beggars just disappear like nothing from the streets of a city like London?"_ ... Clearly nowhere near enough (if any), since they exponentially increase in volume over time, not decrease. [DEBUNKED!]
@@reactions5783 You sir are a word of reason
Did u wash ur hands after counting that change...and eating at the same time 😫
Adnan that’s not even racist bro
That's what I was thinking
yes he did 03:59
zabaR yeah he licked them clean
Mayjinx Why So Sensitive Much?
Good video, but it's hard to hear due to the background traffic noise, add subtitles!
D C yes totally agree, vid needed subtitles in parts!
It's exactly that kind of thing that puts people off helping the genuine cases!
A dollar is £1.23 yeah? Smart guy
Lol mix up
nah ur dumb he mixed up with pound and dollar it was suppose to be $1.23
A1 connect you £ has always been stronger than the $ in recent memory
Hahahahahaha fucking legend
Is Az lol wat? Take 100k to America and you'll have 200k
Noob
The girl and the 5k don are locals, I stopped giving them money when I saw them high of their faces. Eff that.
why give them money at all there scamers
alex monte because regardless if they use drugs, they’re genuinely sleeping rough, for years and years some of them. How many winters could you take before your bones started to hurt ?
@@Siegmeyer_ they're choosing that tho
@@nabhanq Of course in a lot of cases what landed them on the streets initially was their own doing. Although there are cases where that isn’t what happened and it was bad luck. I suffer from chronic depression, psychosis and PTSD. I’ve been street homeless for 13 months and had a very serious drug addiction so I feel
I can empathise on a more personal level. The way the world is today, The huge gap in the wealth class (that’s only getting worse because of COVID, small businesses shutting down left, right and centre) how superficial everything is, focus on beauty and social media creating false images of people’s lives. The easily available drugs in poorer areas.... it’s understandable how some people can get into a hole they can’t see themselves ever getting out of and I know personal mental strength plays a big part in this. There is a lot of things in society today that is desensitising us and we are losing empathy for fellow humans... maybe I’m just rambling, but if I’m being honest, I’m still stuck in that dark hole... I spend more time wishing I could be someone else (there’s reasons for this) I’m very scared for the future. I’m very sorry if this is just rambling, I’ve had a drink and I can’t hold it in
@@Siegmeyer_ fuck bro you wanna talk do you have insta?
There’s a few “homeless” in my town centre. One in particular as got a 5 bedroom house paid for by the government, him and his girlfriend get £30K a year in benefits. He drives around in s brand new BMW and his girlfriend drives around in a brand new Mercedes. Paid for by the government. It’s a joke. And people who actually need benefits can’t get any help whatsoever.
You sound a bit jealous take it easy your time will comec
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 For shinning the light on the begging.
"lets say they take the weekend off" lolllll
London was one of the cities where I saw most beggars ever, and most of them were white and british look like, a lot majority of them were young, I couldn't help thinking what is this all about, is it because of renting prices, unemployment, drugs, what is it? But this guy exposes something very disturbing...what if some people actually live on other's pitty making more money than working? Is this fair? I guess not. Sometimes I feel bad with myself for not helping beggars but honestly sometimes I really don't know in what they will use the money on, or if they can take advantage of me to open the wallet to rob me, or if they are scammers. Anyways in England a lot of people came to me and ask me money, but I know some dirty tricks they do like asking money for their metro ticket just to let you open the wallet and rob you so I never gave anything to anyone under this circumstances, but also an old man that looked well dresses had the nerve to ask me for 20 pounds to have a hot meal...who the hell he thinks I was? his sugar mama? We need to help people YES, but a LOT of people prey on our kindness and honestly I don't think that is fair, like I think it is not fair to bash people who don't tip or don't tip much just for the sake of it, I mean which job is entitled to get money out of your wage? why should you get more than you earn, why is your job entitled to tips and not the cooker, the cashier at a clothe's store, etc etc etc...I always had comercial jobs as a cashier at the supermarket and of course we do not get tips, and I would not even want them, the simple fact this people EXPECT you to tip for bringing your food out of the kitchen for me is outrageous, and so I do not tip...EVER! Need a raise? talk to your boss. Same here, we need to be KIND but WISE or people, as usual will take advantage of us and make that a life style!
Juana Manjua that’s very reflective. Don’t usually see RUclips comments as long and thoughtful as this
You don't have to tip anyone but I've been both a cashier and a waitress/barmaid and I can tell you being a cashier is a breeze in comparison so have a think about that
There is this guy that me and my colleagues know who begs next to my work place. He gets people to buy stuff and goes to off licence, pubs, bars and small businesses and sells them. Sometimes he asks for receipt from the people who buys him stuff so that he can take them to a different branch and get a refund. Apparently he had a house, family etc but he comes to that area to beg. There is also this other person who is always watching over him to make sure he is okay and no one is hurting him (begging partners). To be honest in the UK we have the best system where the state helps to find a job whilst supporting you financially and the council pays for your housing until you find a job. Even if you find a job with low income they still support you, so l don't understand why people beg and people give them money. A lot of drug addicts they refuse help such as rehab etc. Some people don't know where to get help from but there is always citizen advice bereu to help you. So really no excuse in 21st century in the UK to beg or be homeless. God is great!!
It's very hard to be actually homeless in london. Nearly every borough has a council where they will provide housing or shelter (as long as you are british citizen, not sure about others). If you get kicked out of your house you can go to your council borough and they will put you in a shelter place with a roof over your head and warm place and then put you in proper housing (2nd one takes time). Granted they don't always have a shelter space but often times they do, alot of the homeless people you see on the streets don't know this.
The majority of homeless people in LONDON do not have British citizenship.
Who the fuck gives a dollar to a homeless guy in the UK
iJamie8467x a yank?
american tourist
they give what they have, simple.
An American, duh
Fair play to those guys begging for being so honest, Guaranteed whatever is made in one day ,99%of the time will be spent the same day to stave off pains of addiction and craving.. no easy life..
I'm thoroughly impressed with this production...Its well put together. GREAT JOB WELL DONE. You succeeded in shading a light on a subject lots of people are ignorant about.
This guy counted the coins with his hand and he didn’t even wash his hand when eating 🤮🤮
K1 1 I know it’s unsanitary but give him a break
Wow! Thinking about it I could do a couple years on the streets and live smart for a couple of years and end up with over 60k by the end of it meaning I could get my own place, own my own car and even have enough left over to invest in my future. I could also get a head start in the game by selling all my belongings before I hit the streets. Fuck me I can't believe what I'm saying..
Nice to find a channel like this after everyone else has gone off on click bait vids yours are simply enjoyable
Bruh this guy is doing it full time now, saw him in HOLBORN hahahahh ..he is ADDICTED NOW, Last i heard his girlfriend was begging next to him 🤣
Alu Chips lies rude boi
Oscar Blanco
Obviously fucking not
i know what guy your talking about in holborn lol its not him tho
Jagen H'ghar 😂😂😂
There's soooo many of them in holborn it must be a hot-spot, the lady by cafe Nero is starting to get aggressive now lol
I love how passionate you're
When I was in London as a tourist I asked a beggar for directions he then told myself where I wanted to be
To me they come in handy
I then give him £3
I was happy because I knew through him where I was going
so they do come in handy
when I asked a normal Member of public walking up the street they just looked at me as though you have got leprosy when I approached him
even the local road sweeper wouldn't speak to me
And I had children in tow as well
I am from the North East when you approach people for directions in Teesside they tell you
they don't just ignore you
Few people in London know directions tbf. At least half of them aren't local, and the locals take Tube everywhere so don't know where things actually are.
I love your videos very unique and educational I would have never known
Just found your channel and love it 😊
I thought a pound has a higher value than a dollar?
keith acosta it does
Fuck the monetary system, that's a lot of cash n China
keith acosta it does
it is but now after stupid brexsit the pound is falling
Yh it is
didn't see you hand the money back ' Smart guy :)
Seen some of this guy's videos unsure what message he's trying to get across exactly but still worth a watch
please make more videos(if you can and if you want) cause I like your channel and you!
the outfit was amazing bro
great video 👏
Some people might beg temporarily to avoid eviction. But those who are known to beg long term whilst having a room to rent and receiving benefits should be arrested for fraud and jailed. Their behavior is not victimless. They cause the public to distrust the genuine homeless and withdraw support for them and in winter this lack of support can lead to people freezing to death in winter.
Love your vids keep up the great content you’re an amazing youtuber
This guy deserves 2 million subscribers
ever imagine if you were homeless and you start constructing a plan in your head, my first number 1 thing to do is to A print of a CV at the library B get enough money for work clothes, food and a gym shower freebie, then a can of anti persperint deoderant. id also get a small tent and sleep on a roof instead of a street. try get that job and slowly grind till i can get a small like hotel room or somthing idk
“Are you mad” 😂😂
I would watch each of his videos about 5 times..ensuring that i have wrinsed every wisker of joy from them before watching ...another
So what did you wanted to say to a world?
Beggars make more than you? That you are gonna be a beggar?
Or whats the point of this bullshit?
Ezekeil The Prophe7 lol.. you'rea fucking savage dude
You deserve millions of subscribers because your words are inspiring
thats dumb when you start asking homeless an "ARE YOU SECRET MILLIONARE?" LOL
Lawd I was watching asmr turned the full way up with headphones and I clicked this and my ears were blown off😂

Sick means vomit and fam means family
Creative Aviator sick means cool and fam is now slang for buddy/group of buddies
the last part had me dying
Let’s say they take ah holiday 😭😂
That's more than a software engineer earns here in a high-class IT company
LyonBeast - not true
Come on man, I’m not opposed to finding a bargain or getting free food but you’re taking money from people who may genuinely need it and you are contributing to a culture where we doubt the homeless and poverish. This creates a viscous cycle where you are not in fact shedding light on a potentially corrupt collusion but you are showing how people could beg in order to steal from kind hearted citizens to such a vast audience. The integrity of genuinely down and out people with nothing left is being scrutinised by people doing such things as this.
Don’t feed the birds
@@FunGuyFruits xd
at the end of the video he said hes gonna give the other money away
Most people who end up on the streets begging are usually there through a combination of trauma and addiction...any money they are given is all but a means to alleviate their suffering.
“Jollof of rice” lol
You look like Yannick Bolasie
JackCPFC nah more like wilfred zaha
Wan bissaka
Just crowd funding
Your channel is growing !!! Yay
you are awesome bro!!
Beats job sealers allowance anyday. There is no need to beg as the UK welfare system provides shelter and basics. Listening to the earnings some of these guys are earning, why would you want to be a part of the system.
There are genuine families living below the breadline who deserve more.
I feel sorry for the genuinely people who are down on their luck, those people probably won't do this. Best to keep your heard earned money in the warmth of your iwn pocket - as some of these are no doubt scammers!
I hope he donated that money to charity, makes a total mockery of the real genuine homeless ppl out there
My guy said let’s say 5 days incase homeless people get the day off 😂😂😂 MAUD 😂💀
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fair play for giving the money away bro
Kings Cross station?
Funny video! 😂😂😂 you put a lot of effort In it. However, I don't think it's a great idea even though ur making that much a day or a month. You need to think about your reputation before proceeding with that idea.
Tahmedur Rahman - The career beggars that do this don't do it in their home town, they drive to London in their nice mercedes and then drive home after, to their mansion in the countryside... What reputation? XD
Tahmedur Rahman hahaha Yeah so funny homeless people. hilarious
He has a problem! I think his obsessed with this life now. Making a video as an excuse to be out on the street
I saw a beggar asking people to buy him a coffee in New Street station, a woman returned to him a few minutes later with a coffee. Once her back was turned he put the coffee on the floor and walked off. Wasting both her time and money... he just wanted the cash. Just one big scam.
This video is exactly why I’m reluctant to give money to beggars; you can’t tell whether it’s real or fake
jollof rice
I wasn't a fan of this series just because it feels like too much taking the mickey but I've enjoyed other episodes. As I enjoyed the one where you at least empathised with what it's like to be homeless. ❤️ 🦋 Hope this doesn't offend you or anyone I just know Alot of people who are homeless and they get money from begging but they are unable to get homes or have addictions and addictions is a mentality that fulfilla empty emotional parts inside of us. We all fall down sometimes. At the end of the day they buy drugs and alcohol but then so do people who aren't homeless. I know mums who could get two jobs and still can't afford to feed their kids or even see their kids. It's a cruel life at the minute.
Holy shit, do you guys remember the time when 1 us dollar was 1.36 pounds?
Wow, time flies fast
When the homeless take 2, days off and your working 7 days ._. Bless you :')
go to work!
I will quiet my job
I'm going grow a scruffy beard buy oxfam rejects and start jungling (begging)
madi chell you what?
You mean quit
madi chell Do you even one? With that spelling I doubt you even have a job.
Nice videos. Really like them!
Hi brother you making my day since last night enjoy your videos very much if i visit the U.K. will pay you a visit .
nice vid but $1 = 81 pence
Lol 1.30 dollars is a pound dumb fuck
Flamboyant $1 is £1.45p
kings of kings I'd happily give you $1 if you give me £1.45 for it. Flamboyant was correct at the time of writing. Today $1 = £0.71
it was a 2 dollar bill?
Hartley Hare, It must hurt to be that dumb, family must be proud of you.
A rich buddy dare me go beg at a Asian mall, I am Asian, for three days for 20k cash ,but I didn't accept but lots of people might I guess.
Xiangyu168 Yu 20k is 20k
Chatting shit bro
Xiangyu168 Yu 20k what yen , dollars, pounds or what?
Xiangyu168 Yu if its 20k€ or anything closely the same value i would sit for a month at an asian mall for 20k
the disrespect to the dollar bill lmaoooo
That's like 42,000+ dollars?!!! And here in our country it's 2 FREAKING MILLION... Imagine getting 2 million a month
Grear Presentation.. I enjoyed it.. Thanks
3:03 that woman is a fake begged I cause she's my neighbour
leopard gecko Thanks for telling me that!
Crazy she's also my neighbour... that must mean we are neighbours ??
Sure
She's my neighbour too :o
I live right in front of her
I met a guy who refused a job and clean clothes because he would not look destitute!
My guy said Turkey and jollof 😂😂🇳🇬🇳🇬 boy
This seems really insensitive
Throw in £75 job seekers allowance on top of that plus food banks etc
gavloft I think you need a permanent address to claim jobseekers, which is why most homeless people don't. They are stuck in a cycle of living off what they earn which isn't enough for housing etc. Even though these people in London may be earning decent amounts, living in London is pricy.
renting is he done a vid eating for a week on £1 a day in london
Hostels and care homes for people with mental health issues are also a permanent address. I work in one of these and we have guys who go out and beg and we cannot stop them because the nature of the centre is " supported living " and most of them have the capacity so can decide about themselves.
scott gooch he's a part time homeless man. Most of the real homeless guys are on crack or some substance abuse to get through the day. Smoking crack or weed when it's that cold. Remember this guy is smart in his appearance. He could bounce from being homeless to going to the queens birthday and still look good and be accepted. A crackhead you won't let sleep in your house as you would worry if your t.v. would be there.
Job centre money must've gone up by £25 cause the last time I went to a job centre it was £50 a week
''i went to McDonald's r u mad?''😂😂😂😂
one dollar from every person on the planet can already help feed half a continent
Did you really give that money away? 😂
Sandy Chux dont think so 😂😂
he did
i d
It’s because of shameless ppl like him that ppl loose their faith in real poor ppl who really need the money
shut the fuck up
Its true
Joey Prince dont be rude and saying bad words isnt cool
“Lets say they take the weekend off”🤔
“Let’s say they take a holiday” 🤔
And that is tax free !
Very good research. I hope someone does an indepth research on this.
