The only beggar we had in our town was followed via the train station where he got changed into his clean clothes and caught the train to his home town and then drove off in a Range Rover ...he soon realised his plan had been rumbled and never came back
I live in Glasgow and most of the beggers I see are Romanian. I know for a fact that they live in council houses and get EVERYTHING bought for them eg dishwashers and the houses are entirely furnished, decorated etc. I know someone who lives beside them and they resent it because they are not given any help. This is soneone who served in the British Army. I do not give them a penny of my hard earned cash. I always give money or buy sandwiches and drink, to GENUINE homeless. The majority are in the first category.
There used to be a woman who would approach me after dark, asking for £2.75 for petrol, with a long story about a broken-down car. One day, I said to her, "Do you know how many times you've given me the same story?" She promptly vanished into the shadows!
This is not a new thing. Used to happen where I worked over 20 years ago. 4-5 persons would be dropped off in big Mercs and Beamers v early in the morning and then collected about 3-4 in the afternoon in the same vehicles. I never have them a penny as they clearly didn’t need it!
Also it featured in a Sherlock Holmes story so it was going on in Conan Doyles time too. Maybe not as a gang but someone who found he could earn more begging that in the job he had just lost.
What I like about the Romanian beggars is when they set up their pitch. They do it in full sight of the public without any embarrassment at all. I like to try and follow them at the end of the shift but I usually end up losing them. They also hate being photographed because their mug shots are usually with the cops.
it should be illegal to give money to beggers. illegal to live on the streets They should be arrested and taken to police station and assistance given as required.
I live in a small town and it even happens here. They know people will asume their homeless and hand cash over...after a few hours they go back to their home!
There was a kid in Swansea that once did this. It soon got out, with pictures on Facebook to make everyone aware that his parents would drop him off in their Bentley and he had an iPhone and other pictures and videos of people confronting him when he was all suited up drinking champagne in an expensive restaurant. Anyway he soon learnt his lesson and never did it again. When he was kicked in, Mugged. His money given to the poor and his iPhone stolen.
It must be said that these professional beggars are mostly foreign and are part of organised crime gangs, they have accomodation and are picked up at night, and dropped off again the following day, - these gangs are taking desperately needed funds from those who are genuinely homeless and do not receive any benefits whatsoever, worsening an already very bad situation. Let's not tar all homeless with the same brush, not all are alcoholics or drug users, not all belong to gangs, and most of our own homeless will be lucky if they see £2 a day. Remember, that when you give, you are helping to keep someone alive.
Watched a group of five women arrive at Norwich Station yesterday, all fit and healthy before relocating to different areas of the city to adopt a illness and a spot to beg and con people for the day, sickening
Say the fake beggar is in situ, all dishevelled,for 10 hours. 8am to 6 pm. They need to take 90p every minute for the whole day to make £500. Add in the one hour commute each way. This does not stack up.
About 6 months ago, outside Tesco in Enfield Town, I saw a pimp pull up in a flash car to talk to one of his "beggars". These pimps need to be dealt with, and I don't mean by the police, or through the courts.
Just got back from London, old women sat on Regent Street, and i said to the mrs its a scam, and its nationwide. Don't ever give money to a homeless person, their problem is bigger than what you can deal with, ignore and walk on!!
Its time to get them off the streets and into Housing, if our so called government can give money and luxurious hotel accommodation they can get all homeless off the streets in no time at all, get the territorial army to take over the job.
The so called beggars I see live in houses that have dishwashers and are decorated and furnished throughout. They don't get a penny of my hard earned cash!!
The UK's roughly the size of the Australian state of Victoria. This poor little rock in the sea expected to accept every human who pushes their way in. They don't come to love and contribute and learn and assimilate; they've heard that every system is ripe to pillage, every loophole open to them to manipulate. They're here to take as much and whatever they can in order to get a good deal for themselves in life, it's not remotely difficult to comprehend. I get it. The problem is cultural and personal values. I need to see some affection, some love, some sense of personal duty and a real enthusiasm to learn about customs, traditions and culture...to feel pride in contributing and loving the UK. This entire culture is broken. All unstable and disordered so in a way, to be even-handed, no wonder these incomers barging their entitled Selves through probably shrug and wonder 'what EXACTLY is there to be subsumed into culturally?!' You need a strong culture and infrastructure that makes it clear what we're all about and that we do not bend to imposition of will, to slippery demanding adults trying to 'work' the system or arrogantly demand changes made to accommodate their demands and whims. We do of course. Which is entirely the problem.
To my knowledge there are plenty of services, help and charities for those who live on the streets. I never ever give money to beggars but I contribute monthly through my pay to organisations, some of which, look after these people. It assuages my guilt at not giving directly to a beggar. As this report reveals - how do you know they really are a beggar?
I offer food to beggars who are British. I ask if they are hungry. One English woman said she was so i gave her a sandwich baguette in my bag. She never asked for money. I have asked some if they want food and they didn’t. I do not even respond to anyone who is not British who is begging as they are more likely to be fake. If they walk up to me for money, i say no.
25 years ago women with babies in arms used to climb the steps of my lorry cab to beg for money at the traffic lights. If you got to a set with no women beggers it's some bloke with a bucket and sponge cleaning the windows, so 25 years later nothing has changed.
I remember how the Romanians killed off The Big Issue. Nearly everyone bought it until it was permitted to be used as a scam to claim self-employed benefits by them. People felt taken for mugs, got angry and didn't buy. Went from selling around 165'000 copies to now around 50'000.
The City Council of every Town and City should give the Real homeless badges with their ID So the Real homeless get help not fakes who should be fined Sadly No MPs or City Councils Care
Most beggars are scammers, this isn’t new. Even the ones that ask for 50 pence for a drink, then go and spend it all on smack. They’re scamming you too. The only way I’d give money to a beggar was if he was sat on the ground with his legs splayed holding a sign saying ‘kick me in the bollocks for a quid’. I’d have ten quids worth.
They use that food on their genitals to force dogs to carry out pervese acts. Your wife is naive. I was offered a spaniel for £20 for 30 minutes no questions asked...
You need to get it on film, otherwise they will keep doing it, unless you show the people of Bath that they are criminals what is the point of Just reporting, if you cannot show any proof.
This is happening in every city in the UK and the worst part is they have pushed out genuine homeless people from receiving help from the public. The real homeless have almost vanished, who knows what intimidation they have suffered from these gangs. The authorities need to do something about these people.
I don't give them anything and never will. Every shopping complex have them and then step in a store and you are accosted by a charity collector. We have councils to help homeless and a very good welfare system for them to use.
I offered my unopened t/away to a beggar who asked me for money. He asked me what it was and I told him it was chips. He said he didn't like chips. It was then I knew he was a lying junkie bastard.
Last night I was approached at Tower Hill by a man who said he was homeless and asked for money. I said I didn’t have any cash but offered him an item from the co op shop that I had just done. He rolled his eyes and said that he already had food then walked away before I could say anything else
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.
I haven't watched all of the video yet. I was always told not to give money because a lot of homeless people turn to drugs and drink to help them through the day! Offer to buy them a hot drink or food instead if you want to help!
This is just NOT news..been happening for decades....if people are stupid enough to throw money away in their own cities they DESERVE their streets to be littered with beggars. A genuine beggar will take food drinks and warmth. I've yet to meet a beggar who has taken my offer of food. Even had a beggar asking for £1 for train fair home...I offered him a lift....he declined.
This has been happening in Glasgow for years, organised criminal migrant gangs begging on the streets of Glasgow. Most of them are better dressed than me.
Hello. I've lived in South Africa all my life. I've watched beggars in designer boots begging on street corners. Must be said, by now, most South Africans pass by the average beggar. Sure, some are needy and deserve help. They are far outnumbered by those who randomly beg, preferably with a wanton waif child. It's heartbreaking to drive by, but one has to do it. Rather find one person worth supporting because they are looking for a better future, than perpetuate the 'gimme' agenda of poverty. Oh. I've also been accosted on trains by women who are clearly blind, walking with a stick, followed by her 'pimp'. Yes, life is tough for that lady. She doesn't get the money. Her pimp does.
I dont beg borrow or steal I've been homeless for ten years n I got in that situation cos of my anxiety I even got scared of people n all the beggars leave food n I've been desperate to pick there food n I did not use food places cus them type of people are there
@@varidian694 yeah when I read your comment was shocked when I saw Stroud lmao. The guy outside tesco literally lives in same block as my mum so I know for a fact he's not homeless. Addiction issues etc
Nothing new. When I was working in London 30 years ago, every day a man would drive up close to the building I worked in in a big Jaguar. He'd get out, put a dirty old raincoat on then go and sit on a sheet of cardboard pretending to be disabled for a few hours.
The way to stop beggars is to not give them anything, Simple.
Yup, people do what they're paid to do..
Cant be like that mate, its how you go about helping someone, we all need help in this world unfortunately
@@Booster85 Collect cans, they stay there because it worth it because fools give them money, If nobody gave them anything they would find a job.
@@t28mcd I bet if you told them where the job centre was or where they can go for a days work, they would tell you to f*** off.
SHOULD WE BE GIVING THESE ROMANIAN IMMIGRANTS COUNCIL HOUSES EITHER?
Not just any houses. N Glasgow they get their homes kitted out with all the latest mod cons. Carpets, dishwashers, you name it they get it.
I totally agree with you!
@@susanottewell6398 We don't like to be made fools of.
Don't forget we must bend over and touch are toes for the invasion replacement force.

Who allocate flats to their own trafficked folks from many countries and charge them way above normal subsidised rents as they are trapped as illegal immigrants. Such cases take decades to prosecute . MPs are too busy flipping their second homes and filling expense forms to even notice.
I have a simple rule, I give foreig ners nothing.
Me too.
Same here, I just tell them no sorry. I do give to English though, usually just a pound, and slways have a little chat.
Simple test: unless a beggar is surrounded by their ENTIRE possessions, they're probably fake.
People are so gullible - especially in Bath
No No No don’t give them money
I worked within the homeless community for many years, and all I got was abuse from them, death threats and abuse.
Most of them are homeless for a reason, drugs, alcohol, and they burned bridges with everybody around them
The only beggar we had in our town was followed via the train station where he got changed into his clean clothes and caught the train to his home town and then drove off in a Range Rover ...he soon realised his plan had been rumbled and never came back
what a disgrace considering there is genuine people with nothing out there

I know for a fact that they live in council houses and get EVERYTHING bought for them eg dishwashers and the houses are entirely furnished, decorated etc. I know someone who lives beside them and they resent it because they are not given any help.

I do not give them a penny of my hard earned cash. I always give money or buy sandwiches and drink, to GENUINE homeless.
The majority are in the first category.

More like deported

I was at a Mcdonalds drive through in West London. Two guys were begging in the queue. I heard one say to the other he's made £330 so far today!
You can bet they are on top benefits too
Theyve been doin that for years in london!
They have been doing this for years across Europe. Usually the men drop the women off with babies which seem to be drugged, sleeping all day.
I have never and will never give anything to beggars. 😡
it should be illegal to give money to beggers. illegal to live on the streets
They should be arrested and taken to police station and assistance given as required.
Saw some real homeless people in Bath, and I also saw some fake ones with better clothes, better haircut, and better phone than myself.
volunteering as a homeless hairdresser is very trendy thing to do.
who gives to these people anyway???? if you want to give , give it to a homeless charity
I rarely give beggars money but offer food like that guy said
Tax evasion as well.
We have the same in Glasgow all Romanian. They are dropped off in a mini bus.
I always speak to the real Scottish people and they will be given cash
I saw one recently that had a card reader.
I live in a small town and it even happens here. They know people will asume their homeless and hand cash over...after a few hours they go back to their home!

How do you tell?
The bloke who sits on a mattress in the subway by Tower Hill tube has two rental properties near Dorking.
They are in Kingston too and nothing is done about it.
They are Romania and some are Albanian. They live very expensive life
Give them nothing 😞 does anyone give you money 💰💰
SO DONT GIVE THEM ANYTHING WHAT ARE THEY THINKING I GIVE NOTHING ANYMORE
It’s been happening for years
Watched a group of five women arrive at Norwich Station yesterday, all fit and healthy before relocating to different areas of the city to adopt a illness and a spot to beg and con people for the day, sickening
Flaming cheek, lock them all up!!
This isn't news I'm from Bath and this has been going on for years
They have been bussed into Brighton for years. None of them are homeless. The others have shelter too generally.
Whenever I am asked I say I’ll buy a copy of the big issue instead and then they usually move onto the next person
i give them food only. did that and on a few occasions. when that was only offered about 50 percent lost interest.
One of the worst aspects of Britain at the moment. I am just surprised the local councils turn a blind eye to them.
I give to certain charities and have helped real beggars with food.
These i just walk through
Say the fake beggar is in situ, all dishevelled,for 10 hours.
8am to 6 pm.
They need to take 90p every minute for the whole day to make £500.
Add in the one hour commute each way.
This does not stack up.
My bad.
90p a minute is £54 an hour.
I never ever give beggars money, I ask them if they want food or a coffee. Generally I get told no thanks.
We all know this but government does not care

Correct.
Give them a hotel, internet, and a weekly hand out....dont forget to give them a voice, a passport to our NHS system...thankyou Britain citizens
They already get all that!
Congratulations to them on their effective business model! Just beaten to the post by the people traffickers, keep trying!!
