- Do you give money to beggars? Presenter Reya El-Salahi doesn't know who she can trust and who she can't when it comes to handing over her pound. She's looking at the issue of begging on London streets, as she tries to work out who are the con artists and who are in genuine need. Reya spends time in a shelter to figure out what help is out there for those who have hit on hard times, as well as meeting ex- beggars who have turned their life around. Reya also explores the issue of begging gangs with human trafficking expert Bernie Gravett. Determined to find out how easy is it to make money out of Londoners, Reya hits the streets and has a go at begging herself.
London Live's exclusive new documentary strand getting under the skin of our city.
I learned from a homeless guy in Los Angeles to just give them what they really want to help them make it through.
I took a guy to a nearby sandwich shop & offered to buy him anything he wanted. It was obvious he didn't really want food.
I said, "look man, here's 10 bucks to get yourself drugs or whatever YOU need".
When I see homeless folk I tell 'em, "let's be honest, here's some money for drugs to blot this shit out for a while". Other people can get so preachy & sanctimonious.
Couldn't agree more
Because their lives are not hard enough so they had to make a doc alleging homeless people are scammers. Well done 👌
I want to help every homeless person around the world. ❤️👏🏻 GOD BLESS THEM ALL
Rather tragic . . . learning from experience, we are all, a few paychecks . . . from being homeless !
Yes but being homeless and begging are too very different things.
@@paulh7360 both the same thing i was homeless for 10 years..its do it or die it's just your preference on which one you fancy really.
@@TheMasterblaster32 Not so fast, why couldn't you get any Government crisis payments? Homeless is a state of situation, begging is an activity is it not?
Very true indeed !
So good to see someone in recovery looking and being so great,welldone Jerry mate x
What annoys me is watching multi millionaires on children in need begging us to donate when we are all struggling ourselves and never more than now during these dark times.
I have spent time living rough and the experience will stay with me for the rest of my days. I was lucky very lucky and got a break, never looked back because its always with me. it will change your perspective of life, how you treat others and know a good thing when you see it, and also know when people are talking rubbish. spend a few days roughing it and then come back and comment please. thanks best wishes
I was homeless I got my life back together and I am happy m.met2018@outlook.com
Thank you for this. This is why it is so important to talk to the person, and to pray for discernment, when giving money to beggars. You can easily tell which ones are on drugs from just a brief conversation. Yes, sometimes your money will be used badly, but that is no excuse not to give. Exchanging a few words, asking about their life/family, is usually enough to know which ones are genuine. The genuine ones value a conversation more than a few dollars.
I've lived in London for 30 years. When I arrived, begging and homelessness was at an epic level. The whole of Lincoln's Inn Fields had been colonised and turned into a "bash" village. I was shocked and gave without question. My job as a courier meant that I worked on the street and was never a few steps away from a beggar almost every day. Being begged from was as routine as making deliveries. I had to become selective. If I say that I was begged from each day - sometimes more than once - it would be no exaggeration. After 30 years that would generally enable me to claim that I've been begged from thousands of times. Never once in all those times, has anyone begged me for work. They all wanted to miss that step out and get straight to the reward that I was working between 50-60hours to earn...Over the years, I've learnt quite a lot about the begging business, now I donate to "Crisis". And that's all.
Crisis ceo 150 k ? I will pass on that
I stopped giving change to homeless and beggars, ive learned that they only spend it on drugs and drink, so im basically helping fuel their addictions and thats solving nothing. Now i buy them a sandwich or when they ask i tell them - "i can buy you something to eat" and some of them have said no thanks.
Best aproach. . . . I've been on hoth sides, of the streets. Your giving them food is reinforcing the better side, of donations.
@MIKE J f
To the genuine street beggars food is the least of their problems. Lots of people passing by offer food. Also there are food banks and soup kitchens.
Other things are more needed.
1)shelter 2) access to a shower 3)Money for laundry 4) Cigarettes 5) Clothes 6) toiletries , deodorant 7) Bus fare etc...
All of these things require money
@@johnstack5008 Fair point but how will you know they won't abuse that money
@@controversialzimbabwetv6807 You really don't know . Lot's of people think they can tell an addict from a non-addict, but actually it's very hard.
Addicts are very good at hiding signs of their addiction because they know that nobody will give money to an addict. Non-addicts may be sleep deprived, taking prescription medication or just plain feeling unwell. All of these may lead one to believe that this guy is on drugs.
The beggars I met in London are all so so rude. One actually pushed me off the street. I don't know if I want to help anyone >
That's out of order
I was homeless for 10 years in Brighton I managed to get myself up and get a home and a job but I never beg I am happy with my self I fell fee again marcus Southampton m.met2018@outlook.com sorry u had a bad experience by homeless people we r not all like that just want to better my life and I did it so happy xx
Stay strong babes
I’m homeless but I don’t ask, I just live on my disability. Other homeless ask me for change instead. I hate saying no because I know how hard it is for me with my check
Hope youre doing better now
I stopped giving money to beggars after working in a homeless hostel and saw many of them going in & out with blankets & quilts to beg like a full time job, for drink & drug money. So for me that’s not helping at all. Not to mention gangs of professional beggars on the streets too.
I THINK YOU ASK FOR MONEY TOO !!! ALMOST EVERY DAY ALLOT OF TV CHANNELS ASKING FOR DONATION !!! I FILL MORE HAPPY TO HELP A PERSON FROM THE STREET ,THEN HELP YOU TO BECOME MORE MILLIONAIRE THAN YOU ALREADY R !!!!
And they also come in handy for directions when you are lost I always give them a couple of quid to say thank you especially in London because a lot of Londoners look at you as though you are stupid when you ask them for directions
A great video. Thank you kindly.
The only reason I would give my money to any beger is to make sure he or she has something to eat that day.
I enjoyed this video and give you 10/10 for what you did to create it.
I did an apprenticeship for 6months and learnt a huge amount working front line in a very well known hostel in Westminster with drug users with heavy addictions, alcoholism, mental/physical health, you name it!
Not an easy job, I did love it as it was a challenge working with homelessness and addictions and what I did learn was that there is so much support for people with any addiction or even homelessness, bundles but I use my own descreation on giving money to beggars 👊👍
If we all stopped giving to beggars the nuisance of beggars would stop.
Employing a person to work while staying in the street, I think, doesn't help. I think it will only help if it helps the person to get a permanent home of his own.
impossimble
One more thing, in Birmingham im seeing many old shops empty because of the newer, more stylish locations like the revamped Bullring. Now why doesnt the Government take some of the money we pay in tax, and use that on these empty shops as basic accommodation for the homeless? Especially in Winter-time. They wouldnt even have to turn it into anything (for risk of drug-takers abusing and ruining it), but atleast use it to allow the homeless to camp out in so they have some shelter.
I've often looked at empty buildings and thought that. If aliens came to see our society and they saw homeless people yet loads of empty buildings they would think we were insane.
We could also do something like this in Wolverhampton.
@@shaunlenton8865 For sure, I've seen plenty rough sleepers in Wolvo too.
the nice shops who pay their business rates would not want their customers to be hassled by homeless people
Suilven Mountain nice shops, hassled?. I was homeless, my custom was just as good as the next person.....
£150 per day is a myth £6 in 4 hours is the reality
They could get temporary accommodation, benefits, help from food banks and other charities. No one in this country needs to sleep rough or to starve. The UK is a rich country, there is plenty of help available. If they are begging, it's because they choose to do so, not because they need to.
They earn more than I do....a begger at the traffic lights get 1-2 quid every 20 seconds when the lights go red.....Im in the wrong game!
If I was on the streets I would want to drink or get out of my head as much as possible . Fact .
It's a catch 22. Because if they carnt beg for money. Wot crime will they go off and do that's the problem. I would rather that person be a beggar than a burglar. Because ether way they need to make money. Instead of being judgemental towards homeless people. We need to look at solutions
In all reality there are soo many kind people and charities in Britain who feed and offer to house the homeless. I lived in a shelter (in Bristol) and was shocked by the entitled attitudes of fellow residents. The whole couple of wages away from being homeless is complete bull; helps there if you want it.
How do you get £1500 and still be on the street? Many of them say they can make 200-300 a day. I have to work 35 hours a week to make just over £300 then that is taxed and NI. I have a spine injury am female and have to lift weight at work and I do a night shift all week. I often give to beggars but much less so now because I feel I already help the un-employed through my tax. I am also 59 and blooming well knackered and have rent and bills to pay. ☹️
I feel guilty all the way from Australia. I'm a pensioner and don't have cash. Never carried cash in over 30 years. I'd have to walk strait past someone on the street.
the drug taking on the street has been around for years... I left London in 1978 cos the year before my child picked up 3 syringes in the flats where i lived....she was 5....we have homeless in the small town where i live...and you can usually tell who,s genuine and whos not...and while i will not give money i will buy a sandwich and a coffee
Make an excuse not to give your spare change to some one in great need.
It's a criminal offence to give money 💰 to a homeless beggar.!!.. yet you can steal under £200 worth of retail items and not worth police 👮 arresting the thief.!! Disgusting is our uk 🇬🇧 government.!!..
I always give to a homeless person.
I try to avoid a drug or alcohol user as I think that money could go in my babies savings account to better his future.
Genuine poor am always happy to help 🙌🏻💯
Homeless people crave just for someone to care or ask how they are genuinely .
Be kind to them always please.!! They are GODS children too regardless of their circumstances 🌹❤️
I like homeless people who do arts and crafts and sell something that they produce for money, its a fair swap then.
Bris Vegas not everyones got talents
I don't give to beggars. I will be guilty if I give to the wrong person and I don't know who is and who is not.
Even if they do spend it on drugs or booze, it's upto them. You can't get much lower than being on the streets, who wouldn't want to block it out?
NOBODY should be without a HOME, even the traveller should come home sometime.
The fella at the start who got arrested about to to be given £40. Said it's out of arrogance & ignorance. I bet he doesn't turn a penny down. What a odd thing to say.
500 a day lol I was homeless in London no drug or alcohol lol I was lucky to to make 5 pound a aday
i don't trust Charities , how much really goes to the Poor people ? , 10 % , 15 % one things for sure it'll be a low amount , would rather hand cash out on a one and one basis , not that i actually have cash , i Dumpster Dive for part of my living , low welfare here , can't afford some things but pan handle , i can't do it , why ? cause i have a conscience and it bugs me when people say Stupid things and i hate rejection , so i don't even ask for a smoke
Certainly there are bad/rip off charities... however... there are also good, well run charities, headed by honest altruistic human beings.
The person who donates has a certain responsibility to do their own 'homework' to find out those who are worthy of their contribution.
After doing much research I have found that two worthy groups are *Save The Children* and also * The *Prasad Project*.. which passes along 95 cents out of every dollar by keeping expenses extremely low.
Some charities which totally flunked my 'sniff' test were the Red Cross and the Jimmy Fund... where a ridiculous amount went to the CEOs.
The honest, hard working charities who do real good in the world should not have to suffer because of the greedy, mismanaged ones. So... Give Responsibly.
I do give nothing because I believe they should not even be there. they should be at the job centre for work and live in a shelter or another place where they can pay little rent. The government is responsible and not we, the citizens!
Not to the young beggars, but to the handicap or old ones !
You all need people understanding, one things the real problems. We need more voicing from people with their own experiences.
The question you need to bloody ask the government
Why is there never immigrants living on the streets
I see a lot of beggers in edgware road london. One of them came to my 4 month baby and tried to steal her two bracelets on her hand. She tried to steal it so she could sell it for money. I was told this by my daughters grandparents who look after my daughters. The grandma says they look muslim. They are not really muslims they dress like muslim to get money from people thinking they get more help. She even touched my daughter too. My daughter was sleeping in the pram when this happened.
Charity begins at home. If you want to give money, then give to a reputable charity. I was once approached in by a beggar that kept walking alongside me insisting I give money, when I eventually got away from him I was met with verbal abuse!
Charity ceo on 150k
When the Conservatives have abolished cash begging will be finished.
If you want to help real homeless people then donate to homeless charities.
If I've got it I give...
"I'm dying anyway , it's just a matter of time" ... well duh
Appointing a pop-music video commenting-style presenter to deliver what seems to be some brief and sensationalist field-research, is problematic. An issue as complex as inner city street-begging demands more thorough explanation, particularly over key phrases it raises like 'organised crime' amongst beggars. This video shows learned viewers nothing new insofar as reminding us that alcoholism and drug addiction does not always equate to having backwards morals. The whole operation of this mini-flick begs more explanation. Instead of doing good, it risks heightening mainstream paranoia and suspicion surrounding begging, homelessness and addiction. Irresponsibly, it is not thorough in any attempt to build bridges between an earning and housed public and a begging lesser housed or un-housed public. Let's note their presenter's failure to realise how London's homeless are in fact Londoners too.
Another cack-handedly unelaborated moment is the presenter's comment regarding public charity towards the homeless, as they adopt a snide tone, describing it as "actually, the real reason's to make themselves feel better". This pop-style, would-be documentary scratches the basic surface, but leaves very crucial socio-political issues left hanging in the air, and open to dangerous misinterpretation and misunderstanding. Somehow, this doesn't strike me as the type of high-brow documentary to have intended to ask such questions on purpose and then leave a lingering impact somehow. It's simply crass through it's inexperience in documentary-making. More statistics and less whimsical opinion would have made this worth watching for an adult audience who wished to learn more than they already speculate about. Nonetheless, crass voyeurism can be an entry-level towards awakening public empathy. Merely because of this; I would only recommend showing this to forward-thinking young children or adolescents who might be vaguely interested in learning about inner city poverty or how to solve it.
Selling the Big Issue is better than begging. By the way I know that guy Chester. He used to work in the music industry. But I haven't seen him for years now. The last time I saw him was about three years ago when he was sleeping in Oxford Street. By the way to get into a homeless hostel you have to be able to claim benefits. Which you can only do if you have got identification documents. And when people go into a hostel they cannot afford to work because the rents for hostels are so very high. Like 200 to 250 pounds a week. And it is harder than ever to get work now because employers require people to provide inditification documents like photo ID, proof of address and proof of national insurance number. I know because I was homeless or in squats for 22 years from 1996 to 2018. This documentary is also wrong because a lot of homeless people like I was do not drink alcohol or take drugs. I used to sell the Big Issue and used to use my money to buy warm waterproof clothing. An extra warm sleeping bag. Tents and luggage bags. And to by bicycles to travel about on. When I was homeless I used mostly camp in woodland and then cycle to my Big Issue pitch and then cycle a homeless daycentre to meet up with other homeless friends. The Big Issue also helped me to get passport to use as identification. That helped me to get off the streets. I stayed with a homeless organisation called Emmaus where homeless people have to work ful ltime in return for food, shelter and a very small wage. Then eventually got a part time cleaning job.
I've heard somewhere every pound given to street beggars is like taking two away from a charity.
Not sure how true, but giving to a homeless charity is way more beneficial than to someone sat with a sob story on a piece of cardboard.
Not too sure how much truth is in this.
Once I saw a young woman crying outside a tube station where there was a cash machine nearby. I asked what was the matter and she said she was going to sleep rough that night because she didn't have money for the homeless shelter. I eventually gave her some money and saw others who did the same. She probably spent that night getting high with my money. I won't give to beggars again, just to charities.
"probably"
So your just assuming??
You could have helped a desperate female get off the street for the night....
Oftentimes *less than 3%* of charity establishments takings/profits go to genuine charitable concerns...?
The majority fill the pockets of *CEO's/Management/Advertisements campaigns...*
Giving to *charities* in the modern era is akin to giving money to *criminal syndicates/profesional thieves/organised criminal beggars* etc
Good watch thanks👍
In Vegas, there are many 20-somethings that sit with signs saying “Need Money For Weed”. I’ve never given them anything, but at least they’re honest about it. There’s an employment center directly behind the Flamingo hotel, literally blocks away, where they could apply for a real job, but sitting on a corner with your buddies is easier I guess.
I AM AN EX USER JUST BEEN TAKEN OF THE STREETS 12MONTHS IN C.O.V.I.D I CAN SAY A HIGH PERCENTAGE AROUND THE UK AND IVE BEEN HOMELESS AROUND THE COUNTRY ARE ON DRUGS AND SPENDING IT WITHI ADDICTION AND ADDICTIVE BEHAVIOURS. £100 A DAY IN OST PLACES IS EASILLY MADE AROUND THE STREETS OF LONDON SOME PEOPLE AND I DID PAY INTO DRUG PARAFINALTED CRIME CLASS A'S HEROIN AND CRACK COCAINE.
investigative report took a really weird turn into like trying to gamify getting people to give her money on the street.
This video is damaging and makes me question the motive behind the documentary. This woman has done a huge disservice to people. no mention of the government whos policies have driven the rates of homelessness to new heights.
This documentary is not recent though, and despite the government's policies (and I agree, they have contributed to homelessness) most people in genuine need end up in a hostel or temporary accommodation. If they're hungry there are benefits, food banks and many other charities that can help them. This is a rich country, no one needs to beg on the streets. As the guy said in the video, maybe in Lagos, but not in London.
It's all fake and attention seeking. She's just trying to get into TV. Most of them aren't hungry or homeless. Their begging goes on booze, etc. Also that black guy @3min. Apparently makes £1500 in three weeks. In his dreams!
Tahir Idris more to the point, he's giving some of it away! To a dealer probably.
Also the *beggars* target those people whom they expect to give them money, whom are also vulnerable themselves?
The fact that it’s a criminal offence to give money to beggars shows how disgusting our government is.
There are so many professional beggars in Bournemouth too. My partner and I have s en them all get in a mini bus at the end of each day back to their lavish homes.
Charity is one of the Pillars Of Islam.
The true irony... is in the fact, that these *"Beggars"* would not give you a single *penny/dime* in actuality... if the role was in reverse?
In my experience, it's the poor who are more likely to give what they can. My daughter worked as a door to door charity canvaser. They went collecting in the poorer areas & avoided the posh houses. On the street, rough sleepers often share what they have.
@@zivkovicable You are right, it really is mostly those who have little, give more.....
Solo or whatever you call yourself. Keep your dumb comments to yourself. Can it.
Ask yourself, is it a crime to give a person money or anything else for that matter. No it's not, how could it. Even if it were a law how could anyone enforce it. So give away and test it. ☘️
An interesting dilemma is about to happen very soon and that's when cash money is no longer used and the central bank digital currencies are rolled out. I wonder what the drug users and beggars are going to do then?
1:06 ...."work out which beggars genuinely deserve my money"....WOW
@@ashlyr4385 I'm well aware of that, I live in London and it's very obvious when someone is not actually homeless. It's the choice of words that is horrendous, as if it's some sort of competition to find the *most homeless* person. So she can hand over her shrapnel and feel all good about herself.
Not quite sure of this researchers motive , not sure it's in the complete interests of the complex problem on the streets and their recovery not to mention that those whom are a few pay packets from living on the streets with family
I tested another one, I said whatever you give me I'll give you 5 times back. I only found one who gave me something , later I paid him 5 times back
just give them food
Exactly! See how no ones hardly mentioning that. If they were truly homeless and desperate they would accept food. Dont need to give them money, also why cant the Govt use some of the money we pay in tax to tackle the problem of homelessness?
Homeless doesnt mean that they are dying of starvation.. that means that they live in the Street and they dont need only food.. and maybe if they have money they can buy the food they like
@Dub Tzar That is YOUR perception, if i saw beggars as "non human" i would do what most people do and simply pass them by in the street.
@Dub Tzar I will continue to do what i can to help homeless people by giving them food and water. As for "choice" i work to earn my "money" and i pay taxes to politicians in a Government who use most of that money to fuel their rich, lavish lifestyles with bonuses each and every year.
I do not have a "choice" as to where exactly the tax i pay goes, but the Government do have a choice, and (as i stated already) they could use the tax hard work people (like myself) pay to open up many of the empty shops along high streets, to be used as shelters for homeless people.
@@RaikenXion They do but the Hostels are very violent etc and many won't stay in them!
Plus the Government don't care...the image they give out is propaganda so people keep paying taxes!
Begging n sleeping rough is legal in Scotland Scotland has compassion
Hi very nice informative video.
But it males me wonder.
1. Why do we GIVE these people money?
Is it because we GIVE it to help them out to buy a coffee, a tea may be a breakfast or lunch..
2, These are the things we are giving to help.
3, so we are giving to help them. Yes.
4, but as they say in the video we shouldn't give because they spend it on drugs. Yes.
5, AND IF we stop giving because of the drug use., what will happen then ? Where will they fund the addiction from..
6, they might start breaking in people's homes, they might start ROBBING old age pensioners, or women, or children, it could be anything bad.
7, so I think if my loose change stops all these bad things from happening then it's better to give.
8. We are giving to help in the first place, so what difference does it make to the giver. They are doing a good deed either way. If it's not a coffee, tea or lunch, it's stopping crime. .
If drug addiction was normal like coffee, tea or lunch, then I don't think they would hide it from the givers.
They still have some shame to not openly say what they going to buy.
End of the day helping someone for something they need is what matters,
GOD knows the giver gave to help ,and he will be rewarded for the good deed.
I believe in karma..
Life works in mysterious ways..we are tested in every way possible.
Thanks for your time.
Bless you all.😊
How many beggars are parked outside Buckingham Palace or Parliament House?
One tried to rob my wages from a cashpoint even though I was on a mobility scooter , I had to either fight him or just put up with it. Eventually he fed off threatening to kill me
The sister has very untidy gaff 🤣
I tested it out as well in my working rags from 6 days a week, all other buggers tell you to fk off, they refuse to share anything , when somebody gave me money, I gave it em back and told em I'm pretending to prove a point, I had 2 jobs and a sign in front of me asking for enough to get a bar of soap to get a job
Nice documentary. Despite the presenter going through all that, her conclusion was a pretty ignorant. The beggar was spot on when he said that people give because they want to feel good about themselves, a selfish, jerking off of the ego, and not to genuinely help. If you want to genuinely help go out there yourself and work with the communities, work with the charities and volunteer.
Where i'm from, we established a labour exchange programme and charity.
people donate to the charity, those in need exchange labour for
clothes food etc, those who can't work are also taken care of,
therefore begging is illegal
I never give cash, rather buy them a meal, groceries, a coat, clothes anything but money
I’ve offered food and even to pay for a hotel for the night, always been turned down as they get free food, hostel and just want money for drugs
How many cars, washing machines and fridges now does Britain build? Where are they coming from? I see most cars on the road are from France or Germany. Where are the workers of Britain?
What's happening to this world, it's disgusting when people can't find jobs because big business is buying everything they sell from China and other countries. This is the reason people are out of house and home.
Such a wasted opportunity to explore the reality of this situation , it comes across as naive and arrogant, even the ex bobby seemed unaware of the realities, ,Thumbs up, pretty obvious what that would mean , ,,surprised a healthy looking woman with clean blanket and headscarves didnt make much?
I believe it's because she wore a headscarf which made her appear as though she were a muslim, of whom are mostly despised and feared in the U.K. and Europe.
That's because she's not asking for money. Those who ask make a lot more than those who don't ask.
To demonstrate, lets say she looks a passerby in the eye and asks,
"Sir can you spare anything, I need money for a place to stay"
The passerby can respond in three ways:
1. Keep on walking and ignore
2. say "I don't have any money"..(lol everybody has money.)
3. Feel guilty about doing 1) or 2) so goes ahead and gives ( but would have kept walking if she didn't ask)
the whole point of giving a homeless person Cash is to make their Day , so don't worry about what they spend it on , they will buy what they want to buy , and it might not be a coffee or a sandwich , another thing don't just pretend to help , i've seen that before too , tainted offerings , its expensive out there today folks , 5 $ is ok but it doesn't buy much out there , just saying
All I have is a debit card. Nobody carries cash anymore.
Lol...they sit next to the cash point then ask you for money.
the debit card doesn't need to be in inserted in the atm so yeah cash is not needed
you know, you cant criticize the homeless without becoming a judgemental hypocrite. Whatever they do , you would absolutely do if you were in the same situation. She used a baby, you used a dog for the same purpose. They use drugs to cope, you use drugs to cope. Come on!
its tough because this is the I don't Care Generation , seriously
Rough sleeping and begging are illegal in England and Wales under the Vagrancy Act 1824, so is illegal immigration, that's why it's called illegal. Allowing these things or actually encouraging them shows a complete breakdown of law and order.
It is more blessed to give then to receive.. if that person that is receiving is not legitimate and has bad intentions with the gift it falls on them not on the person who gave. It's the act of giving that will be recorded in Heaven. And brought up again against the Wicked on The Day of judgment If that person didn't ask The Lord for Forgiveness..
Lost the job lost the accommodation,homelessness developing the stress depression going on drugs for relef.
We are all . . a few paychecks, from being homeless !
If it goes to drink or drugs so what ! it helps them survive and sleep the night !
I won't give money anymore
That dude said people give money cuz they're self centered and ignorant wtf no people do that cus they're descent humans 😑
where are they descending to
Your English isn't descent
lots folks here in merica have a flat but no money after bills so they fly signs to keep body and soul together and also the junkie beggars nothing wrong for asking for what you need begging is not a crime poverty is
the junkies should have a safe space yeah hard drugs suck open a free drug store help them quit
Yes you cant give .money.or food to.every homeless people as you would be doing.it.all.day as there are thousands of homeless .
Ha ha ha...I love so much when I saw this a video..right now in engkand and in USA many Baggers ..and homeless....I hope all of them are more flourist again...Congratulation guys...
I give money To homeless people because my Christian fath and it’s a good thing To give
The British Police don't seen to have a clue...
Nasty Son of A Gun,they dont ,that guy was more likely signalling to his mate that they hqad enough money for whateverr,hardly organised begging.
I bought one some food once and a hot drink he just pushed it to one side said the 5iver I spent he would of preferred as cash.
A street smart homeless person would be wary of somebody giving food. There are some sickos out there that would put something unpleasant in the food to make them sick.
Whatever they use it for, that's their preference. You gave it to them. Whatever gets them through the day. We all been their at some point, rich and poor.
its a private transaction; giving to beggars. who to trust? no trust is needed. if you give freely, then you don't need to rely upon your own idea of acceptable transaction. It does not need justification. there is no right or wrong, or if someone is making thousands of pounds a week, it doesn't make them ungenuine. they ask for money genuinely, money is either given or not.
A beggar in Edinburgh told me he was making very good money near st Giles, very good money, 50 per cent more than the average annual pre tax salary.
nevertheless, it is a tough wicket and there has to be a cost subjecting oneself like that. we all beg in socially acceptable ways. we want help, attention, listen to me, love me, help me, kiss me, fund me and so on. this is merely the sharper end.
Now I am going to begg
