As someone who’s been homeless and yes I’ve begged on the streets too, I’m sick of the armchair philosophers and MP’s grubbing for a few votes by pandering to the ignorant by having a go at people who are homeless and beg, don’t give them money, get a job etc etc ad nauseum. At least this is one small victory in the never-ending battle against people that would rather blame the homeless than attempt to sort out the causes therefore helping those who are struggling in life.
