I mean people who beg should be fined and locked up for being a nuisance
it is illegal, they have to be 'street performers' or they get moved on by the police

Well clearly the welfare system isn't efficient if there are still many people out on the streets
Logic doesn't always work, unfortunately, dear

It will stop others from begging
Yes, it will stop other stop beggars, because they'll most likely die of starvation.

Darling there will be always be people sleeping on the streets as most of them choose that lifestyle, hence drugs and alcohol.
Give them a house and a job and I bet you that most of them cannot maintain it.

How can you starve?we have jobseekers for a reason.
I mean we have cheap supermarkets like aldi and tescos
Mate there's swindlers, sure, but there's swindlers with homes. Beggar shouldn't mean, homeless. It could mean someone who is desperate to make the last 10 bucks of a bill or debt or something before a deadline, or who has a place but needs the rent or food
be sympathetic bruh. Create that Good Karma for yourself.Original post by Blue_Mason

Professional beggars can make a good amount of money, tax free money, and some do not even pay rent.

You cannot just stroll into the jobcentre and get given jsa and benefits. They are means tested, they can take up to 6 weeks to come through which is not helpful if you have no food or a landlord demanding rent. You have no idea how it works. I work with homeless people in a hostel, you have no clue of their circumstances. Ignorance is bliss I suppose.

You have a point, but a percentage can be deported
and you think Aldi and Tesco give jobs to anyone? It's a bit obvious you've never had to look for work- probably because your parents did it for you. There will ALWAYS be people who are homeless simply, because they choose that way. HOWEVER, many homeless people do try to move on in their lives but are unable to do so because of the lack of help available with all the cuts in welfare benefits and funding for support centres. Such people need support from the welfare system first but then need to be encouraged to look for work and full help and advice should be given. You're just ignorant and narrow minded who thinks the solution to such problems is simple.

A small one. I know these people and it is not a large one
They are also all human beings

Do we not have drop in centres that can assist people?
Soup kitchens?
Its funny you say that as I am planing to volunteer and work with a homeless charity.
Again I have nothing against homeless people, only beggars
It's illegal to be homeless? I hope the punishment isn't a fine.
