Why isn't street begging illegal?

I have been taught to understand that not all humans can be helped.
You do not fix a problem by handing everyone a plausible solution.
You should volunteer or talk, but never give money.
As you're feeding drug habits, and that makes you a bad person in my eyes

How can you starve?we have jobseekers for a reason.
I mean we have cheap supermarkets like aldi and tescos

I mean all you do is sign a paper, and you get paid.

I find that to be interesting, but maybe it is because you have grown to know those homeless folk and security must be top notch.
I think people who want to help themselves should only get help.
Nope it was the professor Green one, I will watch the one you're talking about.

Ban begging but don't address the problem. Do nothing to prevent homelessness. Way to go, mate.

Well the begging culture needs to be tackled.

Lots of people on the streets are people with problems, addictions, suffering family breakdowns, menatl helath issues and abuse.



Lots of people who were on jsa get sanctuined and thus they dont have any money. there seems to be a lot you dont understand about the homeless.



not sure how locking them up and giving them a criminal record helps anyone.

Sometimes people want to help themselves but they don't know how. A lot of homeless have deep rooted mental problems that can't be fixed overnight. Who are we to judge who "deserves" help and who doesn't? We are all humans. No one is beyond redemption.

The begging culture wouldn't be as big of a deal if so many people didn't feel the need to beg. Again, address the root cause of the problem and then we can talk about the effects.

Diesnt give you a home though. several more steps for that. You seem remarkably ill informed aboyt how the benefits system works.

Good thing that I have google.
I mean it is not complicated

Well if you were better informed then you'd know that it takes more than just someone 'signing a form' to qualify for benefits.

I could easily fill out an application online.

I mean you just go to a job centre and tell them your situation and they will put you on the system.
Every poor person is entitled to a benefit

addiction and criminal activity are the main culprits.
I mean we have foodbanks and soup kitchens.

I mean people who beg should be fined and locked up for being a nuisance

I agree. They do not deserve any loans from me.
