Any excuse to fine people eh? What about the genuine homeless people, how on earth can they pay a 200 quid fine

I can't believe the number of 'fake' homeless is that high...I know some do so it but its hard to believe its 1 in 10 tbh. Theres a guy in Durham, he brings this scruffy little dog with him and gets more because he has a dog, but he OWNS a home not far from where he begs.

Still don't believe only 1/10 are genuine though. I can't see them making much and they freeze their arses off sitting outside all day in all kinds of weather :S
