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 |
No they are fining the pro beggars who are not genuine and rightly so. In an ideal world they would birch them but as that is not an option they fine them as what they are doing is making money under false pretences.
The cop survey is likely to be very accurate.
