I’ve declined from posting in this thread, as for me it’s fairly emotive. I would however like to add this. I know there are folk who just “try it on” just another way of making a fast buck., we’ve all probably been conned at some point or other by such scoundrels.

However, not all who beg can be classified as “scum”

Some beg because of an illness, addiction. Be it drugs, alcohol…whatever. When the money tap at home gets turned off they will do as they need to feed the addiction.

I’m not saying give these people money, just asking you to spare a thought, they may well have a loving family behind them, attempting to support them whilst attempting to keep the rest of the family together.

Scum isn’t applicable across the board.
