It's okay naomi. We both know the answer but no-one wants to say it.
fiction-factory, I don't know what your answer if, but I don't have a problem with beggars being told in no uncertain terms to hop it!
Simply say 'No begging, stop now'


Nothing more was needed.

So Im guessing then that a lot of the posters on this thread think its ok to have open borders and allow professional beggars in to ply their trade as they get more money here than in their home country.




Dave.
Not at all, are you saying there was not a simpler way to tell someone to stop begging and bothering other passengers?
Question Author
Not at all, but it certainly wasn't racist or xenophobic and wouldn't suprise me if it was classed as a hate crime by the thought police.




Dave.
Lazy and unprofessional - hate , no, not to me though of course we don't know the thoughts of the person who made the announcement.
The tannoy announcer should offer advice, not comment.

// Move along sir, it is illegal to beg here // is advice and is acceptable.
// You might do it in your country but you're not doing it here. // is comment and not helpful or acceptable.

A simple word with the announcer is sufficient, no reprimand necessary.

How did the man in question know that the beggar was Eastern European?

Either way what he said WAS offensive-FACT.

""We've had numerous complaints about your behaviour demanding money and begging. You might do it in your country but you're not doing it here."

So if he had knowledge that the beggar was from the UK would he have said

"We've had numerous complaints about your behaviour demanding money and begging but as you're from the UK, carry on"?

We all should agree that this is a cretinous moron and if it was up to me he would have been suspended with him spending one week with a "Foreign" beggar and one week with a beggar from the UK with his wages each week going to the beggar to "School" him on how hard things are whether you're a UK beggar or a beggar from abroad.

I'd think he would have came back to work with a new attitude towards beggars, the homeless and the less fortunate.
Begging illegal? That's going to scupper the government's Brexit plans then :-)
I think you'll find that your suggested phrase to shame a UK beggar wouldn't work, Lunol. You probably need to leave it to the announcer who seems to have a talent for picking the right phrase.
Lunol , //We all should agree that this is a cretinous moron//

Why should we? Because the politically correct tell us we should?

//what he said WAS offensive-FACT.//

Why was it offensive? The beggar was told “You might do it in your country”. He might. Why is it demanded of us that we pussyfoot around people who create problems? Get a grip!! It’s the same old story. Someone trying to do his job says a few words perceived by the serially offended to be out of place and he’s the one who’s castigated. This abject nonsense is creating a very wonky world.
Well done to that man.

If the beggar was offended (which I am not sure he was) then dont commit the crime.

Anyone else should but out or do something to stop the crime of begging instead of just moaning.

It was only just one complaint, we have to stop pampering to these sad PC individuals.
//what he said WAS offensive-FACT//

No it is not a FACT. I am not offended, others are not offended. Just because a few PC liberals thing it offensive does not necessarily make it so - FACT.
Abandon the tannoy, it sounds like a job for the Children's TV favourite: 'Pauper Patrol' ;o)
