36 Answers

Begging is still (technically) illegal per the vagrancy act of 1824.
do the train company have right on their side? or is their action blatantly "anti poor" in the use of what some see as seriously outdated legislation?

Accusing the company of being "irresponsible", Mr Nwogbo said: "It represented a certain attitude towards homeless people that I thought was brute. It was inhumane."//
Says it all really imo.
I wonder if the petitioner has considered that the action may have been taken by the train company after requests from the public? The majority of the public, who I think are very charitable to their own choices, are not fond of beggars on the street (and their obligatory staffy) and find them at worst intimidating.
I never give to beggars anymore due to the fact.
1. I had one come into my workplace and threaten to "slot" me
2. my wife was getting some money from a cashpoint early one morning on the way to work and was surrounded by 3 of them.
3. I was walking behind one and he looked in the palm of his hand to examine his packet of weed.
4. The little park near where I work which was a nice place to sit and enjoy lunch is now full of discarded bedding, empty bottles and rubbish, and early morning you can see them all stumbling around plus Ive watched the dealer plying his trade when I finish work.
5. I even had one ask me to get him a steak bake, not can you spare some change but he gave me his requirements.
