Britain's child beggars

They're not scum, they're just people taking advantage of a flawed benefits system. If the system was tightened then they wouldn't be able to get away with it. There are plenty of British people ripping off the benefits system too in one way or another. But all of this is peanuts compared to how much the banks have ripped us all off.

I beg to differ, just because you can get away with it, doesn't make it right :search:

Agree.

 

Having said that, the banks were allowed to rip the system off as the measures to "control" them were relaxed or removed.

Fair Point

 

No but if the rewards for breaking the law are much greater than the deterrent and punishment then there will always be cheats.

 

Very True.

 

The police need the power and the necessary resources to enforce the law. Perhaps the law needs to be strengthened too. This applies not just to these beggars, should be the case across the board.

 

Yeah but IMI's posts normally have a hidden agenda :D

 

what possibly could be a hidden in this case?

Nothing, just Paul's paranoia again. He is a Daily Mail reader after all (and proud of it :p)

He still reads that shyte! :D

 

Also people should be aware not to give anything to beggars, nowadays it's difficult to tell who to trust.

 

Don't even get me started on the banks.
