Shame fake beggars

-

CHARITY workers and business owners in Torquay, who have exposed the majority of the town’s beggars and rough sleepers as fakes, are being criticised for demonising the homeless (Mail).

I disagree: they have rightly exposed a bunch of shameless chancers who seek to exploit the good nature of the public and divert charitable donations from vulnerable people who genuinely need them.

It is the behaviour of the fake beggars that should be criticised, not the actions of the whistle-blowers.
