...sorry Cataclyzm, I had to larf!
Alright, so maybe there's hardly a minority group not taking a bashing in this thread but the poin being made is against professional begging. Yes its sad that some people have no, or feel they have no choice other than to beg but Glasgow City centre has become a chicken run for the "commercially impoverished"!
I for one am sick of being harrassed at the subway station by "biiii...issshue" and then being threatened when you refuse, only to come out the other end to be confronted by "gonnae tap iz a shnout" or "gonnae geeza draw ay yur shnout" and when the answer they recieve is a polite "no" they're askin to search your pockets!!!
Then there's these Kriskna people... what drugs are they on???? If they sold them in Buchannan St I'd maybe consider stopping to speak to them! At least they're harmless tho! the charities guys are ok tho, jyust draw them a dirty look
