Tis' the season to be jolly and in the city, jolly means fighting for your begging spot.
Well done Sadiq, the affluent districts of London now look like a third-world bazaar with
scrounging people attempting to trick those with cash.

Quote:Brit beggars being forced out of regular spots by Eastern European gangsSOURCE:
British beggars are being muscled off the streets by mobs from eastern Europe.
'The gangs - mainly from Romania - have descended on London to prey on Christmas shoppers.
They turf homeless Brits from their pitches at prime tourist spots, steal the cash they have been
given and threaten violence if they resist.
Council chiefs have urged shoppers to call police if they see beggars brawling. Two homeless men
were seen fighting for a spot outside luxury department store Selfridges.
They dropped their sleeping bags and threw punches at each other in a row over the prime pitch.
Alex Pugh, 28, who moved to London two years ago after losing his home in Cornwall and sells
Christmas wreaths to tourists, said: "There's a lot of dark stuff out here on the streets.
You've got to be ready to fight.
"They'll sit in your spot if you move for two minutes. When I slept near a station I woke up and they
had nicked all my change and my pot. “The foreign beggars come over for Christmas and go back
in January. It's not right."...'
