Apologies, I indeed haven't seen the programme.
I thought you were just doing your usual "scroungers" routine, which is possibly understandable.

If you had actually SEEN the programme we are talking about then you would realise that they WERE in receipt of multiple benefits and had mansions back in their own Country.

If they're already in receipt of 15 lots of benefits why are they begging?
If I had that kind of income I'd be down the pub, not hanging around on street corners with the arse out of my trousers.
I think it's more likely that the people you are talking about are genuinely skint. I'd look for that compassion app on your new toy if I were you.

Quite right, FC.
You are just perpetuating the situation (assuming, of course, that they are really destitute and not just topping-up the benefits they already claim under 15 different names !!!)
