There are more beggars than there are witches on broomsticks at Euston Station.

It's always been that way and I'm expecting ( no, not a baby ) it to remain the same,

Begging is a game for most and a necessity for the few who really do need assistance

The NAB or the National Assistance Board
got fed up with their **** and turfed them
off the books years ago
and now they go
to where the pickings are easier.

It's indicative of something lacking
both in the beggar and in the system
that forces people onto the streets and
into foodbanks

but what do I know?
*** all
shouts the claptrap in
the back row
and for once
the little ***** is right.
