Today in The Telegraph Conservative MP, Douglas Carswell, proposed that the UK should leave the EU to solve the problem of ‘Roma beggars’ coming here. I’ve posted my response below: “Roma children are often forced to beg and denied their childhood and education. It’s illegal to beg on our streets, but behind this can be a more sinister crime, involving human trafficking and modern day slavery. “According to Thames Reach, the charity quoted in the story, most people in London who beg are doing so to support a serious drug habit. The best response of the public, they advise, is never to give any money to any beggars, that way ending the cycle in which we, the public, are directly connected. “So yes, this is a problem, but do we really need to leave the EU to solve it, as proposed by Conservative MP Douglas Carswell? “About two million Brits live, work, study or are retired in other parts of the European Union. More British people live in Spain than Polish people live in Britain. The advantages of the EU work both ways. “ telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/romania/10341995/The-foreign-beggars-that-Britain-cannot-stop.html
