Good call. So she's been begging since early March and has upgraded to a larger sign and possibly found shitter shoes. I guess Immigration would be slightly reluctant to detain visa overstayers atm, unless they're causing disorder.

Looks like the same shoes, only much dirtier, definitely the same woman. Agree with you about the visa overstay point, if they’re doing no real harm (other than make the place look untidy) why bother with them if it’s not possible to eject them from the country.

Beggars get no sympathy from me.

“You give a poor man a fish and you feed him for a day. You teach him to fish and you give him an occupation that will feed him for a lifetime.”

In a first world country you would think there would be no need for begging, apart from the professional beggars. But that of normal people get overlooked at times by the authorities and that of the social system. There maybe some unforeseen reason the street beggar has no sympathy from yourself, your quote has no relevance in todays world, the simple fact is you need money to do the most simple things in life! "To teach him to fish and you give him an occupation that will feed him for a lifetime.” That would firstly cost, and use someone's time, and who would pay the teacher? I know it would have been a possible hypothetical remark from you. Possibly like yourself I have not been one with a silver spoon in my mouth, and believe hard work for a living is the only way forward. Better too to build a safety net, because if not it could be so easy to slip on hard times, unfortunately we can't see the future instore for ourselves, but we can control some of what may come along.
It once happened to me. I had suffered illness on my travels to distant lands, free health care back home, more so because it was the nature of an airborne contagious virus, but no living support allowance, most of my family and friends too didn't want to know or help, but I got over the illness of five years by my own means of the safety net. Not everyone is has lucky to be prepared for such things in todays world.
So I don't un-sympathise of beggars because I don't know the reason they ended up in that situation, they are at their lowest if their not doing it professionally.

Give a man a fish and you'll feed him for a day, but give him a case of dynamite and soon the village will be showered with mud and seaweed and unidentifiable chunks of fish.

Good policy. But you depend on other people all the time. nobody does anything alone.
