“Any chance of the cracking down on begging? Twice in one day asked for money. I bet if I described them both they would be known by others as one has asked a few times and the other many times.
It is sickening and it is one of the worst things about Gloucester. We already give them money through our taxes no doubt.”

“what a good idea.
take the car keys off the police and make them walk in town, a bigger police presence is needed, look at them in the cars overweight”
