Here is an interesting chain of events. Businesses complain of beggars blighting our city (Argus, December 27). The Argus campaigns "Don't give to Beggars! Give to charities instead".
Charities and Brighton and Hove Council then provide homes for more homeless and London sends more homeless migrants to the South Coast in "temporary accommodation".
Councillor Tehmtan Franroze says we are not paying for them (Argus, December 15). Brighton and Hove is reported as having 7,000 migrants in temporary accommodation, who are bored to tears and find ways to supplement their incomes.
How? Begging? Or what else?
When their "temporary accommodation" comes to an end, the council and the charities find homes for them and we pay for them, contrary to what Coun Framroze says.
What next? London sends more of them to us. Businesses complain of beggars blighting our city...
Snakes and ladders?
