I suppose buskers count as this, right? Sometimes I give to them if they are really good. Never give to normal beggars.

When I was in London Overground there was this really good band which was busking and I decided to give them half a pound because I genuinely enjoyed their performance.

About a minute later the train driver/conductor came on the speakers telling us that we shouldnt give to the buskers and that people like them were ruining the British benefits system. Felt weird knowing I had just contributed to the downfall of the British welfare state.
