"Fake Homeless": Who's Begging on the Streets? 2018

1

Is Britain being duped by “fake homeless”, chancers posing as destitute to boost takings? Or is this a scare story to demonise real homeless? Ellie Flynn investigates. The number of people sleeping rough in England is at a record-high – a 73% increase over the last three years. Government data shows that on any given night in autumn last year, nearly five thousand people were recorded sleeping on the streets, a figure that has more than doubled since 2010. But there are claims that the UK has a serious problem with “fake homeless” begging on the street. These are people who have homes, but still go out onto the streets to beg. They pose as if they are living on the streets so that they can collect money from strangers. News stories of scammers are frequent, and some police records show that 80% of people begging have “some kind of home” to go to. With beggars in our towns and cities sometimes behaving aggressively and anti-socially, the thought that people may be pretending to be homeless when they're not has enraged many communities. In Cambridgeshire, the police say there are towns where everyone begging is fake so they practice a “zero tolerance” attitude to encountering begging, sending them for sentencing at a magistrates. But it’s not just the police who are stamping out fake begging. In Devon, Ashley Sims is taking a stand by photographing, investigating and then shaming fake homeless beggars. He claims he has cut the number of homeless in Torbay from 23 to just 6 homeless people, as all the “fake homeless” have been driven out after being exposed. Ashley has been branded a “homeless vigilante” by the press. And in Liverpool one business owner claims every beggar outside his pubs and clubs is fake homeless. So are we in a country full of scammers? Homeless charities argue that the individuals people like Ashley is photographing and Cambridge police are taking action on may well have homes, but that they have complex and chaotic lives that may have led to them begging on the streets. They argue that people like Ashley are demonising the homeless population, who already face a lack of trust and abuse from the public. So what's the truth?

Undercover Princes is a BBC Three reality TV show which took three royal claimants from foreign cultures and placed them in Brighton where they had to 'live and date' like normal people. The idea for the programme came from the 1988 Eddie Murphy movie Coming to America. The contestants were Remigius Jerry Kanagarajah, in exile from the kingdom of Jaffna; Africa Zulu, a Zulu chief from South Africa; and Manvendra Singh Gohil of Rajpipla in north west India. The three men lived in a house together and the primary focus is on their search for a 'princess' in the UK whilst at the same time getting used to having to do things for themselves. All three ultimately failed to find a lasting relationship. The series was narrated by Dawn Porter. A female counterpart, Undercover Princesses, was made.

Help Me Anthea, I'm Infested

Help Me Anthea, I'm Infested 1970

1

Help Me Anthea, I'm Infested is a 2007 factual entertainment television show produced by RDF Television for BBC Three, presented by Anthea Turner and Mark Coltman, a professional pest control expert. The presenters visit people whose houses have pest control problems, give them advice and help them to exterminate vermin. Originally slated for six episodes, the BBC cut the series short after the third episode was broadcast. According to an interview with Anthea Turner, only the first three episodes were planned to be on bug infestations, although she did not specify what later episodes would cover. Critical reactions were very negative: James Watson at the Daily Telegraph described it as being both boring and exhibiting "grinding, excruciating pointlessness", while The Guardian's Nancy Banks-Smith described it as "frightful". Charlie Brooker thought Turner came across as "a hard, judgemental piece of work who spends most of her time haranguing the human inhabitants for living in filth", and the resulting programme feels like "a strange psychodrama in which the punters are caught between unfeeling vermin on one side, and an unfeeling former Blue Peter presenter on the other". Jeremy Paxman used it as an example of the perceived low quality and lack of public value of BBC Three programmes in an interview with the BBC chairman, Sir Michael Lyons, on Newsnight along with My Man Boobs and Me, My Dog Is As Fat As Me, Freaky Eaters and Fat Men Can't Hunt. The novelist P.D. James listed it as one of the BBC's "most embarrassing programmes".
