This is already happening on the streets of the United Kingdom too, but news outlets are unwilling to point the finger at immigrants without being branded as waaaaaaacist, or anti-EU or whatever the evil-prejudice-du-jour is..

The Copenhagen Times runs with what you’d hardly describe as “breaking news” by using a recent poll:

“The number of people begging on the streets of Denmark has risen, according to a new Megafon poll. The poll shows that 70 percent of respondents have been asked for spare change in the last year.

The poll also showed that 58 percent of people believe that the number of beggars has risen in the last five years – a view that is shared by Deputy Chief Superintendent Mogens Lauridsen of the Copenhagen Police.

‘After the expansion of the EU in 2007, we saw a noticeable influx of beggars from Eastern European countries,’ Lauridsen said to Politiken newspaper.

A police spokesman said street begging in Copenhagen had developed a seasonal trend and in summer, it was usually Romanian woman with children doing it.“

It’s probably due to climate change, or something. Whatever’s causing it can’t be to do with EU-enforced open borders, surely?
