These types of beggars have become endemic all over Europe too. And with the best will in the world they are not genuine hardship cases. They are professional beggars. If they could put half the effort they expend scrounging into working they would be EARNING well from gainful employment.
The worst thing you can do is give them anything. If everyone had to courage to say no, they would disappear. Another pet hate are squeegee merchants who insist on cleaning your windscreen and headlights at traffic lights and junctions.
