I think these people are a real irritant, but why don't people just completely blank her? Do not be apologetic, do not be rude - just walk past. If everyone did that she (they) would go away. If Sainsbury's could they would have moved her by now, and if the BI are investigating they will take the appropriate action - I have said before that surely homelessness is a pre-requisite? If they tick the boxes and do not restrict Sainsbury's trade they are entitled to pitch there. My only beef is that she may detract from the charities that more legitimately set up on Saturdays. Otherwise sorry to repeat this accusation but I think people need to be honest with themselves - there would be far less outcry about this if the vendor were a loveable British whino with a dog on a string rather than a person of Estern/Central European ethnicity.
