Mclean
Hundreds of readers from all corners of my mind have been writing in to ask me to justify my labelling of David Maclean, the Tory Chief Whip [see comments], as 'dreadful'. I need more time, but for now I'll leave you with this:"Most [street beggars] are Scottish and I've never met one yet who politely and gently asked for money...There are no genuine beggars. Those who are in need have all the social benefits they require...Beggars are doing so out of choice because they find it more pleasant...I always give them something -- I give them a pieice of my mind'.
David Maclean, January 1997
