Day in day out we listen to the doom and gloom merchants in the media telling us we are experiencing financial Armageddon around the globe. In the US the property market has crashed, and jobless numbers continue to increase. In Europe, Greece and Ireland appear to be on the verge of bankruptcy with other countries teetering on the edge. In the UK, we are about to experience one of the biggest budgetary cuts in public spending since World War II, with no government department immune from the carnage. Such substantial cuts will in turn lead to mass job losses across every part of the public sector.
Globally, many cities have been experiencing large, and at times, violent protests by groups opposed to government actions to address the financial problems. In sum the financial crisis is deep and significant. However, I thought I had heard just about every indicator and statistic, from numerous economists, describing in some detail the dire state of the global economy. Until now that is!
In Finland, even the street beggars have been protesting. They have recently staged a two-week protest outside the Romanian embassy in the capital Helsinki. The protestors, were not complaining about the fiscal actions or the spending cuts by the Finnish government, they were protesting against rival beggars from eastern European countries who they claim are 'stealing their business'. Some of the Finnish beggar organisers had even displayed placards and posters saying, 'Begging - Choose Finnish.'
It appears begging in Finland is also experiencing a significant downturn, and has become another victim of the global economic crisis.
