SIR — Mr Vince Wyre (Chronicle letter, April 9, complaining about beggars) is able, for the time being, to live in a “nice” town like Winchester.
Some other people are, for the time being and for whatever reason, obliged to suffer the degradation of being beggars in that same nice town.
Perhaps a humbler and less condemnatory tone might have been more appropriate to Mr Wyre’s letter, given the possibility that, by some capricious turn of fortune’s wheel, the roles might at some time be reversed.
Michael Blackstaff, Main Road, Colden Common.
