Pests in blue

No not the police or Chelsea. Anyone been in London recently and encountered the little pests who hang about outside tube stations wearing blue jackets with a logo with a knife covered in blood? First saw them a couple of years back they claimed to be selling a magazine helping to fight knife crime(fuck knows how that helps-maybe you wear it in your shirt to deflect a knife?). Been to central London recently and they are there again not selling magazines but just demanding money or even card payments(once again how that stops knife crime is a mystery). Many of them are pests I even watch them intimidate people, could call it demanding money with menaces, always go for middle class types never anyone who looks a bit clued up. Whats this all about?

I'm hardly ever bothered by chuggers which means presumably I look like a tramp?
However, I have been stabbed twice on separate occasions if you feel like giving me some money?
Just donate on:

I stopped and listened to one of them last week, heard the story and made a donation, if they can do some good that’s good as far as I’m concerned, the one I spoke to was from North London off an estate and had himself been helped in his time and was now a student at Nottingham University, he’s now helping others.
I do agree on the chugger front though and it is annoying but blanking them, learned from being hounded in African airports by taxi drivers and beggars, definitely works.

Surely they're paid chuggers - charity muggers - there are loads of them all the time for different causes.
Was walking through the main pedestrian area of a big city this week and was stopped three times by people from the same charity who had stationed themselves at 50 metre distance from each other. They are so annoying. I hate chuggers. Shit job (they are usually paid by an agency and aren't even employees of the charities concerned).

I live in central London and have never seen these people although it's a great idea to make people who are a little bit stabby wear a Hi Vis coat.
It makes life a little bit easier so good on them.

I've not seen them but I agree it sounds annoying and dodgy.
