She said it was for some people. I’m not a Tory voter but manipulating what people say isn’t any better just because it’s not Trump doing it.

Yes that is what she said, but that doesn’t mean that is how it’ll be used. Once that law is in place, they will use it to attack any homeless they feel like. This law is not in any way necessary. They are trying to fix a symptom instead of fixing the root problem.

I doubt anyone chooses to sleep in a tent outside m&s if there were decent alternatives, not hostels where you risk you minimal possessions or even safety. Make the shelters better and better prospects. If the people are here illegally then use that avenue, if they are legal then we should help those less fortunate not leave them to freeze

Why not just go whole way spray homeless people with a hose and leave them to freeze to death /s

This was actually a thing under Tory-run Westminster Council in the late 80s/early 90s.
Monstrous.

I wouldn’t be surprised if she puts forward plans to relocate them to a hidden corner of the UK, barge ship, or something like that so long as it’s out of sight. Then use it as an arguing statistic that they’ve reduced homeless by x%
