Comment on "Nuisance begging" and rough sleeping as soon to be illegal
tetris11@lemmy.ml 5 months agoyou don’t see that as an avenue for more and more orgs to do this by default, and given the lack of public spaces in our cities, essentially making it impossible to beg anywhere?

Bro wtf are you on about? There's tons of public spaces in the UK.

At least where I live, you’ll be hard pressed to find a spot in the city where a homeless person can sleep unnacosted, either by spikes being put down on flat surfaces, parks being closed at night, and benches that aren’t on a main road.

I don’t think you’ve ever been to the UK. Most of those “public” spaces are corporate property and if you and your homelessness damage their brand they’ll escort you off.
The homeless camps on high street ken during the pandemic had this happen to them all the time, as if the cruel irony of rough sleepers next to wholefoods and dyson shit blower 3k ads wasn’t enough to make humanity unevolve peered solely by cringe alone and let trilobites, or some particularly feisty proto-moss take the top spot instead.

I've lived up and down the UK for nearly 30 years. In both the north and the south you can basically bump into public spaces that can be used by the homeless. Just because your city ain't got them doesn't mean it's the same for the rest of the UK.
