Instead of Elon’s jet tracker, can we make a website that tells people which of a given MPs properties they are not staying in on a given night?

I don’t think this is about trying to get money out of the homeless, I think it’s the adjacent power to move them on. In other words, homeless people living in urban centres can be bused out to brownbelt or industrial estates so they don’t clutter up ‘nice’ town centres with their unpleasant presence. This is why it will appeal to their voter base. They won’t have to see rough sleepers anymore. There will be no more homeless people camped outside Waitrose.

What does rough sleeping mean? Homelessness?

It’s basically to differentiate ‘homeless’ as in all the people without a home, including those in hostels, sofa surfing, staying with friends, etc from the sleep outside kinda people. Rough sleepers are the latter.

These being tories, are we sure the rebels don’t think the policy should be MORE moronically evil?

The Tories are cartoonishly evil. How much of a cunt do you have to be to criminalise rough sleeping?

Their policies create destitution, and then they punish the destitute.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
