I assume it will be on a tab or something?

That's so disgusting. Thank god Diane Abbott is speaking up about this, one of very few decent Labour MPs left

Labour Council

I know. Doesn't make it any less disgusting just because I prefer Labour to the tories, in fact it makes it a whole lot worse since Labour has traditionally always looked after the working class and poorest in society and it is clear they are moving away from that. very saddening

It's obvious showmanship because there's obviously no way they can actually pay. Surely it'll cost more to implement than will actually be gained (which will be zero).

They should round them up and take them to live in barracks in wales. make them work and feed them. They could build roads and repair paths.

You mean like the bedroom tax :hehe:

But this idea is ****ing ridiculous. I have never heard owt as daft actually. If a homeless person had a grand to pay a fine then I doubt they would be sleeping on the streets...

They could send in the bailiffs to repossess their belongings. I hear there's a roaring trade in piss stained blankets and fleas.

More likely though they just keep it on file, then hammer them with it if they ever dare to pull themselves out of the hole they're in. "Oh I see you used to be homeless and have turned it all around? Well... Actually you owe us £17,000 for all of the fines you've had over the last couple of years. What do you mean you still can't pay?? Back to the streets with you!"

[JoshBB]

This is literally worse than the bedroom tax. Labour really are making my choice in the next election easier and easier.

Well maybe they could go on our open Fires

I am. Which is why I feel less and less torn between voting the tories out, or voting for what I actually believe in.

The Tories (unfortunately) aren't going anywhere for at least 10 years Josh, not unless they SERIOUSLY mess something up. Vote with your heart you must, padawan.

..and asking for fines that would be impossible to pay...maybe provide more facilities for the homeless would be better to solve it then and then the churchyards would be lovely for tourists...

[lily.]

Good luck getting them to pay the fine. Where are they gonna send the bill? These people have no money and no address. What a fkin joke.

Hackney Council attempting to get blood out of a stone.

[joeysteele]

Absolutely disgraceful and this Council should be really hammered for this pathetic and ridiculous response to likely people complaining.

As for the Churchyard bit,this makes me sick, the description churchyard means burial places beside a Church, a Christian church to boot.
Who when people are homeless, penniless and needing sleep or somewhere to rest, their doors are firmly locked to them.

It drives me mad when Priests go no about helping the down and out and never give then shelter or make sure they have something to eat.
In most places too, there are no public toilets or washrooms open 24 hours anymore, what are homeless people to do.

So easy to condemn,much harder to help solve the problem with no will or understanding.
Local authorities in near every street,have empty buildings which used to be shops an stores,all that have washbasis and toilet facilities in them, far better than have them left empty to open them up at night to accommodate the homeless.

That would go some way to helping solve the problems of bad hygiene in Churchyards.
Unbelievable and this Council deserves all the anger and bad press it gets as to this idea.
