Its appalling that the Councils allow someone to sleep on the streets 'because they are not linked to the area'.

I'm not denying alcohol and drugs aren't a factor for many, it's just such a complex problem and we all have different experiences of it. I think we can all agree it shames us as a country.

No one is saying one group is more worthy than another. Most people would agree everyone should have shelter.

But this story isn’t about government policy or who gets housed by the state. It’s about a private hotel taking someone’s money and then deciding, based on how they looked, that they didn’t want them inside, not you being hell bent on trashing brown people.

A hotel took payment.
Then refused entry based on appearance.

That is discrimination. I’m glad they could stay somewhere else.

Well said

Some businesses are a disgrace and hindrance to that, even if it's sometimes just trying to organise a hot drinks or a meal in some so called business establishments

There shouldn't be any human beings left homeless or freezing on the streets.
It's really bad there is.
I really hope some government will develop more heart and reach out and end it.

You would.like to believe, Joey, that organizations and charities that help feed, cloth and mentor the homeless would be up for people taking it upon themselves t9 helonthe homeless. Yet we have a so called right wing youtuber from Leeds called marti blagbourough who goes out nightly with a shopping trolley set up of hot grub, sleeping bags, and sometimes tents that he and his team hand out to the homeless of Leeds youbwould think the homeless charities would applaud his efforts. They don't, be a been reported 5 times to hygiene and trading standards etc etc in the past 3 months that he's started it.


All free of charge. Just a bloke giving back...but no...not allowed.

No one is trashing brown people…it’s merely a discussion regarding homeless people.
I think we can all agree that the hotel were in the wrong…
