There is a spiritual disease in Western culture where meanspiritedness is applauded and sympathy is deemed a sign of weakness.
Adam Jaskowiak was one of the men targeted and said he pleaded with police to be able to keep his things but was ignored. He was sleeping with eight other people finding shelter for the night in the former Ilford Baths in High Road, Ilford. All of their belongings were bundled into a police car leaving the men, one in his 60s, stunned. A police chief told the Recorder the operation was carried out to “reduce the negative impact of rough sleepers”.

Those cops need executing. Evil is not a powerful enough word to describe their actions.
Their actions are biblical.
For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

cops are just doing the LORD's will.

The only reason "us Brits are dying out" is because we made the mistake of taking our heels off the rest of the world.

This is in the UK and the Op has already altered their opinion on the validity of the report, so perhaps be bright enough to read the whole thread before replying...it's only 5 or 6 pages long

I know this sounds cold, but meh.....
You do not deserve food
You do not deserve a place to stay
You do not deserve free healthcare
The very fact that some countries try to provide this to everyone is the reason why we are in financial trouble.

Thankyou DESTINATION NOW for popping into this Thread and backing me up with your post!
Some people on ATS don't get it and start jumping to conclusions about you/me before they even know what I am about or who I am..... its sad but it happens.
Also, many do not understand what I write, I think this is where the Americans and British differ....

perhaps the government can unofficially designate some public areas far from such communities for the homeless to erect their dwellings and relocate homeless people occupying other public places to these areas?
You just proposed allowing slums to be built in the UK.
I'm not attacking you for that opinion, but this is what you have suggested. Within a decade that land would be covered in tin houses, tarpaulin roofs and open sewers.
We're supposed to be moving forward as a society, not moving backwards.

Of course a much better solution would be to allow low cost (and hence low standards, of both facilities and sanitation) housing to come up and allow people to move to those places.
What we really need is for all the shops, restaurants and bars in cities that own entire buildings to be FORCED to develop the upper floors into affordable housing.
You know, I saw a TV show once (it was actually a ghost hunting show in the UK from the same team as Most Haunted) where they were in an old building in a town and the ground floor was used by a chain club, the rest of the building above was completely derelict. I mean it was totally unused and hadn't been for decades. It was a beautiful building too, and it was being left to rot.
That building alone, fixed up to basic standards, could house hundreds of people.
We have a homeless problem in every major city and town in the UK, but we also have a problem with building management and companies letting historic buildings crumble and lay empty because of their own greed and selfishness.
There needs to be a plan to fix that first. The government wants to tax empty rooms in family homes, but they let corporations sit in massive derelict buildings doing nothing with them? They let house builders sit on land for decades just so a competitor cannot build there. This country is CORRUPT. That's the first thing that needs to change.

You may think I'm a Nasty person when I say this but if you are going to come over to England, you should be sure to have some Qualification in something to gain work or at least have prepared somewhere to stay before coming over.....
Seriously, I'm sure this guys life was better when he was back in Poland!
I see this Albanian Woman outside the shops trying to sell 'Big Issue'... I'm sure she must have come here for a better reason.
