They should just reinstate debtors' prison. If a person doesn't have a home and they're sleeping in public places how on earth will they have a thousand pounds to pay a fine?

Not much of a surprise, since the world is turning towards tolerance and political correctness based lifestyles. I guess common sense, reasoning, and logic are gone. People operate their reality based on emotions. England also wanted to ban kitchen knives. I find this to be a very messed up world. Evil thrives while the good suffers. It is quite inevitable. I'm just curious when the Apocalypse occurs will it create a paradigm shift and force people to return to some semblance of what works for Mankind.

What a great idea. Fine people who have no money. Maybe they can rack up huge fines and then sell their debt to investors like banks do and become rich.

Many US cities have already made it "illegal" to be homeless in their cities.

More Cities Are Basically Making It Illegal To Be Homeless

Some have even made it "illegal" to feed the hungry homeless people in their cities.

In 33 U.S. Cities, It’s Illegal to Do the One Thing That Helps the Homeless Most - Mic

I say shame on them!
You have got to be kidding me!!!!! So it's fine the homeless of your own land and bring refugees in and help them. How sick is that? I'm not saying one or the other but if you can help one group up and going you can get your own group up and going again. Sick sick government. Big Shame!

I havnt seen this news item but it is a typical govermental decision. I imagine it probably stems from local authorities rather than central goverment. The problem with your suggestion is that Tax Payers would foot the bill for these Prisons.
There are homeless hostels here mainly run by charities but there is not enough of them. Also there is a hard core of homeless who refuse to use them.

there is one of those homeless hostels here, thing is, it is filled with people who got out of jail for sex crimes. If I was homeless no way I would step foot in that place, the temptation to dish out street justice on the paedophiles there would be to great

Not during the Apocalypse (i.e. The Tribulation phase) but rather at Jesus' second coming.

Hmmm perhaps government is useless and an Anarcho-capitalistic free market could be used to build the homeless up instead of kicking our unwanted out of town?
