I can’t speak for this case, though the article highlights the public health risk to immunocompromised patients. But this is often far more complex than people make out.
Take for example a tent encampment outside a public building, that constantly has open drug use, or anti-social behaviour. It will be a council priority to engage with those living in the tents and to move them on.
Often they will be offered alternative accommodation. Often, the only reason they won’t be, will be because they have a record of ASB in social housing or refusing to pay what are very reduced rents.
It’s difficult and upsetting to see peoples’ tents removed especially in winter. But this probably isn’t a simple case of evil council staff.
Well I for one can’t think of any reason why any easily-led hard-of-thinking knuckledragger might possibly feel emboldened to commit such a horrible act.
I mean it’s not as if, for instance, any deeply unpleasant despot in a position of power or influence has made any statements about homeless people and tents or anything is it?
Completely and utterly shameful from Camden council.
