Watched several reports on the news yesterday about the furore that these 'spikes ' are causing by not allowing homeless people to sleep comfortably in doorways.

Countless people saying it was wrong , treating them like pigeons etc.  eeek:

I couldn't quite get my head around it .....of course you don't want them on your fecking doorstep and if you can't shoot them them spearing them is the next best thing !!!!!!

If it was my doorstep they slept on I'd have them

But it's all treating symptoms and not root causes, like wearing gum boots to stop the tide coming in.

Indeed...

The answer to anybody that thinks it is unfair is to get them to put a mattress on their doorstep...

When I saw the article on the news, my first thought was that the spikes did not look sharp enough.  noooo:
