Well that will go down well with the Tory faithful.
Rough sleeping is a lifestyle choice.
And of course, she knows all about being homeless. Especially in the winter.
The Nasty Party in a nutshell.

Yes. But she is threatening any Charity which is compassionate enough to give a tent to a homeless person with large fines.
Sickening.
Everyone in the "our food is bland" and "English nationalism" thread is now an extremist
I feel the urge to organise mass tent buying for the homeless. Stupid bitch.
The most interesting thing is that dorries, the champion of the online bill she supposedly wanted to protect kids from predators, knew of someone with child porn and instead of saying anything, kept quiet until she could make money off it in her book.
Scum.
Well said. Horrible human being. Also another one that complains about the social welfare while employing her two daughters on the taxpayer’s expense.
Count me in with both comments.
WTF is this Cnut doing?
He needs people to applaud and cheer him and nobody here, apart from Nadine Dorries, will do it any more.
Johnson is making a fortune on the right wing US speaking network. Given he only makes decisions on the basis of his self interest (see campaigning for Vote Leave), this is a good opportunity for PR.
How about nobody uses it then, if it is so inflammatory to each side?
No it was on a dolphin

Switching to the Tories was a very lucrative career choice for him.
He's a long way from the politics of his mentors, Foot, Scargill & Benn that's for sure.
Snout firmly in the trough!
Well Scargill has his snout well in the trough these days so not so far from him!
Suella Braverman saying sleeping rough is a 'lifestyle choice'. Plans to bring in fines for charities who give out tents to homeless people.
What is going on in the uk now, this is so sad how things are changing. This cruelty and lack of humanity really needs to be stopped, can't continue. Turning in to a mix of of 1984 and children of men, Jesus.

It's a little thing but the reports that it'll be included in the King's speech made the news somehow worse. Our loyal servant King Charles telling the British people that homeless folk need kicked in the face a little bit more.
It's crazy how she's allowed to come out with such hateful rhetoric unchecked.
Sad slide into soft fascism in the UK.
add in her side comments about some of the rough sleepers being foreigners / not british.
but the right wing press lap up her comments..
Lee Anderson (whos deputy tory chairman) has often moaned about 'illegal' immigrants and the 'workshy' getting govt help ahead of the armed forces veterans forced to sleep on the streets. Here we have his home secretary basically trashing the vets, and does Lee come to their defence...of course he feckin doesnt, instead he likes and reposts the home secretaries comments on the matter.
its such an obvious hypocrisy and yet the media dont seem to want to run with it
It is amazing that Susan Hall has survived in politics for so long. 6 years in the London Assembly and she has nothing to show for it.
And keeping the tradition of each tory candidate being worse than the previous one alive, the only viable option for the next elections is Tony Devenish.
Absolutely nailed on.
Did anyone listen to King Charles reading out the King Speech today.
He couldn't have sounded any less enthusiastic if he tried.
It didn't take a genius to realise that he was totally unimpressed by the government legislation plans.

Hardly surprising given his past comments on political issues + I bet Billy and Kate have been bending his ear about the homeless tent thing
And he is quite correct about that.
People should not be banned from protesting. And I am sure that the vast majority will do so respectfully taking account of the Armistice Day tradition.
I have read that you have already been to many of these.
So will you be attending on Sunday. And if so, hopefully it passes without any adverse problems.
The Palestinian protest isn't even taking place on the Sunday (Remembrance Sunday). It's on Saturday and it's taking place a few hours after the 2 minute silence on the Saturday.
What we're seeing is the British government (and a few other factions) trying to whip up some nationalism, and using jingoistic tropes to make what have been largely peaceful protests into something a bit more fractious.
There's also been a few 'call to arms' from far right groups (EDL, and another one called 'Football Lads Alliance') to defend the cenotaph on the Sunday (again, there's no protest on the Sunday), but knowing their ilk, they'll turn up on the Saturday as well to provoke.
Edit: And yes, I'll most likely be attending (on the Saturday).

Thanks for clarifying that. I had been going by what the news media has been saying. Should know better.
Let's hope that those you mentioned don't achieve their stated aims and don't allow the government and police to turn a peaceful protest into something nasty.
@Buster15 - Here's some more info on the far right groups - the Met has identified the far right as being the main probable cause of any social disruption:
Far-right and football hooligans main risk of public disorder at pro-Palestinian march, police fear (inews.co.uk)

Thanks again.
To be honest, I find it sickening that these groups of people are trying to take advantage of the suffering that is going on in Gaza for their own ends.
But I am not at all surprised. So I really do hope that the protest on Saturday in aid of calling for a ceasefire and showing support for the Palestinians doesn't end badly.
Private WhatsApp leaks. Tories hate each other now
Braverman is making it too obvious now that she wants violence to erupt this weekend.
