A knee jerk reaction that will continue to be felt for decades to come. Only need to see the tent cities springing up where over a third need medical help because of a mental health crisis.

At the end of the day you can't force help onto somebody that thinks they're perfectly well.

Eventually urban centers will snap and laws banning public camping will start appearing. Arresting someone because they fell asleep outside isn't the solution to the problem. Just another expensive bandaid where more taxes will have to be diverted to an overcrowded prison system that will be filled with even more non-violent offenders.

One of these days a tech company might create an A. I. program like the Sibyl System where all you have to do is get a brain scan. Sanity Number not correct? Off you forcibly go to a psych-facility/prison. A joke of an idea, but honestly, with how weird the world is getting who knows what could be just around the corner.

This is the UK and not France or the US. We don't have tent cities. We do have chav cities though ... come join me on a safari through Grangetown and take pics of the local two-legged wildlife! If their on spice they stay nice and docile. Observe their natural habitat! A town centre bench! Here in the UK we don't need tents, the weather is so shit you just gotta get soggy and spiced and before you know it, the blue lights will take you to a cosy enclosure - with your very own mattress on the floor!

I'm not on spice btw, I've just been drinkig thatsh all hic
