Campaigners: 'Homeless people are not pigeons'

Tesco had tried to distract from the issues here now they have been forced to back down. Thousands of people have made their feelings known online and this should be a message to any other company thinking of using anti-homeless spikes.

The campaign to remove all the anti-homeless spikes from everywhere they have been put in continues. We don't want to live in a society where public space is covered in spikes. Homeless people are not pigeons.

Instead of leaving people homeless they should be housed in one of the 700,000 homes currently lying empty in Britain. Homeless people need homes not spikes.

– Bianca Todd, 'Left Unity'
