Remove Posters in Gloucester City Centre demonising Homelessness
We are absolutely disgusted by these posters and the Tories should be ashamed they have allowed them to go up. Clearly the nasty party is alive and kicking In Gloucester. The posters imply that most homeless people are not genuine but trying to con people out of money. This is shameful and effectively demonizes one of the most vulnerable groups of people in our society who need our kindness and care. We call upon Gloucester City Council to immediately withdraw these posters.
Why is this important?
We are fully supportive of the initiatives that are in place to help homeless people and would welcome these being publicised in a positive way so that the public are aware as to what they can do to help the homeless. However these posters do little more than attack the individual liberty of city residents and demonise one of the most vulnerable groups in our city.
Streetlink is an important organisation but its advertised in small print at the bottom of the page. The current campaign is based on negativity and not the right way to go about things.
