This woman is almost cartoon level type of evil. Even for a Tory.

Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Why do people talk about her as if her word is law and she is acting as an individual?
She's the mouthpiece for the whole political party! Does anyone think she makes these statements without the statements reviewed and authorised? This is what the conservatives think and they're sounding a dog whistle for ultra conservatives. These "fringe" issues are going to be easy places for them to score points with their conservative base by stomping on communities they all hate (e.g. homeless, poor, marginalised, non-cis sexuality, immigrants, mental illness......all these things for them point to weakness in a person and disease in society that they want to eradicate).
Cruella Braverman
It definitely is for some people, but to punish those who genuinely need help because of the actions of a few well.. Actually that's pretty on brand for the tories
So is lynching.
Just saying.
I see, she's using the Kanye logic.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The home secretary, Suella Braverman, has described rough sleeping as a “lifestyle choice” while defending her decision to restrict the use of tents by homeless people on the streets of Britain.
According to Whitehall insiders, Braverman plans to crack down on tents that cause a nuisance in urban areas such as high streets – amid growing numbers of rough sleepers and what the government considers a rise in antisocial behaviour.
The home secretary has also proposed the introduction of a civil offence, which could lead to charities being fined if they provide homeless people with tents, the Financial Times reported.
There are options for people who don’t want to be sleeping rough, and the government is working with local authorities to strengthen wraparound support including treatment for those with drug and alcohol addiction.
“This combined with decades of government failure to build genuinely affordable social homes is what is driving record levels of homelessness and leaving thousands of people on the streets.
Braverman’s planned policies are being considered for the government’s legislative programme, which will be outlined in the king’s speech on Tuesday, people with knowledge of the proposals said, and could be included in two clauses to be inserted in a new criminal justice bill applying to England and Wales.
