London mayor Boris Johnson has called for anti-homeless spikes outside a luxury block of London flats to be removed immediately, saying more doorways should be made available for the homeless to use as accommodation.
The mayor of London urged the owner of the private block of deluxe apartments to remove the inch-high metal studs, arguing that the homeless crisis in London could only be solved by making sure as many doorways as possible in the capital were comfortable enough for poor people to sleep in.
Mr Johnson’s intervention comes just weeks after the mayor’s office announced plans to solve London’s housing affordability crisis by making more park benches and wheelie bins across the capital affordable for first-time buyers hoping to get on the first rung of the property ladder.

The last paragraph says it all. Is Boris Johnson saying London should prepare for a massive explosion in its homeless population?

It kind of gives a new shade of meaning to the ministerial statement: “There is a spike in the figures of the homeless in Britain……” 🙂

If you are going to be homeless well at least choose a decent upmarket area of London to do it, such as Park Lane, Mayfair, or Belgravia…..

All Boris has to do is shut down the soup kitchens and food banks, and then when the homeless people are thin enough they can lie between the spikes…… problem solved!

If he really wanted to reduce the number of pricks in London, he could resign.

A great initiative by that Tory Johnson, sorry, I mean Mayor Johnson… (Gah! Can I even say his name without it sounding like slang for a “penis”). Anyway. Boris did promise affordable housing in London and by randomly saying stuff he’s finally hit on the answer – more comfy doorways. Perhaps this initiative could be combined with the new water cannons to clean out the doorways before those doorways are in use by the people who can afford the unaffordable house prices need to use them?
As an epitaph to our time here in London I believe those unfortunate enough to be homeless should sleep (in rotating shifts) on the fifth plinth in Trafalgar Square to show the world exactly what this government is all about. Makes you proud to be British (or whatever damn nationality the supreme leaders are)
(satire or truth, you choose but get a refund on your education if you can’t figure it out)
