Repeal the Vagrancy Act 1824
The Vagrancy Act of 1824 makes it an offence to sleep rough or beg.
It is a barbaric,archaic law that criminalises the very existence of those homeless forced to take to the streets of beg for survival.
Scotland & Ireland removed this outdated law decades ago-England and Wales must follow them.
Ending Homelessness is supported by all political Parties-yet still in the last few years,people have been arrested for blatantly trivial reasons,such as taking food,past it's sell-by-date from outside supermarkets.
This is a Humanitarian crisis,criminalising homeless people is a National disgrace.
