LONDON — A mum and her sons who were angered by the installation of anti-homeless metal spikes have fought back with the perfect weapon — cushions.
Jennie Platt — from Manchester, UK — enlisted her sons George, 11, and Sam, 10, after reading about the installation of the anti-homeless spikes in their local newspaper.
Platt and her sons went to British store Primark on Sunday to buy cushions and pillows to cover the area affected by the spikes, outside Pall Mall Court in Manchester.
George and Sam recruited a few of their rugby teammates to help them in their efforts to build a welcoming space for homeless people
And, they didn’t stop there. They also bought sandwiches and chocolate bars and created a sign which read: “Take a seat and have a bite to eat”.
Anti-homeless spikes have been spotted in cities across the UK in recent years, and are used by companies to prevent homeless people sleeping in front of their properties. Read more…
