Re: twenty first century britain
You may as well read this here before you read it in the national press or see it on the BBC.
Given the scale of London's problem - an estimated 450,000 kipping in sheds, under railway arches, in garages, etc, in the capital - Mayor Boris has agreed with a number of northern local authorities to share the burden. In return for 72 tickets for the Olympic 100 metres men's final (for councillors and partners), HBC will be taking 3,529 individuals to be dispersed throughout the borough. Many of these will be placed in allotment sheds (which goes towards explaining the rise in rents). All tenants will be expected to fully cooperate with the council and ensure their sub-tenants are well looked after with full consideration for their ethnic, cultural and religious needs. Most sheds will therefore have to be repositioned so that they point towards Mecca and be fully carpeted throughout (Axminster preferred). Naturally, no pigs will be allowed.
The formal announcement will be made this Friday, after HBC council prayers.
