Homeless people are being sent out of Scotland's capital to make room for Swifties
Homeless people in Edinburgh are being relocated to other cities to make room for Taylor Swift fans staying in the capital for her "Eras" tour shows.
You're viewing a single thread.
Could the things people do for the billionaire class get any more fucking insufferable and pathetic?
My dream would be for the homeless to organize and crash the show and completely fucking destroy it and turn it into anarchy.
Because that will get so much done and certainly won't cement people's ideas that the homeless are a nuisance not to be treated with respect...
I hope Taylor sees this and calls for housing to be made available. That is a much more positive thing to happen and may actually lead to change.
Housing is being made available.... far away from these people's hometowns.
Because the Swift fans apparently get priority on the local hotels while the people who actually fucking live in Scotland get shuffled the fuck around, some of them even being sent as far as England.
If she called for housing to be made available, it would mean upsetting a shitload of her fans who have already paid for hotel rooms. She isn't going to do that because that would mean she might get less money or less people at her show.
But that's the rub, these Swift fans don't somehow magically matter more than the local homeless just because they made a reservation six fucking months ago for an obscenely overpriced show.
No, Scotland should have automatically kicked out Swift attendees and made them go book a hotel a four fucking hour drive away. They certainly have the money (or are willing to piss away the money) to make that trip. Nooooo, uprooting homeless folks is waaaaay more important than making these chucklefucks spend a few more dimes on their shitty concert.
Take this civility politics and shove it. Millions have died waiting for civility to give a fuck. It's only "civil" when it's the rich kicking the poor to the curb and letting them die. When the poor fight back, they're "uncivil." Give me a fucking break with this shit.

No, Swifties matter more because they are willing to pay a obscenely more money for the hotel rooms than the homeless.
That'd be awesome, until the police shows up and shoots them.
