That’s not what the quote you posted says, it says it tackles that two things, not that it makes them illegal.
It does mention some things that are to be made criminal offences right before this bit though, to trick people into posting such headlines, I suspect.
This whole thing sucks anyway, but I think we could use some clarity on exactly what will be made illegal?
Oh I think you’re right actually – it looks like from the PDF that they will be issued notices

Still, this is the UK, so I claim “slippery slope”.
🙄 or like, you could admit you were wrong, remove the propaganda, and not resort to your head cannon 🤷♂️
Seems extremely reasonable for dealing with aggressive homeless individuals.
“aggressive homeless individuals”
There it is.
There’s the problem.
You’re assuming this will be used when needed, and not used in excess, trampling down people who are already underfoot.
All cops are bastards, no exceptions for location.
If they CAN abuse a law, they WILL abuse it. At every opportunity.
I know. There are issues with the police, so now we can’t have laws on the books either. Despite circumstances many homeless don’t take no for an answer and threaten people. There needs to be a law to detain those people. That’s regardless of the help they will or wont get or accept before or after.
