After Gary Neville's kindhearted agreement to the homeless using his Stock Exchange building over the winter, reported on Sunday locally, nationally and globally, yesterday some MMU (Manchester Metropolitan University) students showed their support for the homeless too. They were preparing placards and banners at All Saints Park and shaming those executives at MMU who decided to bully and try and evict the homeless at the Ark, on a wasteland under Mancunian Way by MMU.
These positive actions will make those at Manchester City Council,, GM Police, MMU etc. who make such poor choices re: the treatment of the homeless camps look at things in a new, enlightened light hopefully.
I had a run in with some MMU security staff last Friday morning. About 20 of them were erecting yet more steel fences around the pavement trying to exclude the homeless. I urged them to show some compassion and to see the bigger picture... Maybe they too will be thinking differently today...
Taking part in Our World Tuesday.
Fingers crossed.
