A photo of “anti-homeless spikes” is causing quite a sensation in the U.K. Nearly everyone who views the photo calls the spikes “inhumane” — the more compassionate, apparently, would have the homeless sleep on nothing but the smoothest concrete.

@Fanxxxxtastic @digit_alis Christ, that's what they do to get rid of vermin. Spike buildings etc to stop pigeons roosting. Barbaric.
