Homelessness charity Crisis are calling on the government to scrap the 195-year-old Vagrancy Act which criminalises being homeless. - Jeremy Corbyn has said that the next The Labour Party government will repeal the act whilst the current Conservatives government have only gone as far as committing to "review" it. - I couldn't find many opinions from people directly affected by the act. Hopeful Traders is meant to be a platform for the voices of marginalised people and I w...ould love to hear and share any opinions or experiences that people have had, if they are happy to do so. - Head to Crisis link in bio to find out more and show your support for scrapping the vagrancy act.
