Asbo bans man from sleeping rough in Hull city centre
A man has been banned from sleeping rough in Hull city centre.
Christopher Thomas, 37, of Marfleet Lane, east Hull, has been given an antisocial behaviour order.

Humberside Police applied for the order after persistent complaints from businesses that Thomas was sleeping in doorways, particularly around the Marina.
PC Alan Cowley said: "He is one of a group of three men who we have had lots of complaints about.

"They sleep in doorways of businesses, drink alcohol and leave lots of rubbish around.
"They then become abusive and aggressive when they are asked to move on when people arrive for work.
"Hopefully, this order will improve the quality of life for those people."
Thomas could face jail if he breaches the two-year order, which bans him from loitering in the doorway of any business, entering any unoccupied buildings, or sleeping in the street.
The two other men have been given interim Asbos.

“The police are not likely to get any credit for doing something like this, a vulnerable easy target! This is so wrong...”

“Humberside Police need to start arresting real criminals instead of dishing out ineffective ASBO's”

“Oh wow an ASBO. What practical use is that? Another Blairite hair brained scheme to give the illusion something is happening when in fact it's not. These people need help, and as others have said we British are now shoved aside in our own country by tides of unwanted immigrants who get preferential treatment in ALL walks of life - housing, benefits, . Even the hostels have had to reserve beds for 'asylum seekers' (p*ss takers) - otherwise they will be 'racist' or other schoolboy tosh...
These people might as well commit real crime and get banged up nice and warm among all the kosovans and other unwanted scum in clink dodging deportation (ha ha they'll be back on the next tide)
Well done Blair and New Labour for destroying our country... (and Clegg, Cameron & Co) - all useless...”

“So what should he do! Sleep on the sea!!!! This Order beggars belief!! You can' have a flat because other cultures need them. It's ok if you die, but not to sleep rough!!!! Disgusting!”

“The man can't even sleep rough now and threatening him with prison! Even burglars escape being sent there from time to time.
Suppose if he was a foreigner he would be entitled to a flat. The authorities should be working with him not against him.”

“What good will an ASBO do. Its obvious the guys brains have been scrambled, and by tonight he will have forgotten all about being banned.”
