Homeless people CRIES OUT in Scotland pushed out to make room for Taylor Swift fans attending her Eras Tour
Homeless people in Edinburgh, Scotland, are reportedly being pushed out of the city in order to make room for the massive influx of tourists expected to travel there for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in June.
Shelter Scotland informed the BBC Wednesday that several homeless people the charity supports were moved via taxi to Glasgow, Aberdeen and Newcastle to free up accommodations. The latter cities are more than two hours away from their original stays in Edinburgh.
Homeless people who reportedly were offered temporary housing at hotels were moved out because there was a “severe shortage in accommodation caused by the concert.”
Shelter Scotland called it “a blatant injustice” for those affected to be “in direct competition” with tourists.
