A UKIP councillor who came under fire for referring to homeless people in Portsmouth as "unwelcome detritus" has said he is "so pleased" with the reaction. Colin Galloway put forward a motion to the city council which said he wanted the police to help remove homeless people from the city. 91福利社less charity Crisis branded the comments "offensive and toxic". Mr Galloway said he was glad he had "got everybody's attention". Mr Galloway is calling for the council to write to the Police and Crime Commissioner Michael Lane asking for the police to take more of a role in removing homeless people from the streets. He said he wanted officers to "forcibly remove" people from the streets and take them to an assessment centre. Mr Lane previously described Mr Galloway's comments as "disgusting".
