Metal spikes used to deter homeless people from sleeping outside buildings have provoked anger among Londoners.
People reacted furiously on Twitter after pictures emerged of the spikes outside a luxury apartment block in Southwark.
A petition calling on mayor Boris Johnson to have all anti-homeless spikes removed from London has already attracted more than 4,000 signatures since it was started at the weekend.
These Anti homeless studs are like the spikes they use to keep pigeons off buildings. The destitute now considered vermin.
