Ok what am i missing?

"The housing charity said it was “a blatant injustice” for homeless people to be “in direct competition” with tourists."

Moved to alternative accommodation so I don't really see the issue myself as they weren't just thrown out of the street?

"Edinburgh hotels booked to capacity" probably doesn't have the same headline appeal really.

Correct, however as pointed out those seeking accommodation are now being taken far and awide.

Amazed people think this isn’t an issue but hey ho.

They are being found accommodation. Are private businesses supposed to remain on stand-by in case they are needed to bail out the welfare system?

Homeless to be sent out of city to make room for Taylor Swift’s fanny.

Homeless people will be removed from Edinburgh to make way for Taylor Swift’s fanny, the BBC can reveal.

It is understood that up to 150 homeless will be relocated to somewhere else, ahead of the singer’s arrival for a concert, as a precautionary measure due the popularity of her lady garden in Internet searches.

Findus a Hoos, housing charity, has commented that it seems “utterly unreasonable, aye” for homeless people to be “in direct competition” with the genitals of a diminutive American pop star.

“We ken that the wee lassie’s bits ‘an bobs are the most searched oan the internet, aye. But it no seems faer tha they’ve goat tae haev a whole section ae the city thae selves.”

Edinburgh City Council said it was working with Ms Swift’s managing agent to establish whether her intimate regions have in reality assumed a sufficiently large persona that they require the relocation of the city’s entire homeless population.

Chief Executive of Edinburgh, Brian McDougall, has exclusively told the BBC that he has been extensively Googling for images of “Taylor Swift naked” to “satisfy himself” with regard to the magnitude of the challenge that city faces accommodating her front bottom.
