We’re joking about tourism

THE EDITOR: I just don’t get it. We’re talking tourism and the capital city is in a faecal mess: vagrants are running wild, posing a threat to the safety of citizens – and visitors of course.

Making matters worse is that some vagrants are mentally unstable and armed. Are we really serious?

All this mayhem is going on because the authorities have a hands-off policy on vagrancy and the problem is growing. Is this fair to citizens who use the city? I think not.

Just last week Wednesday a vagrant had people running for safety on Frederick Street. I myself had to put some pep in my step.

We can’t be seriously talking tourism and the safety of citizens and visitors is under threat.

We’ve got to be joking.
