Highland Hospitality For The Homeless.
The Highland Council, in the interests of equality for all and discrimination against no-one, have come up with a plan to make sure that everyone in the Highlands, not just tourists and householders, are ripped off, fleeced and robbed on an equal basis.
The poorest and most desperate individuals and families in the Highlands, the homeless, are often housed on a temporary basis in bed and breakfast establishments, because the council do not have enough furnished homeless accommodation or hostels available.
They are now to be charged for heating, lighting and breakfast during their stay in B&B.
Well done. Local democracy in creative thinking mode. Rob the poor instead of improving their situation.
Fleecing the homeless could create more local authority money for really useful things, like replacing all the road signs in the Highlands with bilingual ones in English and Gaelic for the three people up here who can actually read Gaelic.

Surely, If they had money they wouldn't be homeless.
So, How the f***k are they going to pay for it?
This world is going stark, staring mad.

It defies logic, Kats, but for Highland councillors probably one of their most intelligent decisions - hitting those with least voting power and least influence.
Self-interest is a powerful logic.
