The DPS of the venue then ordered her to leave (apparently she had already had a warning for threatening another woman in the toilets).

Yup, being forced to sell off council houses at a discount is costing the taxpayer a fortune.
Many of these ex council houses are now being let out in the private rented sector, at a much higher cost to the Housing Benefit bill.
Also, when no social housing is available for those that the council has a legal duty to rehouse, they get put into bed & breakfast accomodation. This costs hundreds of pounds a week. Total madness due to political ideology.
