19 May (Part 2) - Fight fire with fire
On Friday 8th May I gave a disabled lady a lift and parked
where there were no road markings or signs using her Blue Badge. It
ended my 63 years of penalty free driving.
This morning I paid the exorbitant £70 and may not be so keen to do favours for old ladies any more. I
simply do not have the time to contest it although I probably should have done.
Next time the parking manager appears before a Scrutiny meeting I suspect there will be a harsh analysis.
As already stated I have
completely abandoned recycling since getting that PCN
as a low level retaliation. I expected to get some kick-back for
doing so but there has been none. Instead there was encouragement. “You have
to fight fire with fire.” It is a mixed blessing. Chucking dirty tins away
is strangely satisfying but conversely I have a large quantity of thick card to
cut up and put in a black sack.
What I don’t think I have said before is that I have submitted a Freedom of
Information request on every day since. All reasonable ones that should prove
interesting when published here. If everyone reacted
against Councils that hate us there may be some hope of ending the tyranny
which is overwhelming the country.
