The Network Rail jobsworths were in attendance as they obediently scuttled off immediately while I was arguing the toss on their behalf. After invoking some John Cleese Faulty Towers-esq index finger on the upper lip and a raised right arm, they called PC 49.<br /><br />After threatening me with 1986 Public Order Act "causing alarm and distress" I asked him to take me down the station for a word with his inspector. He was very reluctant.<br /><br />Asking to go to the station on the basis of shut up or charge me usually works.DaveAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07249090980650806030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-21334056154866520052010-01-30T22:56:20.459+00:002010-01-30T22:56:20.459+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.DaveAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07249090980650806030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-51818266613612507952010-01-30T13:42:37.537+00:002010-01-30T13:42:37.537+00:00An easy way of getting to the state

These days, the spectre of tribunals stacked hugely in favour of employees has made it almost impossible to sack anyone.

I did it a couple of years ago by letter in which I threatened legal action. Their reply, in which they backed down, included pages of information in an attempt to cover their backsides.<br /><br />People in LAs want a quiet life implementing rules which they haven't thought about. They hate people who make a nuisance of themselves and take the course of least resistance to get them off their back. If people would just refuse to be bullied, it would stop. <br /><br />JayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-70517528125025488602010-01-30T10:12:16.690+00:002010-01-30T10:12:16.690+00:00I agree with JuliaM.

So the consequences of any "little local difficulty" are minimal. The tap won't get turned off, money will still flow to all the local leeches.<br /><br />As well as dramtically cutting the range of activities these idiots are involved in down to a sensible core we need to return to local funding. Local income tax maybe? <br /><br />Then the connection wil be restored and you stand a chance of them listening when there's a problem.JohnRShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07021101596935644363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-75386199864062658022010-01-30T07:29:25.688+00:002010-01-30T07:29:25.688+00:00"...and with the threat of livelihoods being ...<i>"...and with the threat of livelihoods being curtailed, they acted instantly."</i> <br /><br />And <i>there's</i> where the rot started.
