I know breaking the law is not the way we all would like to behave. When the law is an 'ass' we are left with little alternative.
From experience the alternative to the heavy is suffering the loss of rent.
The PTB do take up to a year and sometimes more to act on your behalf. In the meantime you pay the PTB plus utilities and suffer any damage to the property.
I know I am that soldier.
Perhaps in the current National situation and the crisis in which we find ourselves we will begin to make laws that benefit the offended not the offender.
It is amazing that the good samaritan who helps a person in difficulty could be charged with an offence. No wonder our morals are being twisted, we dont know right from wrong. I understand that there is some change being enacted there. It will be most welcome.
Volunteering in society has suffered. As a result, all good deeds must be paid for by the tax payer. Many of our citizens think they have no obligation to do the good deed everything must be paid for. How do we put a value on helping a person in need.
We must return to old values. Value the human being and be a good citizen and neighbour. There are huge rewards.
Imagine some citizens being told they could not grit or salt the roads during the recent snow, when their local council could not provide the service.
When we lose concern for the vulnerable, like the old and young, society is close to breaking down. We must revert to old fashioned values we have lost so much.
I read that in Japan they care for their older people beautifully, all their needs are fully met, no expense spared. To do this, with maximum financially efficiency, they are put on a remote island to live out their lives. When does my time come.
I never intended being so long winded, did not know I was so cross. Perhaps this recession might bring us to our sences and we will have come full circle. Browtal
