funny that (pardon the pun) but i believe that all the comedians that have made a living from it would beg to differ with you on that point :tongueout |

actually no i'm not a russel brand fan (if you had read my post in the favourite comedy decade thread then this would be obvious) as for being malicious, i'm afraid you know me not i merely point out that the idea of a national conspiracy theory pertaining to the unlawful issuance of a parking fine is a tad extreme. i can also name several classic comedians who have made a living from the ridicule of people (celebrities/races/class etc. or is the stereotyping of characters not a form of ridicule, you broody sirry irriot, why you not risten) |

I have watched a few videos they have produced and read about them on the web, but I don't claim to be an expert on what they advocate. A parking fine (and such like) is 'revenue collection for the (limited)company' and not 'law enforcement' since the principles of Common Law have not been breached. The movement appears to challenge such revenue collection by police officers who used to be policemen/policewomen. It is best not to ridicule something you don't understand, and the subject needs to looked at in depth. Some of the things the movement stands for do seem to have some credibility |
Re: Common Law
But I am not ridiculing it. I am simply asking a civil question about parking on double yellow lines which causes problems on the street I mentioned. You have not answered my question, Margaret.

...who decided that yellow lines were appropriate? maybe some unelected employee of the council gets permission from an unelected magistrate ...what 'crime' is prevented by the yellow lines? parking isn't a 'common law' crime if no-one suffers harm. ...who gains by them being there? the revenue is forwarded to the limited company who are employing those collecting officers. PS I find it confusing too ;) |
Re: Common Law
The purpose of yellow lines is to allow the free movement of traffic so that everyone can go about their business. If we had a free for all about parking then there would be chaos. The street I mentioned is not policed. If it were, I suspect parking tickets would be issued. Would this be wrong? Would it not act as a deterrent to illegal parking? If the existing system is wrong then what alternatives and solutions would you suggest?

All I am trying to explain to you is that the 'Freeman on the Land' movement challenges the collection of revenue via statute, and claims that those statutes have been illegally imposed/enforced. |

with this i agree, however short of overthrowing the government there is pretty much nothing we can do about it! |
Re: Common Law
Which is why I asked Kenny in the first place. It's all very well for him to try and make his point, but he should also be able to provide alternatives and solutions to ensure that illegal parking does not prevent others, including the emergency services, going about their business.

I just can't find these ltd companies you posted as being what you say they are. A couple had a similar name but was not what you said. Another was a credit union owned by LCC which I would expect to be a ltd company. |
