Cryotek, another attempted PCN / Council Tax Dodger

[AndyPandy]

Asks what is a Council, why aren't they registered on Companies House, that's because they're a department of Government you bozo !

Another one who'll manage to convert a £35 PCN into a £000 liability.

They just never learn !

He asks for advice, gets a reply from one of the few useful GOOFy posters, and responds with an illiterate rambling thick-as-pigshit lecture on imaginary legal principles :

"Its very simple (CRUDE EXAMPLE) It is a services that has been put in place by Peoples who have made the requested for free flowing traffic. So the Public Servant sets up ways to deter Peoples from parking in specified zones which low and behold is a SERVICE no matter how you paint it up."

It's going to be fun watching him dig himself into a big hole full of summons, bailiffs and costs.

Actually, once rewritten in standard English, that's a fairly accurate though CRUDE description of why parking controls exist. But it describes the SERVICE that is provided to the whole community, and funded by council tax to the extent that it isn't self-funding from chaarges and penalties. The SERVI CE only works because there is a penalty régime as allowed by law.

Indeed. But our cretinous commentator misrepresents enforcement of the penalty regime as a service provided to the infractor, and on a contractual basis with that infractor. That's like saying my cockroaches are the paying clients for the can of Raid I'm about to dump on them.

This is, as I recall, also the basis for another (equally cretinous, if not more so) sovrun theory running around in the U.S.: that the court's conviction and sentencing of a criminal is a service, which the defendant may decline at will. I can't remember who the primary promoter of that branch of the theory is, but I'm sure it's somewhere on here.

Westminster Council make more money from their parking department than they do from Council Tax. All councils that have de-regulated their parking (most if not all) have increased the amount of double yellow lines (DYL) exponentially since in the vain hope that you will pay for the privilege in one of their car parks.

Parking revenue - £80M from just the on street parking revenues (this does not include revenue form PCN's bus lanes etc)

Full acounts (not) notice that the parking revenue is NOT included in the 'full' report.

Go on GOODF's call me a government shill then ....
