I think Matt Richardson is having a little fun with the PLD crowd. He asks;
I have TV licencing on me. I haven't owned a television in fifteen years. When they arrive at my door I'm intending on asking them if I have a contract with them, and if not, good day. Any thoughts?
Queue a blizzard of no contract - tell 'em nowt - fuck off yadda yadda.
Of course, if you don't have a telly then you don't need a TV licence, simple really. But I guess some folk just live for the joy of confrontation and hassle.
Meanwhile the Barons have gone all 'treasonous' on our bold rebels, some of them failing to answer their declarations or not signing for mail.
There is some confusion as to what constitutes the PLD concept of good service;
De Leon Marqaux said They accepting the letter by signing it , they dont know what is inside. As delievered-its acceptance by law,but as they dont open the letter before signing it delivery, they really not accepting.if theyd returned accepting letter-this would be accepting. As i believe, any opinions?
So its not good service if they don't open the letter but it is good if it is returned. How would you even know the letter had been opened? Glad you cleared that up for me.
I'm thinking that the Barons who in 2001 wrote their letter and planted the seed are getting on a bit now. It hasn't really dawned on any of the PLD'ers that none are actively climbing the barricades with them, bothering to return their mail, encouraging, directing and offering them their unconditional suport. One exception being crusty old Baron Craigmyle who hand-wrote some platitudes which left the gang (and, it must be said, myself) nonplussed and non the wiser.
A safe bet will be that all the Barons will be up to date with their CT and TV licences - even the dead ones.
Of course, you could just ignore the Barons altogether and commit UDI as a certain fearless Celt shows;
Barry Cochrane I tore up my oath to the barons as I don't need to swear an oath to the barons to stand under LR. As the barons are not standing beside us or supporting us I won't swear an alligence with any of them.
If one or all of the barons come forward and igknolege us or publicly support our movement then my stance will change and I will send another oath to them but until then I have my hounorable thing to do and that's to LR but I won't support anyone who won't support me
At least Dreary Dave has some consistency to his delusions; Barry demonstrates that a little "igknolege" is indeed a dangerous thing.
