And they have cancelled the debt!

South Northamptonshire District Council announced on Friday that it would "remit the debt" on his release.

The mind fucking boggles. They have spent more money on trying to strongarm an old man than they would ever have collected from him.

Fair play to him, he only ever wanted to pay a lower amount in line with his pension rise and stuck to his guns. What a shame more people don't tell them to provide a reasonable service at a reasonable price, we might get better services and less corruption that way.

But they ahve to do this, otherwise we'd all do it.

Which is an idea, actually. They can't imprison us all.

I should bloody hope that he gets his fines lodged too.

Because that is what the law says they must do.

Not so. They spent that money to strongarm you and I, not him.

Yes, it's very important that pieces of paper are obeyed, isn't it?

What about the proof of claim, standing etc that they ignored to take him to court in the first place?

Fair point. Except I don't pay it.
