Yet again another moronic fine.

What can actually be done about this?

When you look at this the list is endless of stupid incidents…

  • Woman fined for pouring end of coffee down a drain before putting the cup in the bin
  • Elderly man fined for spitting out a leaf he inhaled whilst walking
  • Man fined for coughing
  • Fined for feeding pigeons bread when the pigeon has eaten it all

The list of these moronic incidents are endless and whilst yes they are isolated and unlucky.. x out of 70 million people who live here … it’s still absolutely ridiculous!

Surely there has to be recourse for these incidents and they need to stop this.

Well then nobody would be able to do 'compo face' and sell their stories to the Daily Mail etc.

I strongly suspect there is usually a hell of a lot more to these stories, to be honest.
