Was aber brauchen wir um inskünftig weniger solche Dummheiten zu erleben? Vielleicht brauchen wir ein Mittel gegen die Arroganz der Macht – wo das erhältlich ist, das weiss ich auch nicht.

It was hard cheese (fl avour) for a grandmother from Crawley, fi ned £80 by jobsworth council wardens after kicking a couple of Quaver crisps into the gutter, spilled by her twenty-month-old granddaughter.
Salty stasi pounced on Barbara Judd at a bus stop after spotting the crisp-wielding toddler with her blatantly incite the granny to fl out the controversial clause in the SOCPA laws which forbids kicking more than one potato or corn snack at a time.
As it was a wet day the crispy threat had already started to disintegrate by the time the Fried Food arm of Special Branch turned up (AKA the Smokey Bacon).
“I couldn’t believe it,” said Barbara, who’s refused to pay the fi ne, “They wrote down
‘kicking two crisps’ as the offence.”
When it came to the crunch a Crawley Borough Council spokeswoman said: “We’ve cancelled the fine and apologised to the family for being over-zealous.”
