were supposed to live in a fair and classless society,
so why is it, laws have been put in place, where if one drops litter, one can be given an on the spot fine, of £50-£80, depending on where you live.
surely it would have been better to introduce a system, where you are docked say 5-15%, of your net income depending on the nature of the environ-crime you commit, £80 to someone on tax credits is outragous, £80 to someone on high incomes, i.e. national average & above £28,000 p/yr is a drop in the ocean. we all dump rubbish, be it intentional or not, but unfair fines are just a way of hurting those who can least afford it, same applies to other on the spot fines....do you agree with the sentiment and why ?
