Man cuts car in half to spite petty bureaucrats
The unspoken motto of our political leaders, locally and nationally, and irrespective of party allegiances, could be said to be ‘fleece not protect’. One man in Gloucestershire had a novel response to his car, legally registered off the road and parked in his garden, being clamped for extending a mere few inches—less than a wheel length—onto the public road. The car was due to be scrapped, so he took an angle-grinder to it and cut it in half.
The car owner is reported as ‘glad to get one over’ on the enthusiastically punitive officials, describing them as ‘jobsworths’.
