A Doug Classic - historical

This from Doug in 1997

Start
Newsgroups: soc.culture.british, uk.legal, misc.legal
From: p...@noid.demon.co.uk (Doug)
Date: 1997/05/11
Subject: Why can I be fined by a privatised industry?

So I get my sprinkler out in defiance of my local monopolistic water
company's edict and become liable a 1k quid fine. How can this be? Since
when were privatised profit making corporations empowered to act as law
enforcers?

It is a bloody liberty if you ask me and contrary to the true spirit of
democracy.
End

It's difficult to know where to start. In one short post he demonstrates his
arrogance, hypocrisy and general contempt for his fellow man to a truly
staggering degree.

Happy to oblige, Peter. It's someone who coincidentally shares a lot of
Duhg's interests.

What has this stupid little rant got to do with the original post in
this thread?

You're presumably claiming that Duhg is in the "majority camp" about
global warming and green taxes.

First, this thread has NOTHING to do with global warming or green taxes,
numbnuts! And second, politicians are already back-pedalling on the
green taxes front in the face of growing public opposition, as reflected
in the scrapping of the £25 C-charge, do keep up.

Well seeing as no one apart from you here agree with him, that makes him a
minority here. I haven't fully canvassed my friends, but as they're all
petrolheads, meat eaters and not cyclists, I expect they don't agree with
him either.

Therefore he's in the minority.

I am glad that you expect insults after you have called everybody tossers.
