Where is the problem? If you don't want to be clamped don't leave your
car lying about on other people's property where it is not wanted.
"Cowboy clampers have been given a 'licence to print money' because of
failures by the Government, the AA warned last night.
An estimated 520,000 motorists had their cars clamped on private land
in Britain last year and are believed to have paid more than
£770million in fines to clampers.
According to the AA, an estimated 20,000 cars are towed away every
year..."

Lay it on the line Doug. Are you able to produce that report into my house
move or do you accept that you were talking bollocks?

bikes on the pavement. can't move for the bloody things in the city
center.
cyclists should be forced to use folding bikes within the city limits
or have a permit stating they have off pavement parking for the damn
things.

The problem in some areas is that clampers have taken care to lay traps
for motorists in order to increase their revenue. Such examples include
the removal of "private road" warnings from private roads and a
re-drawing of kerbside and road markings to make it appear that the road
is not subject to parking restrictions.
In other areas cowboy clampers refuse to acknowledge disabled permit
holders and have clamped vehicles loading/unloading and even ambulances,
post vans and police vehicles.

Serves them right, they should be using handcarts.

Well, the problem is that if they are rogues and cowboys then there is no
place for them being in a position to deal with the general public.
But obviously it is *exactly* the type of control by intimidation that a
Stalinist monomaniac such as yourself would approve of.

Isn't apparent to all that one of the biggest single problems with
cars is their storage when not in use?
