Common in the UK - Well done Josephine Rooney

Well fuck me with PM Gordon Brown's gay cock!

I thought the days of common sense here in the UK were as dead as the Empire, as dead as the UK protecting it's citizens abroad(we have David Miliband/Milicunt in charge of that and he igores UK nationals in distress), but it would appear not...

She has twice been to prison in pursuit of her goal to force a council to clean up her once-elegant neighbourhood.

But yesterday council tax rebel Josephine Rooney's three-year battle ended in victory when her local authority announced it was writing off her near-£1,500 debt.

Derby City Council said it had abandoned hope of ever being paid by the bespectacled pensioner, who vowed to continue her campaign regardless.

Miss Rooney, 71, said: 'I can't back off. Standing up for the truth is what democracy is all about, and this has gone so far now that I just have to continue.'...

Miss Rooney appeared at Derby Magistrates Court again yesterday, accused of failing to clear her council tax debt for 2008-2009 - a figure of £744.64.

The council took the pensioner to court again after she refused to comply with an order to pay her 2008-2009 tax up front, issued because of her had payment record.

District Judge Caroline Goulborn - the same magistrate who jailed her earlier this year- imposed a liability order - demanding she settle her bill.

The council said yesterday that debt was not being written off and it would continue to seek payment. But council bailiffs have found nothing to seize whenever they have visited the pensioner's home - meaning the pensioner could eventually be jailed for a third time if the council sticks to its word.

Chris Williamson, who was Labour leader of the council until the Lib-Dems seized control at last month's local elections, condemned the decision.

Mr Williamson, who had repeatedly urged Miss Rooney to 'work with us', said: 'We did everything she asked. There is no reason for her not to pay.'

Tory leader Philip Hickson added: 'It is absolutely disgraceful. It sends the wrong message to the vast majority of people who pay their council tax.'.

Well Mr Williamson and Mr Hickson, if you pair of cunts, plus all the other elected cunts in power actually did your fucking jobs and got the plod out from behind their desks. That is on to the streets rather than sat down in front of the pc's in the station where they are busy playing solitaire.

Then maybe she would pay the monies owed.


I can by assume that by "work with us", you mean for her to pay and still have to deal with the anti-social feral fuckers running about on the street, whilst the council can then sit back and do fuck all as usual without being shown up as useless cunts as she has done.

Although the justice has actually delivered some justice, sadly our councils are still full of self serving shits, cunts and arseholes who want us to pay through the nose for piss poor services and bugger all police on the streets.
