Snow Clearing
So, the Army are called out again to help the councils and government because they did not get right. Admittedly the conditions are a bit extreme but............
Why can't people on community service do snow clearing?
Discuss.

Personally, I'd have prisoners doing all sorts, all year round in Chain gangs. As it is they just sit in their cells playing on their Xbox or watching Dvd's.

Edinburgh council has had community service offenders out clearing city centre pavements for the last week. They are however doing a crap job of it and I have only seen 1 squad actually in operation !

But they finish with the refreshing news that ... " ... He also said the council's website contained advice on clearing snow and ice from pavements and footpaths. The spokesman also sought to clear up one misapprehension, adding: "Contrary to popular belief there is no law stopping members of the public from clearing snow and ice on the pavement outside their home or from public spaces but we would encourage members of the public to take the necessary precautions if they do so." ..."
Again, we need a law that mandates taking personal responsibility above all else. That is, in this case, you fall on your **** and hurt yourself, you've only yourself to blame!

Last winter when shops had sold out of salt/grit I asked the council if I could collect a couple of bucketfuls from their depot to sling around outside a couple of elderly neighbours' houses - not a chance
Most of the shops in our town/village can't be arsed to clear in front of their own front access. Miserable b,astards. dl

This suing mentality has simply gone well over the top. We never used to have that sort of attitude. So many people these days seem to be after the fast buck and it does not matter how they do it.
I suppose its the sort of attitude that stems from our leaders' example, especially when they are lying and cheating to claim enormous expenses which they are not entitled to, morally or otherwise!
Pity to see things go this way.
