Stop the #UK #fines racket

Volunteer in #Nottingham #fined for leaving 1 kale leaf in shopping #trolley

She was fined by #privatised enforcement agent contracted by #council, who was incentivised to issue as many fines as possible

- This shouldn’t happen any more

New #Defra guidance clearly bans ‘pay per #fine’ incentivised #punishment

But #councils are so far ignoring this guidance, which has not been publicised

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

Infinite punishment is infinite cruelty, endless injustice, immortal meanness. To worship an eternal gaoler hardens, debases, and pollutes even the vilest soul. While there is one sad and breaking heart in the universe, no good being can be perfectly happy.

Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, freethinker, orator
Lecture (1881-05-01) “The Great Infidels,” Booth’s Theater, New York

A quotation from Twain

Custom is custom; it is built of brass, boiler iron, granite; facts, reasonings, arguments have no more effect upon it than the idle winds have upon Gibraltar.

Mark Twain (1835-1910) American writer [pseud. of Samuel Clemens]
Essay (1906), “The Gorky Incident,” Letters from the Earth (c. 1909; pub. 1962) [ed. DeVoto (1939)]

A quotation from Twain

Customs do not concern themselves with right or wrong or reason. But they have to be obeyed; one may reason all around them until he is tired, but he must not transgress them, it is sternly forbidden.

A quotation from Mark Twain

Laws are coldly reasoned out and established upon what the lawmakers believe to be a basis of right. But customs are not. Customs are not enacted, they grow gradually up, imperceptibly and unconsciously, like an oak from its seed. In the fullness of their strength they can stand up straight in front of a world of argument and reasoning and yield not an inch.

A quotation from Twain

Laws are sand, customs are rock. Laws can be evaded and punishment escaped, but an openly transgressed custom brings sure punishment. The penalty may be unfair, unrighteous, illogical, and a cruelty; no mater, it will be inflicted, just the same.

Should the Links website put a blockade (boycott) on the US🇺🇸 regime as a punishment and visibility action for the alleged IMO organized murder attempt, abduction and torture of Czech citizen Martin Pavlata IMO by the US regime via the ICE organization?

https://blisty.cz/art/131557-nejezdete-do-usa.html

Soft blockade - skippable, symbolic boycott
Hard blockade - cannot be skipped, requires a VPN to bypass this boycott

This is meant just as a blockade on the Links website itself, no change to the Links program and is likely to be more symbolic than have a practical effect, because I assume most installations are done via package manager of the OS.

Please consider the fact that roughly 50% US voters voted for Trump.

A quotation from Euripides

NURSE:                             But not long
   Can the extremes of grandeur ever last;
   And heavier are the curses which it brings
   When Fortune visits us in all her wrath.
 
[ΤΡΟΦΌΣ:           Τὰ δ᾽ ὑπερβάλλοντ᾽
   οὐδένα καιρὸν δύναται θνητοῖς,
   μείζους δ᾽ ἄτας, ὅταν ὀργισθῇ
   δαίμων οἴκοις, ἀπέδωκεν.]

Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
Medea [Μήδεια], l. 127ff (431 BC) [tr. Wodhull (1782)]

A person who has been punished is not thereby simply less inclined to behave in a given way; at best, he learns how to avoid punishment.
