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

Due to the US's increasing criminalisation of dissent, I've decided to shift this blog to being entirely about Buddhism and comparative religions and cultures, in which I have a BA and about 40 years of experience. This blog's archives have been updated accordingly.

A quotation from Joseph Addison

CATO: Forbear, Sempronius! — see they suffer death,
   But in their deaths remember they are men.
   Strain not the laws to make their tortures grievous.

Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
Cato, Act 3, sc. 5, l. 60ff (1713)

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)]

This #athlete faces a #ban for using ‘the worst’ #antigay #slur – but for how long?

It's another #AFL #homophobia incident. #PortAdelaide’s #JeremyFinlayson has #apologized but #opinions differ over the #punishment he should get.
