Things that really cheese me off -Number One
People who say “Well, that's what spoils it for the rest of us.”
Apart from petulant, whinging, “It's not fair,” nonsense, what do you get from it? Makes you feel good, maybe, that you aren't one of those spoiling it for the rest of us? Makes you feel all avuncular and wise? Makes you think you are dispensing useful advice to those of us who disagree with you? Makes you feel good?
Yeah, well – all of that I guess but there's something you definitely don't get from it. You don't get anything done! You don't identify a problem. You don't come up with a solution.
So why do you do it?
John Thompson tells us that wild camping is to be banned around Loch Lomond. Immediately, “idiots spoiling it for the rest of us”. No research. No thought. Just, it's not fair.
Well, a little research shows it's drunken anti-social yobs and the no wild camping rule won't do anything about them whatever the idiot council thinks. It might cure the council's problem temporarily but the drunken yobs will still go somewhere and they'll come back when the heat dies down.
You, the whingers, and the council, stupid council led by stupid councillors, haven't done anything constructive. Stupid because they might not have the legal right to ban wild camping and they might not be able to enforce it because they might not have been given the power to overrule Parliament. All it might take, is one of us to defy them, challenge them, say, “You don't have this right, prosecute me.” and they might well be found wrong. Seventy Percent of the time, nationally, they are wrong. Already, one Scottish MP has accused this council of mis-using Bye-laws. And yet, we whinge. And when one of us does defy them, we'll say that person is “spoiling it for the rest of us.”
Comments, please?
