IIRC, newly fitted meters are not removed but you can revert back to old payment methods within 12 months?

Yep, but the acceptable higher version?

No need, all carried out under the name of education of the masses?

Not really hit the fan yet maybe? It amazes how many still vote for extra local layers of garbage?

Possibly most didn't want the vote?

👍

A non runner, impossible to trace those who embrace not being traced?

Seriously, gun owners are always blamed at some level, seemingly opportunities never missed? Possibly, the catty club?

Just the way of it I'm afraid, they don't have ant money so want ours? Government pathway.

Yep no doubt more than the average pleb will ever see?

The hilarity maybe lies on her side, in the years of an MP's salary and expenses?

Not surprised, I was able to get mine same day.

Lucky you.

Maybe just an illustration of importance? Your situation sadly being of no importance?

My view, may be some what jaded is that view is applicable to all politicos? Personally not sure his joining was good for Reform?

Nope. The end result is always the same.

That has lived very well.

Could be the bountiful side of democracy for some, lots of participants making fortunes at the expense of the general population?

Brilliant, that's where I go.

And those silly swinging dice?

I had one once grab a golf ball and make off.

Mm in general conversation it's now difficult to find any optimism for the future at election time? Mostly the default scenario now is to try to vote for the mob who may do your personal circumstances the least damage? As they all seem to be programmed to lie there's not much enthusiasm left for the ballot box?

Sadly you seem absolutely correct? Two different cultures? America, land of the free (including it's problems?) where freedom largely, is sought and admired and has space to be achieved? Here, land of the repressed, where every opportunity seems to be taken to remove freedom and restrict all things where ever possible to ensure the compliance of the population through mainly economic means due to a looming lack of space? Difficult to decide sometimes how this is achieved through either idiocy or compulsion?
