IF John Price, whose intentions were noble (to stop or reduce flooding) is put into prison for so little, then all elected politicians (especially the ecologists) and lawmakers of all stripes in the UK should be sent to join him as what they do not correct is worse.

The little guy is always screwed by the law and the big institutions (who should know better) always not brought to account.

Sewage in our rivers and seas, “smart” motorways which turn out to be very dangerous, etc, etc.

Need I say more?
