This article is typical journalistic hyperbole, it has more holes in it
that net curtains.


The only thing full of holes is the argument that the defendant put put up.
The bottom line is she will end up in prison with a far bigger bill than if
she had the sense to obey the law.

The thing that is full of holes is the legislature which speaks out of
both sides of its mouth, ably assisted by an army of public sector
jobsworths who are incapable of earning a proper living and spend
their time interfering in people's lives.

On the one hand, there is a whole lot of legislation mandating door
widths, electric fitting heights and accesses into public buildings
for the disabled.

On the other, we have nonsense like this where a disabled person is
fined for adapting her home in a reasonable way to remain independent.

The government inspector concerned should be ashamed and quite frankly
should be fired.
