That's probably an offence under the Terrorism Act...

I've been thinking about this poster, it must be awful to fall on
such hard times that you can't afford to pay for what you use.

I think everyone is missing my point. The OP is an immoral b.....d who
wants us to help him design a system to steal water from the rest of us.
It's the immorality that disgusts me, not the illegality.

I don't give a tinker's cuss for the legality or otherwise of his
proposal, it's the immorality of taking what the rest of us have to pay
for. What also disgusts me is that in this post-Thatcher, post-Blur,
post-Christian country of ours, this is considered acceptable. This is
a far more real, and insidious, threat to our freedoms than Islamic
Terrorism.

(and yes, I have a very nice life thank you, in Cumbria, where I have
loads of good friends who drop in through my ever-open front door
whenever they feel like it.)
