After having his legally 'off the road' car clamped for allegedly being parked over the pavement, Ian Taylor brought power to the people, and to his car, by cutting it in half with an angle grinder.
He'd bought the car as a renovation project for him and his stepson, but after realising it was not an economical option, declared it 'off the road' and left it parked up on his drive until he could get rid of it.
Mr. Taylor was notably incensed by the clamping but pleased he got the supposed last laugh:
"[I'm] happy I got one over on them. They're jobsworths, for the sake of an inch and a half on the path."

Well done, they clamp your car, you saw it in half. I may miss the brutal irony.

You know, it starts with car parking, then it's over-full bins, and dropping an ice-cream. One day in Britain we'll be fined by officious council 'authorities' for bad language, standing on the wrong side of the escalator, or even failing to smile at their 'security' (i.e. fine) cameras.
It's going to be a very British police state.-

Number1Badboy - You can get fined on the spot by police for using foul language now...
Seriously. -
A clear case of cut n shut.
The clampers are allowed to be this mercinary by local authoirities who prioritise monetary gain over tax paying members of the poeple who live in the community.
