Conversations on the radio this morning around fuel debt being written off for the vulnerable and the cost being pushed on to other customers. That will be standing charge rising once cost of fuel decreases.

No humanity in that weasel. I have always wondered what sort of person would be a bailiff. Invariably they'll be enforcing the collection of debts and fines from the most vulnerable members of society more often than not.
Had to work with quite a few bailiffs. Weirdly some were quite sound, especially county court ones as they don’t work to a commission and often helped people complete forms.
Some absolute wrong ins though.
I`ve worked with bailiffs too, on the legal side of things.
As you say, `I`ve met some real sound and principled bailiffs, a lot of whom, were ex forces, ex police etc, who really went out of their way to help people, with things like getting people sorted with help, for things like rent debt payment plans, general debt re payment plans, putting them in touch with groups / charities who could help them etc.
From my own experiences, the younger ones, with less life experience, tended to be the ones that lived up to the " bad " bailiff stereotype.
What a lot of people don`t realise or know, is that debts in a lot of cases is " sold on " if it becomes too difficult or costly to collect.
The companies that " buy " these debts are the bottom feeders and are only driven by money / profit, with no care or thought for the people on the receiving end.

Making a real Hunt of himself, that should be the final nail in the Conservative coffin they've built themselves.

I've got a horrible feeling the ID cards is going to become a factor.
Hopefully I’m just being paranoid.
How difficult to destroy when I've decided to take a small boat to Europe?
Do as you like, Sir. But you ain't voting at the next election without one.
Haven't we just had that situation to crown truss as malcontent in chief... ?
