arrested for trying to cut down a tree in case it may be offensive to Muslims
or other religious groups not consulted in the felling license. He is also
fined a £100 as his chainsaw is in breach of Health and Safety legislation as
it deemed too dangerous and could cut something. He has used the chainsaw for
over 20 years without incident however he does not have the correct certificate
of competence and is therefore considered to be a recidivist and habitual
criminal. His DNA is sampled and his details circulated throughout all
government agencies. He protests and is taken to court and fined another £100
because he is such an easy target. When he is released he returns to find
Gypsies have cut down half his wood to build a camp on his land. He tries to throw them off but is arrested,
prosecuted for harassing an ethnic minority, imprisoned and fined a further
£100. While he is in jail the Gypsies cut down the rest of his wood and sell it
on the black market for £100 cash. They
also have a leaving BBQ of squirrel and pheasant and depart leaving behind
several tonnes of rubbish and asbestos sheeting. The forester on release is
warned that failure to clear the fly tipped rubbish immediately at his own cost
is an offence. He complains and is arrested for environmental pollution, breach
of the peace and invoiced £12,000 plus VAT for safe disposal costs by a
regulated government contractor.
How many times is the logger going to have to be arrested and fined
before he realises that he is never going to make £20 profit by hard work,
give up, sign onto the dole and live off the state for the rest of his life?
can’t get a loan to buy a new lorry because his bank has spent all his and
their money on a derivative of securitised debt related to sub- prime mortgages
in Alabama and lost the lot with only some government money left to pay a few
million pound bonuses to their senior directors and the traders who made the
biggest losses. The logger struggles to pay the £1,200 road tax on his old
lorry however, as it was built in the
1970s it no longer meets the emissions regulations and he is forced to scrap
it. Some Bulgarian loggers buy the lorry from the scrap merchant and put it
back on the roa d. They undercut everyone on price for haulage and send their
cash back home, while claiming unemployment for themselves and their relatives.
If questioned they speak no English and it is easier to deport them at the governments
expense. Following their holiday back home they return to the UK with different
names and fresh girls and start again. The logger protests, is accused of being
a bigoted racist and as his name is on the side of his old lorry he is forced
to pay £1,500 registration fees as a gang master. The Government borrows more money to pay more
to the bankers as bonus’s are not cheap. The parliamentarians feel they are
missing out and claim the difference on expenses and allowances. You do the
maths.

Pretty Humorous. I think it would be even funnier if it didnt contain so many truths.
