Given the poor state of the systems our society relies on, in the spirit of the nations shoplifters, just what can we (other than nabbing crap from shops) get away with?

Well, it seems that lots of shit is being dumped into rivers and seas illegally with no penalty. You could try that.

Ok, so fly tipping. I probably could get rid of a lot of crap from the spare room but there's not really much advantage in chucking it out in a ditch somewhere over taking it to the local recycling centre. But thanks Nobby for kicking off the discussion.

Nobby is referring to water companies having poo pipes that pipe poo into rivers when there's lots of rain.

And actual illegal discharges resulting in enforcement notices for the last 8 years but no actual penalties....

You could snag a £203 million PPE contract, via your mates in the cabinet. Don’t worry about not having any track record as a supplier because your company is only 5 minutes old, or actually providing the PPE, most of it can be unusable. No one’s going to check.

This will give you at least £100 million clear profit.

Then move that profit off-shore and treat yourself to a nice new yacht.

You’re welcome x

Seeing less and less of them now due to colder weather up here. They were fucking everywhere during the summer. Still see a load of scrotes on Surron's though.

Is it illegal to run over a scooter rider and then back up over them
to check if they're OK?

Traffic management is highly automated. 364 days out of 365 you'd be hard pressed to fall fowl of a traffic cop. Bikes can utilise such an advantage more than cars IMHO.

The other current one is make sure to tick all the diversity boxes on any job applications: black - check, lesbican - check, disabled - check. Hope to God they bring it up in a face-to-face interview and then you can go full-on "how very dare you!" Smile

You could drive around in a big red bus with a slogan implying you could give the NHS 350 million a week if we left the EU, then pretend that wasn’t what you meant in between attending assorted lockdown piss ups…

Trade crypto and skim a bit off the top, King29 can probably give you some helpful pointers...

You could steal a house?

You wait until someone who owns their own house (mortgage free) has gone on holiday, change the ownership of their house on the land registry, sell it on to someone and fuck off with the money. Best bit is, there's nothing they can do about it, they come back off holiday and someone else owns their house.

I would like to think that one could kill anybody wearing a balaclava when the temperature is above zero.

We've just had our bin collection moved out to 3 weeks! Can only fit 2 black bags in the tiny thing anyway. Of course council tax keeps going up.

Its the chocolate bar scenario. Pay more, get less.

Also, I get the pleasure of having to litter pick the street every bin day as they make an absolute mess.

3 weeks Shocked That's insane.

I thought our lot were taking the piss when they moved to coloured wheelie bins and only the black and green ones get emptied each wekk. The blue and red ones only get emptied on alternate weeks. Perhaps I should be grateful we've got that.

No consideration given to whether you're a singleton or a family of 10 either. More stupid decisions from the stupid people we have in power over us. Idiots.

find out where your local councillors live and start dumping your rubbish in their street/garden.
encourage friends and family to do likewise.

in Minecraft of course.
