Metal theft epitomises how completely inept UK government has become. Lead and copper has been stolen to feed the growing dragon, China. Labour seemed incapable of doing anything and for several years metal theft went on unabated, making the UK look foolish. The Tories took a couple of years to tackle this problem and it all just reflect how ponderous UK government is, over bloated and too full of its own self importance to tackle real problems. They were probably debating their next pension rise and how to get that past the unsuspecting UK populace whilst freezing our pensions! Well, they succeeded on that important issue. In the 4-5 years it took to even attempt to stop metal theft, I wonder how many tons have departed our shores?
To make it worse we have the UK Lawyers! Two men caught on a church roof couldn't be prosecuted for sealing lead - which they clearly were - because no one could prove they weren't on the roof looking at the view. That happens a lot of course.I often climb on to church roofs to take in the view and pocket a few tons of lead on the way. Great stuff.
We should get rid of politicians and replace them with folk with experience of life and who have held real jobs - and been successful. We shouldn't employ politicians who are self serving and turn up on I'm a Celebrity get me Out of Here. Surprised Cameron hasn't applied.
