As austerity continues to bite, Nanny is faced with a shortfall between her tax revenues and her expenditures.
Now in the real world, inhabited by real people such as you and I, when we face a shortfall such as this we attempt to cut back on our expenditure.
Nanny, as we all know, doesn't live in the real world and therefore would not dream of cutting back on expenditure.
Her solution, during times of fiscal tightness, is simple she applies the well worn principle of:
Ker Farking Ching!
It should therefore come as no surprise to learn that local councils, instead of cutting back, are devising new ways to bleed ever more money from their overtaxed residents.
One "wheeze" dreamt up by Hammersmith and Fulham council (Tory run) is to charge people who use parks for their business; eg personal trainers, nannies, dog walkers, teachers leading children through the park etc.
Bills of between £350-£1200 per annum are on the cards for "business use" of the parks.
Funny that, as I assumed that the parks were already paid for via council tax?
On this basis, why not also charge "business" people for walking along the pavement?
Ker Farking Ching!
