English City Council doesn't like lemonade
Posted: Fri Jul 21, 2017 9:50 am
Fines a 5 year old girl 150 pounds for having a lemonade stand.
Predictably, with the public screaming in anger, they have since backtracked on the fine and apologized, but fuck them. At no point was there anyone smart enough to say, "Even if we're right in terms of the law, is this really a good idea? Do we really think a 5 year old is some master criminal trying to circumvent the law? Even if we look at this completely selfishly, is this move going to get us great press or bad press?"
Vote them all out.
