Two Jags lapse of memory!You would have thought after the first eighteen months of non-payment of council tax the bailiff’s would have been on Prescott’s doorstep demanding he be arrested, summoned to appear at the fines clinic court and then sentenced to three months in jail. Apparently these terms and conditions of failure to pay council tax apply to everyone? “Or do they?” As we have seen with numerous pensioners who have spent a few weeks with her majesties pleasure for council tax evasion are arrested tried and punished within months of their last non-payment! So why isn’t Two Jags behind bars banged up in the clink?
Retired pensioner aged 73 Sylvia Hardy from Exeter was thrown in the pokey on a seven day stretch for a paltry £53.71. Mary Rooney aged 75 did time for the whopping arrears of £360. With both their respective councils hot on the heels of these two ladies after just a few months of council tax arrears they get two choices, either pay up or go to jail. The judge who tried Mary Rooney told her she had plenty of time to pay before he clamped her in irons. There is a slight difference in time scales between Roony’s twenty four months fight and Prescott’s nine fucking years!!! Who the hell is responsible for letting council tax evasion slip unnoticed for NINE years anyway? Its not like they are unable to contact Prescott or not know where he lives. On average over seven million people see his grimacing fat ugly bastard face slapped all over the TV on a weekly basis. Normal folk get regular notices of failure to pay & red final demand letters stuffed through their door?
Nine years worth of council tax payment demands shoved through Prescott’s letterbox should at least be fifteen feet high by now! How in the world could Prescott have failed to see them when they toppled on top of him as he opened the door? ‘And what of the council?’ After the first twelve months alarm bells should have started sounding! After two years a squad car should have been seen in front of parliament to apprehend Prescott. Three years Prescott should have been sent down, convicted of being a tax dodger! Its hard to believe that Prescott or any of his family did not clap eyes on a single final demand.
But Prescott is far from being normal. He is allowed to punch people in front of rolling cameras! Park in handicapped spaces while he stuffs his face in Chinese restaurants? And roar around in two Jaguars while preaching to the populace about the greed of gas guzzlers needing to be governed!
“Go figure”
