    Significant Threat

    BBC News

    A 72 year old pensioner has been jailed for 7 days because she owes 53 quid on her council tax. Obviously crumblies are a far greater threat than any of us realised - the new face of terrorism?

    72 - prison

    I suspect she answered the door in a bikini when the tax collector called.

      After they have served their hard labour do they still owe the 53 quid ?

          It's a trumped-up charge, she was actually spotted buying £1.37 worth of bacon off-cuts in the Co-Op, they had to jail her as she had offended local Muslims.

              How long before she's chibbed to death by a psycho lesbian for not giving the pink?

                Exactly, more of this and the government would be in a right old pickle.

                I personally feel so strongly against the New Lie p1ssing my taxes away that I have chosen to give them to another country. This means that many e-gov projects in the UK are utter failures. That's my bit, I've stood up to be counted.

                You all rightly deserve B'liar and Brownstuff because you're so spineless. If only a few more people would do the same this poncing scum would be a footnote in history.

                  For clarification: the taxes in Denmark for me are actually lower than they are in the UK. So, maybe not so noble...

                    Al Qaeda will never bring down the government, indeed they might help it (look what Galtieri did for Thatcher). But she might. So yes, she is a greater danger: to the government, that is, not to the people.
