A logger is arrested for trying to cut down a tree in case it may be
offensive to Muslims or other religious groups not consulted in the
felling licence. He is also fined a £100 as his chainsaw is in
breach of Health and Safety legislation as it deemed too dangerous
and could cut something. He has used the chainsaw for over 20 years
without incident however he does not have the correct certificate of
competence and is therefore considered to be a recidivist and
habitual criminal. His DNA is sampled and his details circulated
throughout all government agen cies. He protests and is taken to
court and fined another £100 because he is such an easy target. When
he is released he returns t o find Gypsies have cut down half his
wood to build a camp on his land. He tries to throw them off but is
arrested,=2 0prosecuted for harassing an ethnic minority, imprisoned
and fined a further £100. While he is in jail the Gypsies cut down
the rest of his wood and sell it on the black market for £100 cash.
They also have a leaving BBQ of squirrel and pheasant and depart
leaving behind several tonnes of rubbish and asbestos sheeting. The
forester on release is warned that failure to clear the fly tipped
rubbish immediately at his own cost is an offence. He complains and
is arrested for environmental pollution, breach of the peace and
invoiced £12,000 plus VAT for safe disposal costs by a regulated
government contractor.
Your assignment: How many times is the logger going to have to be
arre sted and fined before he real ises that he is never going to
make £20 profit by hard work, give up, sign onto the dole and live
off the state for the rest of his life?

A logger doesn�t sell a lorry load of timber because he can�t get a
loan to buy a new lorry because his bank has spent all his and their
money on a derivative of securitised debt related to sub- prime
mortgages in Alabama and lost the lot with only some government
money left to pay a few million pound bonuses to their senior
directors and the traders who made the biggest losses.
The logger struggles to pay the £1,200 road tax on his old lorry
however, as it was built in the 1970s it no longer meets the
emissions regulations and he is forced to scrap it.
Some Bulgarian loggers buy the lorry from the scrap merchant and put
it back on the road. They undercut everyone on price for haulage and
send their cash back home, while claiming unemploy ment for
themselves and their relatives. If questioned they speak no English
and it is easier to deport them at the governments expense.
Following their holiday back home they return to the UK with
different names and fresh girls and start again. The logger
protests, is accused of being a bigoted racist and as his name is on
the side of his old lorry he is forced to pay £1,500 registration
fees as a gang master.
The Government borrows more money to pay more to the bankers as
bonus's are not cheap. The parliamentarians feel they are missing
out and claim the difference on expenses and allowances.
You do the maths.
