Albert Tatlock Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Just now, Declan said: Why's that unfair? Come on Declan! Because they state you are paying X for a service in the bill and then halve that service after you paid them. Bit like paying for your boiler to be serviced annually and the guy only turns up every two years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 But you can't shop around like you can with boiler service companies and pay your rates to a different council. It isn't a contract between you and the Council, it's a tax. If they'd made the change before the bills went out, the service would be the same, the bills the same, and everyone would have had no choice but to pay it. Also if they changed the service before the bills went out then the previous year would have been impacted by the same "unfairness". 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that guy gets shut down legally, so will this thread, or at least very large chunks of it. These pastes should have gone into a different thread. Try and switch on a little more to the consequences of your actions...it might make you more friends on MF. What claims would those be and where would I find them? Also 1. How can I put anything at risk by posting something that’s freely in the public domain under a known persons (ie, not anonymous) social media profile? 2. Another poster posted the link to Twitter before I did. It’s public domain information that anyone can read or check.

Well I suppose at least he has no connection to DBC. If it’s an issue then take down but it seems to be that almost everything of late to do with DBC seems to be taken down or censured in one way or another. It’s public domain info that will probably end up in a press report at some stage anyway which seems to be the intention of the poster.

Jason Scales published it and it’s freely readable in the public domain elsewhere attributed to a known person. Are you suggesting the forum should stop everyone screen shotting or re-posting things they read anywhere else on the internet just in case? If so your probably well advised to remove the post a clip facility from the platform. Edited January 3, 2023 by Steady Eddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so your probably well advised to remove the post a clip facility from the platform. But when you repeat a libel or slander you are equally responsible for publishing it as the original person. So, the public domain/other person published it first argument isn’t a defence for you. You would have to prove justification yourself. Can you? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoTailT Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I don't know about anyone else, but I read the screenshots on the twitter thing and got myself comfortable with its legitimacy. But I do see AT and JW's point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
