Dead man fined

Bethan Dorsett

A KIRKHOLT man has been fined for not having a TV licence – even though he is dead.

Kenneth Brierley was fined £200 by Rochdale magistrates on 28 November – six weeks after losing a long fight against cancer.

His family didn’t know anything about the fine until they read his name in last Saturday’s Observer.

   This country is becoming more and more ridiculous. No wonder people are moving abroad!

   The bailiffs must have noticed he was a sick man.

It's all about money money money in this country , stealth taxes and fines amongst the poorest of society.

How we are not rioting against this regime is a mystery.

How much did these half wits think his settee would make?

Its a bloody police state.
