naming and shaming copycat legal vigilantes operating here
<snip the list>
Please can I ask a question?
What is a legal vigilante?
I ask because the OED defines a vigilante as:A member of a self-appointed group of citizens who undertake law enforcement in their community without legal authority.
Oh, and a second question:
What sort of law enforcement do you see those people on your list doing?
And sorry, just one more:
Have I asked enough questions yet so that I can be added to the list?0 -
Look, if we're all going to be vigilantes, we're going to need badges. And hats.
Oh, and Keith-66, who put you in charge ? Has HPus abdicated ?0 -

Sadly, guys, I have to continue my post in this thread since the other one seems locked to death.The Cabinet Office intervened on behalf of the DVLA, claiming that the domain was hosting a “copycat” website designed to “hoodwink” the public into paying excessive fees for services - such as changing driving licence details – which can be done directly with the DVLA.
