how can 2 x TEST CASES be settled out of court , the test cases where to check the legality of ALL the cases (many many 100s) ????

It's not up to the court to intervene when both parties come to an agreement.

Imagine, for example, one of the defendants gets cancer and thinks sod it i'm not dealing with this crap when i've only got a small amount of time with my family. Would you really expect the court to say, " we don't give a crap you're going to die soon or that you're willing to pay. YOU WILL BE IN COURT!"

Get a grip.

I'm surprised that Richard Burden MP, who sponsors most of the BPA's parliamentary get togethers, wasn't there to speak up for the industry.

I agree.

He needs to hear the horror stories more, let's encourage posters to inundate him.

Things like Hospital PCNs, or the one in the Bristol NHS Clinic where they ticketed on a Saturday (ParkingEye) and the OP was able to prove to POPLA after a complaint, that ParkingEye's 'evidence photos' were (ahem) not correct about Saturday enforcement.

Things like employees getting a PCN for daring to go to work, I'm thinking of the Co-op debacle with CEL and their revenge claims. CEL got off lightly by not being mentioned in Parliament, as did UKCPS and loads of others.

Im quite happy to bombard him and add him to my list to complain to about kangaroo court POPLA from my own poor experience with them and their "one stage appeal" process ie no complaints procedure !!!!

You and I did not take part in electing May, where were you at the time ? Sunny Spain maybe on the Sangria

The only people who took part in electing May as an MP were the voters in her Maidenhead constituency.

Each of the 650 constituencies elects an MP, and the leader of the party with an overall majority of MPs is invited to be the Prime Minister.

If the leader of that party decides to stand down, a new leader and de facto PM is elected according to party rules, which in the case of the Conservatives means that only sitting MPs had a vote, as only one candidate was left standing.

That's how it works.

Fully aware how it works and what happened.
May stood as a candidate and the MP's invited her to be PM .... NOT THE VOTER.
As Sturgeon correctly said, she is un elected meaning the voter had no choice

Half_way

As Sturgeon correctly said, she is un elected meaning the voter had no choice

Exactly the same as Miss Sturgeon then, other than her constituency Scottish voting public did not chose her to be First minister, the Scottish parliament at Holyrood did -anyway wasnt there some one else from whom she took over from? A;ex something or other? again following on from a once in a lifetime, once in a generation referendum
