    oh dear , it was a private parking co and they have reported him to the police

    Parking and Enforcement Agency (PEA). must be very brave or stupid people to annoy this person

    look like changes may just happen in NI

    I am surprised the bloke was late back. Surely he had a timer.

    It's something to do with apple etc.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    The BBC got it wrong tonight on their news report. According to them he "parked illegally" on that private car-park. No, he didn't, he just broke one of their rules, no parking law was broken.
    What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?
  • OP couldn!!!8217;t be more wrong and comes across as a troglodyte. As Kelly is a SF politician, their political enemies will seize upon this (including in London) to make a SF politician look as bad as possible. He has already been painted as a law breaker and someone who believes he is above the common !!!8220;law abiding!!!8221; person by cutting the clamp off. Even though we all know clamping should be illegal.

    If anything this will set back the cause in NI even further, as SF rivals will be unable to admit that clamping is WRONG without also acknowledging that Kelly was correct in removing the clamp. Clamping will all of a sudden be completely fair and reasonable as long as it makes SF look nasty.

    PS ... way to try and paint SF as a bunch of scum bags who will break the legs of the clampers for clamping the car. SF are a law abiding legitimate party and you would do well to not paint us as gangsters!
    If you were not the driver write to the parking firm and tell them who was so they CANNOT hold you liable. The person who was driving the car is responsible so let them deal with it. Not you! Don’t let people with an agenda tell you otherwise.

    As a proud Catholic and Celtic supporter, I will always stand with my brothers across the water.

    Please provide a link to NI MSE, thanks.
