Or a step forward towards more draconian regulation. Exactly. Pretty soon, the only option crt will have, is to apply for new legislation. However, it does come down to 6 of one, half a dozen of the other. CRT continuously abuse the written word of law by using somewhat dubious interpretation, yet denounce boat owners for doing the same. The cruising t&c's for home moorers are a class example of CRT's arrogance.

I see both sides of the problem, but think that the authority (CRT) should be held more accountable - they affect things far more than individuals. For the first time in my life I'm considering joining a march to Downing Street on the 8th April.

Or a step forward towards more draconian regulation. Well taking that a few steps further you could shoot people you don't agree with. Personally I think CRT have got too cocky (down to a few individuals) since they took over from BWB. It's time to pull the pendulum back a bit.

I tend to think that the more aggravation crt get the more likely they are to look at ways to eradicate the aggravation. If you see what I mean. I know it sounds a bit defeatist and I would not necessarily say it is the best attitude but my attitude is to try not to rock the boat.
I wonder if the boater referred to in this topic has been paying for a cruising license since the section 8 was applied which was apparently in 2014 or possibly before that according to the article on the kanda webshite.

Personally I think CRT have got too cocky (down to a few individuals) since they took over from BWB. It's time to pull the pendulum back a bit. The pit and the pendulum - a boaters tale. The unnamed boater is brought to trial before sinister judges of the C&RT, Parry provides no explanation of why he is there or of the charges on which he is being tried. Before him are seven tall white candles on a table, and, as they burn down, his hopes of survival also diminish. He is condemned to death, whereupon he faints and later awakens to find himself in a totally dark room. At first the boater thinks that he is locked in a hold, but then he discovers that he is in a cell. He decides to explore the cell by placing a scrap of his robe against the wall so that he can count the paces around the room, but he faints before he can measure the whole perimeter. When he reawakens, he discovers food and water nearby. He tries to measure the cell again, and finds that the perimeter measures one hundred steps. While crossing the room, he trips on the hem of his robe and falls, his chin landing at the edge of a deep pit. He realizes that had he not tripped, he would have fallen into this pit. After losing consciousness again, the boater discovers that the prison is slightly illuminated and that he is strapped to a lock beam on his back, facing the ceiling. Above him is a picture of Shoosmiths, with a razor-sharp pendulum measuring "one foot from horn to horn" suspended from it. The pendulum is swinging back and forth and slowly descending, designed to kill the boater eventually. However, he is able to attract rats to him by smearing his bonds with the meat left for him to eat. The rats chew through the straps, and he slips free just before the pendulum can begin to slice into his chest. The pendulum is withdrawn into the ceiling, and the walls become red-hot and start to move inwards, forcing him slowly toward the center of the room and the pit. As he loses his last foothold and begins to topple in, he hears a roar of voices and trumpets, the walls retract, and an arm pulls him to safety. The National Bargee Travelers Association has captured the cities of London & Bath and the C&RT has fallen into its enemies' hands.

Sorry...Poe is lost on me old chap. I should point out my reference to the pendulum is entirely different to his. Mine is much slower and had killed far more.

I really can't agree that the possibility of C&RT having to try and extend and add to it's powers through the proper channels, ie. a Parliamentary Bill instead of crapping on boaters by way of imaginary, self-conferred and made up 'on the hoof' powers, can be seen as anything other than a positive gain. They may try for new and more draconian powers, but there's no guarantee they'll succeed, and at the very least it would result in an opportunity for their piss-poor performance and catalogue of excesses and blunders to be put under public scrutiny.
