He's having a laugh.
How many armed police? What were the fire brigade going to do with a rubber boat?
Is the junk on the bank his where he was moored or is it the remains of a fisherman who had the audacity to set up on his boat mooring?
Where is Parry when you need him?

Well samsam superman, he was hoping you'd do it for him, with just a dustbin lid for cover, and a bucket at the ready to use cut water on the adjacent Total Fuel petrol storage tanks if they go up. But he didn't ask cos he knows you are comfy in that armchair. Maybe just email the chief constable with your advice. |

The chap (I presume it's actually the narrowboat) is the one from aove Officce Lock (Leeds) that had been "squatting" there for months until they finally evicted him earlier in the year... he then just moved to Castleford where he's been for months since... cluttering up the towpath, complete with umpteen staffs (the dogs are nice but a bit barky)...
Obvious mental health issues (don't we all?) but all that moving him on does is transfer HIS problems to another area - perhaps this time he might get some care and intervention to help him out along the way.
My instict used to be to keep clear of such folk but these days... perhaps the empath in me, wants to see if there is a way to help bring them back into boaty society etc.

Can't the Police shift his boat next to kris's? Then kris can show his caring side. It seems that so long as you have 'mental issues' it's perfectly OK to live on a boat with no CRT licence and dump trash all over the towpath.
Like that bloke on the boat 'Hobbit'* who claimed I was giving him stress and was going to have an epileptic fit and call the Police (not sure in what order) because I politely pointed out a lock landing is not a suitable place to be parked up for lunch.
*guess what? no licence displayed!

Would have gladly gone round and cleared all the bussies away, sorted the problem in two shakes of a staffies damp whatsit but I'm busy 8,000 miles away smoothing the waves on the swimming pool. Well, someone has to. Call me next time, I'll wear my knickers over the tights. Ooops, time for a Chang. |

At one time the prevailing method of treatment for the mentally ill was to lock them up out of sight of the public, where they could fester and die in privacy. This was considered the humane thing to do; humane for those not suffering from mental illness, that is. But Thatcher decided that was too expensive, so now they fester and die in public. It is a sad reflection on our culture that they only become worthy of attention when the meltdown occurs.
This guy is about to lose everything he has. Perhaps it was inevitable. Maybe he should have been on NABT's priority list for assistance. Only a fucking cunt would find it funny.
