Ah a protection racket. Interesting. I just noticed the CRT are looking for a licence support officer for London area. What a fun job that would be ! I think it would suit yourself as a job. You could feed back all of these wonderful ideas you have about the future of the waterways directly to crt’s management. Rather than through the rather obscure medium of Internet forums. You could vent your personal hatred of cc’ers personally rather again through a remote medium. Win win all round what’s not to like? Oh no your disabled aren’t you and letting the goverment pay for your cider so why would you want to start working now?

It has been suggested to me that this might be the ideal job but I think it is a job for someone who does not live on the water. If you think I hate cc ers you have got completely the wrong end of the stick.

I’m only going by what you post on the internet.

I couldn't care less to be honest. I do what I do, and let other folk get on with their lives. Live and let live. So long as they aren't on a water point or a Visitor Mooring where passing boaters might need to stop to visit the shops I couldn't give a shit if someone moors in the same place for six months.

Unless it’s against homosexuals? Yawn. You always turn every thread onto the subject of homosexuality. I suspect you are a closet poof, this is what they do to create a smokescreen. And … wait for it … any moment now you will start whining that I always turn every thread onto the subject of homosexuality. Your transparent foolishness is highly amusing😂

And you only come here to talk trash when you're bored. There must be something else you could do instead.

In a way the topic of people living on towpaths has already got totally out of control.
Put up licence fees you get more problems and more enforcement needed.
There are enough problems already.
What needs to happen is for the towpaths to be transferred out of the CRT to another manager.
The amount of money the CRT have to spend on enforcement is ridiculous. The current use of towpaths is liable to put the existence of canals themselves at risk.
Major changes are needed and its nothing to do with marginalising anyone it is to do with protecting the canals from rapid decline.
People who are in a distressed state regards housing should not be living itinerant on boats. This isn't acceptable They should be looked after by local authorities.
The fact is that lots and lots of cc ers could easily afford twice the licence fee but obviously don't -want- to pay more.
The basic problem is the CRT being forced to act as a housing authority. This is outside of the remit of a navigation authority.
Times change and arrangements need to keep up.
The suggestion that BWs original desire to criminalise having no mooring was deliberately having a go at a certain group is nonsense. It is far more likely that people knew what was going to happen because the extremely low cost of a licence compared to renting property would pull vast numbers of people onto the canals and be incredibly expensive to deal with over time.
At one stage second hand narrow boat prices were going up. This is a basic indicator that the licence is far too cheap.

The man can't even spell "licenced"....
A surcharge on 20% of boaters - many of whom can't or won't pay it - is going to save the canal network - really?!
