Oh yes these freeloaders again. Those who are causing all the problems. I mean it was the freeloaders who initiated the policy of no preventative maintenance wasn’t it? It was the freeloaders who have sold all the family silver to property developers wasnt it? Do try to think for yourself. It’s exactly the same trick the tories play when they blamed the economic crash on the unemployed and the sick. In fact they are still blaming the state of the economy on the unemployed and sick. I mean they haven’t been in power for 12 or so years, so they couldn’t do anything about it. Jim you question these distraction techniques when they are used by the tories. But swallow the same guff, hook line and sinker when crt spew the same bullshit. Distraction techniques are very common used by the lowly conjurer and politician alike. Don’t look here, look there. Come on jim, wake up.

You are conflating 2 separate things. I agree fully with your views on CRT mismanagement, how they spend their money. But you miss the irony of those who wish to pay as little as possible whinging about CRT not spending enough, knowing their rights but not having any responsibility.
We all need to contribute fairly, CRT need to get their act together and HMG need to put more dosh into our heritage. Freeloaders aren't causing all the problems, that's your take on it, they just seem to do their best to do their bit to create them - then whinge. You need to look here AND there!

No I’m not. Blaming people who don’t have the power in the situation is a politicians trick. Crt are currently playing distraction technique games. Yourself and others keep falling for it by blaming the “freeloaders.” Whilst I don’t deny the number of people not paying liscences or showing numbers names is on the increase,(I dislike them as much as the next man.) But to blame them for the state of the waterways is to fall for crts propaganda. If you take a job on like the ceo of crt, then the reason you get paid big bucks, is because you are supposed to take responsibility for the situation. This is the job. So crt spreading all this division amongst boaters is a diversionary tactic. They are trying to divert the blame for the state of the waterways onto the goverment and a certain set of boaters. What I can’t believe, is how supposedly intelligent people fall for this bullshit. It’s the oldest and simplest trick in the book.

I blame Gordon Brown.
All that is going on in the bigger picture is that the towpath land is presenting itself as a problem.
Nobody seems to know how to deal with this problem.
It is quite an interesting problem. The canal itself with water and moveable structures is a secondary consideration.

Anyone on Universal credit will get the increases paid for. There's too much overemotional twaddle about. People renting houses, apart from mine, have had enormous increases in the last few years, boaters have it easy by comparison.

So Jim have you had a think why when the tories say something you reject it out of hand as lies and deceit. But when crt use the same kind of arguments you swallow it hook line and sinker? I’d just be interested why you think it is? Cultural programming maybe? It’s some kind of bias that you have internalised. But I fear it’s too late for you, after a certain age the brain can lose it plasticity, so you are probably stuck as you are.

I think you need to read what I said another couple of times, stop looking for disagreement where there is none. I suppose it's the inexperience of youth, young flibbertigibbet, unable to concentrate on a whole brief sentence. Now clean your readers, put them on and read this I AGREE WITH YOU ABOUT CRT, THE USELESS AND INEFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT WASTING MONEY, YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT CRT. Now if you could explain why you defend people in boats who want to contribute as little as possible towards their chosen way of living? You agree George Ward is a rascal, a freeloader, he isn't the only one. You seem to fall for their disguise as a right on hippie boater. Of which there are a good few of course, completely harmless, paying their dues.
