The Libertarian and the Fabian

I’m trapped in my own home!
 

It's like a cattle grid for disabled people

When a Fabian sees a mattress blocking the path they think, "Who should move this mattress?" When a Libertarian sees a mattress blocking the path they think, "How can I move this mattress?".

DISABLED Marjory Ashwell has hit out at the council after they refused to collect a dumped mattress which is stopping her from getting out and about.

But the council said,

they can’t remove it because it is on private land.

and so,

But two weeks ago, she found herself stranded in her house when a mattress was dumped in the alley behind the property, preventing her from going about her normal daily routine.

That's right. Two weeks later and the mattress is still there.

“There is no way I could possibly move it by myself, I have ME and am lacking in energy.

Fair enough. So ask a friend, family member or neighbour. Or even the private property owner.

Marjory said she has had to pay for taxis or use Dial-A-Ride services in order to go about her daily routine since the item was dumped, despite repeatedly contacting the council asking them to remove it.

Oh. Would it not have been far cheaper to pay a man with a van to take it to the tip?
Only when you create a socialist workers paradise, can a mattress bring life to a standstill.
