Apparently 81-year-old Nellie Copson is again threatened with incarceration.
I agree with John Hinton's sentiments in this matter. Not so long ago many millions of pounds owed in poll tax, by young able-bodied people, were written off.
Why not write off this elderly lady's rates and leave her in peace? A mere "drop in the ocean" relatively.
Surely it is time that this country adopted the same enlightened policy as that of Spain and ceased sending people aged 75 plus to prison.
At such an age, people have ceased to be dangerous.
