You can't ignore parking fines, can you?

Perhaps, but that is a matter for him. I don't see how it is your problem.

Perhaps? Do you mean perhaps he is breaking the law? It's debatable whether it's illegal to avoid parking tickets? (and I do NOT mean ones from cowboy clamping companies)

Anyone who uses terms like New World Order is always a crackpot.

Not necessarily.

However, one may accurately say that anyone has a poor understanding of Latin if they suppose that "New World Order" is the correct translation of novus ordo seclorum (link)

Is this a question ?

Sounds like a statement.

Alright, maybe that's not a question, is it a correct statement, then?

Not necessarily.

Yeah, and people who utter racial slurs aren't necessarily racists but they usually are.

Right or wrong is irrelevant it is a matter of enforceabilty.

Are they wrong to charge us a single penny?

There is a difference between breaching a contract and breaking the law.

It may be that the parking offense is purely contractual, a civil matter.
Both sides can argue their case and the court would decide if a contract was created between the parties and also if that contract was breached.

If the court found that the contract was legitimate then any sums due under it would be legitimate and therefore due, if not, not.

If the parking was subject to criminal legislation then the penalty would be enforceable by the boys in blue

Not a matter of right or wrong, have I said that before ?

And how do you know when it's merely a civil matter, and when it's subject to criminal legistration? Is using public car parking spaces without paying for any length of time, just a civil matter that you worm your way out of? (and I don't just mean if it's for 1 minute or there's some mitigating circumstance)

Bloody hell. Not right or wrong in some deep philosophical sense, right or wrong in a real world honest and legal sense!

Serious comments like the blather you've posted?

But why, if you do not have any prejudice against ethnic minorities, did you accuse him of behaving "like a pikey"? (link)
