Who or what is 'dindu'?
"din'du nuffink. I'm a promisin' footballer innit.'A generic slur to refer to a class of individuals who seem to perpetually at the scenes of crimes or caught red-handed yet claim to be perfectly innocent passers-by routinely harassed by the authorities. Usually have starring roles in various TV series narrated by the likes of Vinny Jones.
The frustration comes from the fact they have an army of do-gooder social services types who seem to keep them from ever facing the consequences of their social pariahdom and the normal law-abiding tax payers who fund them get bent over for the slightest transgression from the increasingly orwellian levels of rules applied to 'party members' with no apparant rule of law applicable to the 'proles' because it's seemingly accepted they are too thick to understand laws and should be exscused from compliance.

Nice one.OP's fine was reduced by £1809.
Any explanation as to why they got it so wrong in the first place? I can understand the Mags messing up, but isn't the Clerk supposed to know this stuff?
Good shot!
They should indeed have got the fine right in the first place.
As far as declaring income is concerned, I have seen millionaire businessmen who were driving £120k+ cars with £30k number plates declare £0 income and minimum wage and walk out of court with fines based on those falsehoods. Equally I have seen magistrates not being taken in by blatant attempts like that and fined appropriately. Perhaps if magistrates get a suspicion that speedy-rich-guy is taking the pi55 appropriate investigations should follow.
Happy Christmas OP
