Shame

lol, a load of nonjobbers finally get some punishment....hopefully the police will ignore it like they would do if it was one of us....

[Funk]

Whilst I have no love for the DVLA, if that had been our cars and the act of some vigilante eco-nutters we'd be seething.

Targeting the people who work there (however lazy or inept they may be) will not deliver the desired message to the Government and will only cost the individuals who did nothing to deserve having their tyres slashed.

Never fk with another man's car.

Indeed. This is supposed to be a car enthusiasts site. Car enthusiasts do NOT support vandalism to cars.

This was probably done by someone who has just lost their car because the DVLA lost a load of V5 and then said " fk you!"

No excuse though.

Imagine if a customer of your company was annoyed and did this to your vehicle?

Difficult to condone vandalism although the sentiment is understandable.

However the DVLA is NOT a company and we are not it's 'clients'.

bd Labour message is getting through alright.

Obviously, I never said they were, that's you reading into it what you want. I was using an example to illustrate the idiocy of it.

Most of us share the sentiment, such that it is but we don't resort to stupid behaviour. I want to thump Gordon Brown (and most the rest of the government) in the gob but I'm civilised enough not to. I certainly don't find some random civil servants and start slashing their tyres!

Are you suggesting that if you work for an organisation involved in crime you would just do your job? One thing you must realise about the civil service is that they are slime and have the pottential for being criminals just like the DVLA. If this were a supplier to civil service they would have been up before the beak, As it is of course civil servants have no morals or resposibilities.

With respect to the tyre slashing, well welcome to the real world. When the silly speed limit was imposed on lake Windermere many many business were faced with bankruptcy. The people employed to enforce the speed limit found their children were attacked in the playground. Again proof that there are certain lines you must not cross and taking away peoples livelihood or defrauding them out of a lot of money will result in revenge, particularly if the response is "har har its not our fault". Clearly the DVLA deserve punishment for their crime. I personally would just adopt a policy of sack and scrap, however the labouranticar party are complicit in this fraud so its small wonder the tyres have been slashed. I am amazed its not worse.

Come on, this is the evil DVLA which goes out of its way to fine you and create situations which will cause you to be fined. Remember all the bike entitlements which "mysteriously" vanished from licenses which were renewed ? They didn't even accept the word of a police officer and forced everybody to re-test.

What goes around comes around I'm afraid . . . I'd not vandalise their cars myself but these things happen for a reason.

[G_T]

...And how many of the staff who will probably end up paying out of their own pockets for the damage to their cars do you think are involved in any aspect of DVLA policy making?

The vast majority will just be 9-5 urks like myself who just want to do their job and go home. You can't just indescrimnately vandalise people's cars because they were simply parked in the wrong car park on the wrong day. That's not justice it's vandalism end of. It's no better than those filthy animal rights protestors who think they have the right to threaten people's families because of some misguided sense of moral superiority.

[Mclovin]

come on, working for a company that serves no purpose other than to provide you with a job is a disgrace....
