Richard Littlejohn slates FBF Brian Coleman for shafting local businesses

Richard Littlejohn today exposes the way Brian Coleman is shafting small businesses and local restaurants with his parking changes and charges. Littlejohn states that he will no longer use his favourite chippy in Finchley (Two Brothers) because Coleman has moved to a pay by mobile phone for much of the Boroughs parking. Littlejohn states that he "can't be bothered with it". He's not the only one. Not everyone has mobile phones, many elderly people use them purely for making emergency phonecalls, being bamboozled by the other features.

The bottom line is that in the middle of a recession, it is yet another kick in the teeth for small business. Brian Coleman is rather keen on many of the restaurants in Barnet. I hope that those who have been hit by these changes don't take revenge in the time honoured manner, when a customer upsets them.

You seemed to have been spammed, Roger. On the other hand, perhaps the "Dissertation Writing Service" could be used by Mike, Manuel, Lynne and Andrew, in completing their thesis:

"How to Wreck a Local Authority in north London."

They should then be able to have letters after their name, like Brian's

"FRSA"

According to Sutherland Lyall, 'the Royal Society of Arts used to ask you not to use the suffix FRSA, because anybody who pays the modest fee becomes a Fellow'.
