20k in fines of course is no laughing matter, but you got to give her credit for chutzpah, citing the Magna Carta

[ichkeria]

When someone burgles her shop the thieves might also cite exemption from the law

[emmie]

no thieves usually got the stocks or worse, like losing a hand or the gallows.

Her stupidity is the tax payers gain.

[THECORBYLOON]

She's a member of a fringe-group of dissident hairdressers.

[emmie]

in thsi case the thieves would be punished with a really bad haircut.

[burlyshirley]

I don't blame her one bit for trying.

[douglas9401]

How embarrassing. Make you want to curl up and dye.

[jno]

// but you got to give her credit for chutzpah, //

yeah but no but - are you going to pay her fines for her?
then a more appropriate reply is "shut up and pay up and here's £5"

EVEN if 1215 art 61 said lar-dee-dah, statute can trump it ( 1605 shoo-shoo case. the judges all got together and wondered if a statute cd trump common law and they decided it could )

this is taking the standard AB refrain of
"there;s a law that says I can do this, but I cant fink what it is. There MUST be." to ridiculous lengths - - let her pay!
