WTF?

Not only is that absolutely shameful, it'll be an absolute failure because these fcuktards are absolutely frightened of technology they haven't introduced themselves.

Whoever came up with that one must have had a head injury.

It is guilty until you pay to try and prove your innocence. If anything, whoever is making the allegation should pay the £20.

Someone in the IP protection industry, I'd have thought. The 'dumb [LIFTED]' quotient in there seems to be very high.

There is also an issue with the wording. They are saying you pay £20 to appeal against an allegation. To me that suggests that they see the allegation as a conviction.

So £20 to DEFEND yourself against an allegation.

[LIFTED], the lot of them.
