Just for 1 toilet paper! 80-year-old mother “full income in 1 week” official cold answer: I deserve | New | NOWnews Today News

An 82-year-old British grandmother, when happily shopping on the street with her grandson, did not expect two officials to suddenly arrest the grandmother and then issue a fine for “littering”, and she was only because “1 piece of paper toilet “fell to the ground, all his weekly income was lost.

According to a Manchester Evening News report, 82-year-old grandmother Margaret Newton (Margaret Newton) and her grandson Mark (Mark) in Manchester, England, and her grandson Mark (Margaret) An environmental protection officer detained the grandmother and later imposed a fine for “disposing of garbage.” Mark reluctantly pointed out that at the time, Grandma explained to officials that she accidentally dropped a piece of toilet paper on the floor when she reached into the bag to grab the key. He didn’t realize that it was all an accident and there was no malicious attempt to throw out the trash. Mark immediately interceded, saying, “This year he’s 82 years old. Even if I saw him, I wouldn’t be able to bend over and pick him up right away. If possible, I can pick up trash for you as compensation!”

However, officials believe that the grandmother should be punished: “This is her price and the rules are rules.” The fine was 75 pounds (approximately NT $ 2,846), which is equal to the pension Margaret can receive in one week. If this fine is paid, you will not be able to face all kinds of expenses in life. What made it even worse was that if he did not pay the fine within two weeks, the fine would increase to £ 100 (approximately NT $ 3,794).

Mark thought the matter was unreasonable and suggested that the grandmother should not pay the fine, and decided to appeal to the authorities. However, in the end she was rejected, leaving Mark baffled and yelling, “They said I can’t speak on her behalf, but she is older, lives alone, without a computer and without email. How can she defend her rights?”

In response, the Windsor and Maidenhead council spokesperson also responded: “We have carefully reviewed the case and in the end we are sure that she deliberately lost the toilet paper and did not intend to put it back. Put it back in her pocket, or pick it up and take it. We have also received your complaint against the fine, which is still under review. ”(Editor: Chen Yayun)
