    Have worked in marketing, but in the Arts ... mind you, a megaphone mightโ€™ve been handy then too ๐Ÿ˜‰ย

    Surely fines should be relative to one's ability to pay?ย 
    Surely fines should be set slightly over one's ability to pay ?ย  Otherwise it has little impact on the miscreant whether it be ยฃ50 ( non footballer ) or ยฃ4 million (footballer, banker or WHY )
    Unlikely tho that a court would hand down a fine for ยฃ4 million simply to make a point.
    Apart from that, where exactly do these "fines" end up ( assuming at least some of them are actually paid ) - general govt. or divided between police, NHS, local councils ?
    I'd suggest a fine should equate to multiples of an hour / day / month / year's income depending upon severity.

    Taken to it's logical conclusion that would mean that the scumbags who have never done a day's work in their life would never be fined for thieving / drug offences etc, etc as they have no income.
    Presumably they get "benefits" of some kind?

    Yes, but if that money is taken they will just apply for a hardship payment because the money they have is too low.ย  End result - we give them money, take it back off them, then give them more to make up for the money we've taken off them.ย  As for community service - they wouldn't turn up and they know that nothing will be done about it.

    I hardly think it beyond the wit of Man to have a "fine" exempting one from any further payments.ย

    ...that's one of theirs, yes. I know they ramp up the volume for ads anyway, but using Dove's marketing megaphone ploy on top.....

    Wanger, Dong, Sausage etc. Just to spoil my enjoyment [ or lack of ] of the football.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    The add is vastly more enjoyable than the way 'we're' playing at the moment. Last night was so depressing. How can a team, famed for its attacking football and defence become so poor at both?

    ..and don't get me started on that Andrex advert about clean bums...
