If you went to court on a driving charge and was told that you have to pay the normal fine associated with that charge plus an extra £15 to pay towards the woman who got beat up by her boyfriend. you'd say this isn't justice.
but we'll let it happen because we're all the crazy British.
They'll put an extra £15 on everyone who works, council tax soon. it'll be to pay for the victims of road accidents.
an extra £15 on your TV licence. it'll be to pay for the victims of flooding.
