Scrap metal law to stop cable theft

Source: Michael

I would like to thank all those involved in the new scrap law – do you really think this is going to stop theft of wire? If you do, you have got to be a thick as the greedy Government is.

I work in the scrap industry and I am going to suffer badly. This will push unemployment up and just make wire worth more. How can the government justify the price of the new licence? It's a rip-off, the only people who suffer are the good hard-working ones. The thieves and the Government are going to get richer out of this.

Plus, the price the railway charges, they get their money back 10 times over…
