The answer being none.<BR/>Of course that applies to all, local or incomer.<BR/><BR/>If you harm another or their property then it is incumbent upon them to seek compensation through the legal system (with help from the state for the poor perhaps).<BR/><BR/>The only exception being those things which affect many people a small amount - such as CO2 emissions. In which case you tax the emissions at cost.<BR/><BR/>As for the Fire Brigade's Union - they have deliberately put people's lives in danger through strikes in the past. If you're going to have a monopoly on such a service (as I presume the Union wishes) then it is incumbent upon them to provide that service.<BR/>Evil is too strong, but they do not act as providers of a service, but as rent seekers.Tristanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15395992764678278326noreply@blogger.com
