mr kumar, i am not condoning alistair at all and looking at his smug face all the time in news papaers and tv channels makes me want to kill him on the spot. poverty is no excuse to encroach on public space all the time. how would you like it if a shanty comes right in front of ur house by ppl giving the same excuse "poverty" every open space is being encroached upon in the name of poverty. so what abt the rights of citizens who pay their taxes on time and not even get basic facilities like pavements to walk on. i dont give a damn abt alister and he should be fined the max amount and given the harshest punishment but unless the pavements and roads are free of ppl sleeping in night, there are going to be more cases like this and all may not be only because of drunken driving
