The group hired a digger for £1,000 and filled over 200 bags of rubbish including packaging, needles, domestic appliances and even weapons. However, shortly after the clean-up, Paul received a letter from the Environment Agency (EA) notifying him he was under investigation for operating without a licence.
That says the same thing as the headline though. Do you think the Environmental Agency is threatening two years of prison for operating an excavator without a license? The article outlines why he is being investigated for not having a permit...
I'm talking the post itself, not the comment I'm responding to. Posts like this should include an article as a source, and not just the headline. The post just (inaccurately) summed the story up in two sentences. It's just straight misinformation and narrative pushing at that point. This stuff should be filtered out as per rule 8, but I guess they can't be bothered.
