This Brighton resident announced she’d sue Brighton and Hove City Council in July 2014 after her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Scooby, slipped a disc whilst chasing a cat on council-owned land. Facing a £5,000 bill for the dog’s surgery, this benefit claimer argued that “the grass was too long” and that “they [the council] are completely liable for what happened”. Yet another example of “compensation culture gone mad”, Rebecca Richardson should be given a job with Network Rail: She’d be brilliant at coming up with excuses to go alongside “the wrong type of snow” and “leaves on the line”.

This dog is overweight. That’s why it slipped a disk, when ‘over exercising’!!
It is going to the dogs……The dog is obviously obese and in a unfit and unhealthy state. It is a clear case of political correctness over ruling common sense. Monty Python stuff…….
