On their return they had the cheek to knock on our door again begging for money.

I bet that they were among the 9000 or so who were threatened to pay for their electricity – or else – without having their water and electricity supply actually cut off.

When the majority of his readers are morons this type of reporting is known as licence: the editor feels free to feed them trash.
