In a car crash, the one most at fault inevitably gets out and lays claim to innocence by accusing the other driver.

It seems that this "slow crash" is getting a lot of the guilty shouting "Foul" before the crunch.

If a beggar came to you drunk and smoking and addressed you in an aggressive manner - what would you do? Some might lecture him on profligacy and efficient use of meagre resources, most would walk away.
