      Boris Johnson, former Prime Minister

      Seems as if Germany has their own version of Boris🤣   ”I know that some of you are impatient with my posts about German politics, and particularly my repeated pieces on our retarded Health Minister. I get that this can seem like inside baseball, and that all of you suffer under the very similar idiocies of your own Covid politicians. But, I just can’t help myself. Lauterbach is a special case, a truly monumental idiot who in his boundless incompetence and stupidity vastly exceeds his peers. It is my aim to make him the international symbol of pandemic derangement. I want pictures of this human incarnation of everything that is wrong with masking children and force-vaccinating millions printed next to future dictionary entries on Covidianism. We have seen the enemy, and it is this sad, stupid, Smeagol-looking loser, who thinks Eric Feigl-Ding is an authority and that clip-on bowties are fashionable.”     German Media Realise Their Health Minister is an International Laughingstock – The Daily Sceptic DAILYSCEPTIC.ORG The German media are waking up to the fact that their mask-loving Health Minister Karl Lauterbach is an international...

      Should we trust Sunak or the next PM to fix the Country's problems? (title revised 24/10/22)

      Guardian readers on here  trying to ignore this 🤣🤣🤣   “Was it my imagination, on Tuesday morning, that there were more than the usual number of possible Guardian readers looking down in the mouth? I don't think so. A few of them, with that hard-to-define but easy-to-recognise look of Guardianistas, appeared unusually pensive. Had some momentous event occurred that had made them question their prejudices? Later in the morning, I stumbled on a possible cause. There was an article prominently displayed in the Guardian print edition and on its website under the byline of the paper's Economics Editor, Larry Elliott. Its headline ran: 'I've got news for those who say Brexit is a disaster: It isn't. That's why rejoining is just a pipe dream.'”   STEPHEN GLOVER: Why won't the Tories trumpet the successes of Brexit when even the economics editor of the Guardian hails its benefits? | Daily Mail Online WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK STEPHEN GLOVER: The headline of Larry Elliott's Guardian article ran: 'I've got news for those who say Brexit is a disaster: It...

      So I ask you –"when did you first have sight of this policy containing this exclusion?" And you answer – "when I brought the policy" And then I ask you – "what is the value of the damage your caravan has sustained" and you answer that it is probably a complete write-off

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      People are still buying used cars unseen, paying by cash or by bank transfer, relying on brand-new MOT's by the dealer's favourite MOT station….
      It always leads to tears!

I have been claiming Job Seekers Allowance for a year, and have Council Tax benefit for the same period. I receive a letter from Council yesterday inviting me to IUC on 4th March for possible Benefit Fraud. They said they have reason to believe I failed to declare non-dependent in the house.

I am 53 and this is my first ever council tax benefit claim. At the time of claiming, my son had a girl friend and he doesn’t stay at home. So I treated him as living away. But about 2 months after the claim, he split up with the girl and moved back. I have not reported this to Council as I was not aware of the requirement. Hence I am now being invited to IUC.

Does anybody have the same experience and can give me any advice? What is the worst case scenario?

Any advice would be appreciated. Many thanks.

I think you just need to explain that he moved back in and that you didn't realise at the time you needed to tell them this but now you do.

 

Give them the date he moved back in and they will probably want to know about where he was living before.

 

Most likely scenario is that they will work out any overpayment and ask for you to pay this back. Is your son working?

Thanks Aviva, for the advice.

Yes. I will tell them exactly that. I wasn't aware that it was necessary for me to tell them about the change. As this was my first council Tax benefit claim, I didn't fully understand the requirements.

Yes, my son is working (self-employed).

I will be upfront and honest with them.

Hope for the best. Thanks.
