    • Now that is an interesting article which adds afew perspective that I hadn't thought significant - but on reflection of the perspectives offered ... Now Starmer is no Blair, however 'blairite he may be perceived, but the Tories aren't tories and aren't even remotely liberal   The fast 'unannounced and unexpected election call from sunack may well be explained by the opinion linked that he hoped reform would be unprepared and effectively call a chunk of Farages largely empty bluster - making him look even more of a prat, leave scope for attacks on shabby reform candidates and mimimise core vote losses to reform - while throwing the 'middle ground' (relative) tories TO THE DOGS - and with the added bonus of likely pacifying his missu' desire to jogg off to sunny cal tout suite somewhat   thumb in the air - I expect about 140ish tory seats, but can hope for under a hundred Reform - got to admit the outside possibility of 1, maybe 2 seats with about 8% of the vote - but unlikely. I think projections of over 10% of the vote for reform is nudged and paid for speculation - but possible with the expected massive drives from Russian, Chinese and far right social media bot and troll prods targeting the gullible.
    • Commentary June 2024 WWW.ELECTORALCALCULUS.CO.UK Interesting article about just how bad it could be for the Tories.  Also Tories could be hoping on Reform not having candidates in many seats, as they were not ready.  
    • Even a Piers Morgan is an improvement and a gutless Farage Piers Morgan calls for second Brexit referendum WWW.THELONDONECONOMIC.COM Piers Morgan and Nigel Farage have faced off over Brexit and a second referendum in a heated reunion on BBC Question Time.   “Why don’t we have another referendum about Brexit?” he questioned. “I seem to remember when 2016 came around we were told there was going to be control of our borders and it was going to be economically beneficial to this country. And eight years later we have lost complete control of our borders… and economically it seems to have been a wilful act of self-harm.”   ... Piers missed off : after all somebody said a 48/52 decision would be "unfinished business" by a long way - was that person just bul lying (again)  
    • when did they (who) inform you there was a 'police case' and when was this attained? i will guess the debt is now SB'd as it's UAE 15yrs. have you informed the bsnk ever by email/letter of your correct and current address? you can always ignore anyone else accept the bank,  Block and bounce back all emails. Block any text messages  Ignore any letters unless it's: - a Statutory Demand - a Letter Of Claim - a Court Claimform via Northants bulk.  
    • I left Dubai 8 years ago and intended to return. However a job prospect fell through. I’d been there for 15 years. I decided to pay my credit card and the bank had frozen my account. There is no means to pay the CC so completely unable to pay when I wanted to other than the bank advising me to ask a friend in the UAE to pay it on my behalf!  fast forward bank informs there is a police case against me for non payment. Years later IDR chased me and after months/ years they stopped. Now Judge & Priestley are trying their luck. Now I have received an email in English and Arabic from JP saying the bank has authorised them to collect debts. Is this the same as IDR although I didn’t receive anything like this from them. Just says they are authorised?

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • 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.

Morning all. My Mum text last night-he has been caught AGAIN drink driving. So to round up-he got caught, arrested, charged and banned, then got caught 4 days later and was waiting to attend court this Friday i think but hes been caught again last night! My Mum knows because her cousin has been in cahoots with the police and has been telling them every single time she has seen him in the car or rubber necking past the house. They rang her last night to say they were waiting for him in plain clothes and they followed him from pub! He is going to get shot for s**t and im glad. Just wish that they would be so on the ball when it comes to my Mum but apparantly, because shes not actually living with him so not in immediate danger as they put it, they do tend to drag their feet a little but ive spoken to the officer involved and they are going to put something in place. They have done a report and this will be used when my Mum applies for an injunction-shes seeing a solicitor next week!

I'm really pleased he's been caught again. Are they keeping him in custody? With three drink driving offences within a matter of weeks he should be getting a stiff custodial sentence. I wonder if they will have two trials, bearing in mind one is supposed to be tomorrow, or if he can be tried for both offences at the same time, either tomorrow if they get their act together, or in a few days if they apply to postpone tomorrow's case.

 

When you have the trial details I think you should tip off the local press. He needs to be publicly named and shamed so if he gets out and people see him in a pub and then driving they will call the police. No-one wants a repeat drink driving offender on the streets. You never know, that may make him move away from the area - and your mum.

 

Also pleased they are finally doing something to help your mum, but I think their excuse that she is not in immediate danger because she is not living with him is absolutely feeble. Men like this are always dangerous and there is nothing to stop them turning up on the doorstep and forcing entry. "Not in immediate danger." What utter rubbish.

Yes the Police act very quickly when it suits them, but have lost sight of the reason why they became police officers very quickly.

 

There is always the complaints procedure if they don't pull their finger out, and by that I mean the IPCC, they will take a very dim view of them ignoring domestic abuse and harassment cases.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

...especially as they could charge him with an offence.

 

It may be that they are not being proactive at the moment because they expect him to go down for the DD offences, but that's still no excuse.

Yes its true we need drink drivers off the road and I can understand that they want this man off the road as hes a huge risk to the public but what about the risk to my Mum? Yes, apart from his rubber necking and abusive voicemails things seemed to have quietened down since he got caught snooping around on Saturday nught BUT I believe he WILl gi further and as you say, although he may be going down for the D+Ds, they need to do something about my Mum. Ive lost one parent, my Dad is no longer with us God bless him so I dont wana lose Mum too.

If he goes to court, your mum or yourself can speak to the prosecution and see if they will use you as a witness. WE cant say they will or they wont, but its worth doing so.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Ive spoken to victim support and tbh they didnt tell me anything that i havent already been told. They said the best thing to do is go with the injunction and either myself or my Mum needs to contact the police to ask whats happening with this report they were meant to be writing up as that will help with the injunction. As for the D+D-it looks like they have him in custody and are taking him to court tomorrow from the cells. I think they are dealing with both DD episodes. They need to deal with those first then if he gets locked up, an injunction should be in place for when he comes out. Will they charge him for what hes done to my Mum? I think they should and shes willing to press charges but they say no crime has been committed other than when he held the knife to her throat a couple of years ago...

Hi Daniella, sorry 4 late reply, ive been flat out all day! Re D+D- Mum had not heard anything from him for 2 days since he last got caught so thought he had been held in custody then taken to court etc but surprise surprise he rang her last nite off his mobile so obviousley not been locked up! Maybe it was adjourned??really dont know but im gettin annoyed now! BUT i think they HAVE questioned him about Mum. He left her a vocemail last nite, really abrubt sayin 'we need a word, theres no harm in us just talking'. We have been in touch with police again re the report that was meant 2 have been written up and also to ask 4 new incident number which we have been waiting 4 since Monday and they didnt say much but they HAVE given us a crime number now which they didnt befor e as they said it wasnt a criminal case. They couldnt say much but he HAS got form for abuse-his ex partner and his ex wife by the sounds of it so i hope they lock the a***hole up. Mums also had correspondance from domestic violence unit. Officer in charge is supposed to be contacting her today to fill her in on whas been happening but has he? No he hasnt contacted her yet!

If he'd pleaded guilty yesterday they would normally have sentenced him there and then,, but if he pleaded not guilty then they would generally adjourn to a new date. Hopefully not too far in the future, but he is entitled to time to prepare his defence, whatever it might be. If that's what's happened then I doubt he actually has much of a defence and is either hoping to get off because a witness doesn't turn up, or he's just trying to delay the inevitable.

Hi renegadeimp

so do u think, from what ive said about them now giving Mum a crime number, that theyve questioned him? By the sounds of the voicemail he sent and if u read between the lines, i think they have because he said 'theres no harm in us just talking'. When Mum rang 101 today to ask about report etc, she also told them that he had contacted her last night and they seemed to be quite interested and put it on the system. Could this be another sign that they have questioned him and told him to keep away and not to contact her?

By giving you a crime number, they have officially stated that they consider it a criminal activity and it will be investigated.

 

Can i ask if you have spoken to the domestic violence unit yet, or have the police still kept fobbing you off with the normal officers?

I hope that they are taking it seriously now and treating it as criminal case. Mum hasnt had anyone from domestic violence unit come to see her yet. She got a load of paperwork and leaflets through the post today and theyve asked her to contact them but up to now, yes shes been fobbed off with normal plod and theyve not kept in touch with.

Hi matt.so what will happen now that they have officially stated that its a criminal activity? Obviousley they will/already have questioned him but what happens now? Will they keep Mum up to speed or just contact her as and when?

OK. You need to visit the main police station and demand to see someone from the domestic violence unit. Sit at the station and dont leave until someone comes. I would also suggest making a full complaint to the Chief superintendent.

Hi folks,somethings defo going down (him I hope!) with all this with him and the police but nobody knows what. Since Mum reported him for the nasty voicemail he left her 2 days ago theres been no contact again. There was no contact from his d+d arrest on weds up until the voicemail on Friday. When he was arrested on weds, was he questioned about Mum, bailed? Has he breached bail by contacting her on Fri? Nobody knows. But i hope thats the case and its not just the calm before the storm. Im annoyed as i think the police should keep Mum up to speed. She doesnt wana bump into him and find out off him but she doesnt wana pester the plod either. She is contacting domestic violence unit in the morning by the way.

Hi Daniella, sorry 4 taking ages to reply-my internets been going bonkers! Hes definately going to prison with regards to the D+Dkthey have told him to look at 6 months. Hes got no car, no access to any vehicle and hes on bail awaitin court. The police have warned him to stay away from Mum-and he has sone. He still keeps trying to ring every now and then but its few and far between. Shes getting an injunction while hes inside anyway so when he does come out, he cant contact her.

I mean has done lol. Yep, things are looking good for her now. She may be able to move on with her life. He wont come near her now hes no car cos he cant walk far with him being sozzled all the time as he falls over and from his house or his local pub to where Mum lives with her cousin, its a good 3 ish miles so i cant see him walking. And he wont get on the bus just to go sit outside the house so hopefully thats the end of it.
