    • Hi I have to agree with @unclebulgaria67 post#3 For the funding side of moving to a new area and it being private supported accommodation I would also suggest speaking to private supported accommodation provider about funding but also contact the Local Council for that area and have a chat with them about funding because if you are in receipt of Housing Benefit certain Supported Accommodation that meets a certain criteria is treated as ‘exempt accommodation’ for Housing Benefit purposes but you need to confirm this with that relevant Council in your new area especially since it is Private Supported Accommodation as each Council can have slightly different rules on this. If you have a certain medical condition look up the charities and also have a wee chat with them as they may be able to point you to different Grants to assist with moving costs and your question about funding for private supported accommodation as well.
    • Hi Just to be clear a Notice to Quit is only the very start of the Housing Association going down the Eviction route there is a long process to go. Also to be clear if you leave at the Notice to Quit date only and go to the Council claiming you are Homeless they will more than likely class you as Intentionally Homeless therefore you have no right to be given temporary housing by the Council. The only way that works is when the Court has Granted a Possession Order then you can approach the Council as Homeless with the Court Order. As for the Housing Association issuing the Notice to Quit because there investigation has proved it's not your main residence but you have witness statement to prove otherwise. From now on with the Housing Association you need to keep a very good paper trail and ensure to get free proof of posting from the post office with anything you send to them. You now need to make a Formal Complaint to the Housing Association and please amend the following to suit your needs:   Dear Sir/Madam FORMAL COMPLAINT Reference: Notice to Quit Letter Dated XX/XX/2024, Hand Delivered on XX/XX/2024 I note in your letter that you stated that the Housing Association has carried out an investigation into myself and came to the conclusion that I am not using this property as my main residence and have evidence of this and have therefore issued a 'Notice to Quit' by XX/XX/2024. I find the above actions absolutely disgraceful action by the Housing Association. 1. Why have I never been informed nor asked about this matter by my Housing Officer. 2. Why have I never been given the opportunity to defend myself before the Housing Association out of the blue Hand Delivered a Notice to Quit Letter. 3. I have evidence and witnesses/statements that prove this is my Main Residence and more than willing provide this to both the Housing Association and the Court. I now require the following: 1. Copy of your Complaints Policy (not the leaflet) 2. Copy of your Customer Care Charter (not the leaflet) 3. Copies of your Investigation into this not being my main residence.    As well as the above you need to send the Housing Association urgently a Subject Access Request (SAR) requesting 'ALL DATA' that simple phrase covers whatever format they hold that in whether it be letters, email, recorded calls etc. The Housing Association then has 30 calendar days to respond but that time limit only starts once they acknowledge your SAR Request. If they fail to respond within that time limit its then off with a complaint to the Information Commissioners Office (ICO).     
    • Hi Sorry for the delay in getting back to you The email excuse and I do say excuse to add to your account and if court decide LL can't recoup costs will be removed is a joke. So I would Ask them: Ask them to provide you with the exact terms within your Tenancy Agreement that allows them to add these Court Fees to your Account before it has been decided in Court by a Judge. Until the above is answered you require these Court Fees to be removed from your Account (Note: I will all be down to your Tenancy Agreement so have a good look through it to see what if any fees they can add to your account in these circumstances)
    • Thank you for your responses. As requested, some more detail. Please forgive, I'm writing this on my phone which always makes for less than perfect grammar. My Dad tries but English not his 1st language, i'm born and bred in England, a qualified accountant and i often help him with his admin. On this occasion I helped my dad put in his renewal driving licence application around 6 weeks before expiry and with it the disclosure of his sleep apnoea. Once the licence expired I told him to get in touch with his GP, because the DVLA were offering only radio silence at that time (excuses of backlogs When I called to chase up). The GP charged £30 for an opinion letter on his ability to drive based on his medical history- at the time I didn't take a copy of the letter, but I am hoping this will be key evidence that we can rely on as to why s88 applies because in the GP opinion they saw no reason he couldn't drive i need to see the letter again as im going only on memory- we forwarded the letter in a chase up / complaint to the DVLA.  In December, everything went quiet RE the sleep apnoea (i presume his GP had given assurance) but the DVLA noticed there had been a 2nd medical issue in the past, when my father suffered a one off mini stroke 3 years prior. That condition had long been resolved via an operation (on his brain of all places, it was a scary time, but he came through unscathed) and he's never had an issue since. We were able to respond to that query very promptly (within the 14 days) and the next communication was the licence being granted 2 months later. DVLA have been very slow in responding every step of the way.  I realise by not disclosing the mini stroke at the time, and again on renewal (had I known I'd have encouraged it) he was potentially committing an offence, however that is not relevant to the current charge being levied, which is that he was unable to rely on s88 because of a current medical issue (not one that had been resolved). I could be wrong, I'm not a legal expert! The letter is a summons I believe because its a speeding offence (59 in a temp roadworks 50 limit on the A1, ironically whist driving up to visit me). We pleaded guilty to the speeding but not guilty to the s87.  DVLA always confirmed to me on the phone that the licence had not been revoked and that he "May" be able to continue to drive. They also confirmed in writing, but the letter explains the DVLA offer no opinion on the matter and that its up to the driver to seek legal advice. I'll take the advice to contact DVLA medical group. I'm going to contact the GP to make sure they received the SAR request for data, and make it clear we need to see a copy of the opinion letter. In terms of whether to continue to fight this, or to continue with the defence, do we have any idea of the potential consequences of either option? Thanks all

    • 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.

It's entirely false to assume that, because a bout of Covid seems mild or asymptomatic, it cannot leave lasting damage.
Young people, especially the under-30s, are very unlikely to die from the infection itself – but they are by no means exempt from what follows.
Figures show around one in ten people aged 18-49 go on to develop long-term symptoms after having the virus, regardless of how unwell they were initially.

Furthermore, around one in nine people aged 17-24 and one in six aged 25-34 still report symptoms 12 weeks after testing positive"

 

"The speed at which it has all been done is part of the marvel. Trials that would normally take many years have been accomplished in weeks, because such vast resources have been made available.

But no corners were cut. All the various vaccines – AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Moderna and the rest – had to undergo rigorous safety checks."

Absolute miss-presented rubbish from the anti-vaxer again

 

First, I have NEVER peddled that 'natural immunity' was next to useless - thats not just a lie, given what vaccination actually does in priming a persons natural immune system, including weakened immune systems - its a simply stupid lie.

 

I also note you dont link anything with your claim of 'xxx suspected adverse reactions - no surprise there as:

- they largely report anything under the 'suspected adverse reactions', and the vast majority of which are nothing of the sort

 

... and then your two unsupported 'instances compared to the detailed studies I linked proving otherwise'

 

So @theoldrouge

when did these feeling of paranoia and persecution start?

and how long did it take for them to grow to such an extent that you scour the internet for the rare and obscure items; no matter how fascile; that can be twisted to apparently support your delusions.,

... Or even just make them up?

 

Why do you deny the facts, even when actually declared by someone (Angus Dalgleish) you linked yourself in support of your delusional thinking?

 

Tell me, when you think of your mother, do these thoughts grow stronger or weaker?

Thats a misinterpretation - as usual

 

My statement was that getting Covid PLUS a vaccination was better than just getting covid and 'natural immunity'

- as supported in many many studies which found that vaccination added to natural/prior infection immunity and was is most cases 'better'

and NOT that 'natural infection/natural resistance was useless

A key issue as we move closer to ending the pandemic is determining more precisely how long people exposed to SARS-CoV-2, the COVID-19 virus...

 

A third difference is that natural infection only exposes the body to the virus in the respiratory tract (unless the illness is very severe), while the vaccine is delivered to muscle, where the immune system may have an even better chance of seeing it and responding vigorously.

 

there is a wide range in antibody titers in response to infection with SARS-CoV-2, completion of a primary vaccine series, especially with mRNA vaccines, typically leads to a more consistent and higher-titer initial antibody response.

That vaccination is a personal choice, I agree with

But inflicting the risks associated with that choice on others is a far more complex issue. 

 

example with covid out of the picture:

Should a person with rampant syphilis be allowed to practice wrestling with an unknowing opponent?

- It is of course their personal choice if they don't take antibiotics, but is it their personal choice to risk infecting others?

What I meant by all vaccines are experimental, is that the trials before approval can only check for safety risk and effectiveness within the representative testing trial group. Then once a vaccine is approved and jabs start going into people's arms, the real experiment begins.

 

A small percentage may have side effects and reports of these are closely monitored. The actual effectiveness of the vaccine is measured. Do people still get Covid? And if so, what symptoms do they have and level of severity?  What strains of Covid are people getting? Did the vaccine offer protection?   There will be a long list of questions.

 

It can take a very long time, before any vaccine has full sign off in regard the level of effectiveness. All of the studies so far will be initial findings, but many of these will go on for years to come. Covid is still mutating and therefore the research is ongoing.

We could do with some help from you.

@tobyjugg2   Mostly personal choice is UK, but there are exceptions, where vaccinations are needed, and health conditions must be disclosed, or actions taken.

 

Yes, for some professions there are legal requirements, as the risk is too great. e.g., a Hospital surgeon is required to have some vaccinations from what i understand and they could not conduct their work without them.

 

Go on holiday to some countries and vaccinations are required to travel to them.

 

Chefs cannot work, if they know they have norovirus.

There's a huge amount of news coming out about Covid management now. The Times says the government paid twice as much for Michelle Mone's masks as they could have through other companies. The exact same masks by the same manufacturer - half the price elsewhere.

 

Door Matt's account of how he saved the country from the virus has been described as 'delusional'. Jolyon Maugham has suggested it should go for a Booker prize for fiction and wonders if the personal diary quotes are made up for the book. They don't seem to tally with other accounts of what happened.

Its a difficult question HB,

So the Chinese type face masks and I can understand the eye goggles

- along with meticulous cleaning of the hands as we all regularly poke our mouths, noses and eyes without realising it.

Health secretary Matt Hancock last night told a BBC Question Time audience the government were working with supermarkets to make sure food supplies were uninterrupted during the coronavirus outbreak.

But according to the BBC’s business editor Simon Jack, at least one supermarket executive is not convinced there has been any contact from the government.
Jack told BBC News: “They got touch saying they were slightly baffled by Matt Hancock’s remarks last night because they said they had heard nothing at all from government directly. And they had … rung around to others and they had the same story.”

He added: “In their words not mine, ‘Matt Hancock has totally made up that he has been working with supermarkets’.”
 
Tweeting about it after going on air, Jack said a supermarket source had got in touch to say Defra was “now in contact and trying to make it look like they are very actively engaged”.

and who remembers all the claims by populist ministers and their shills that UK testing capacity was up to 160,000 180,000, 240,000, 500,000  a day

- when they were only actually testing around 60,000 a day and no-one could book tests

- or were offered tests hundreds of miles away, which weren't available when people rang to check (let alone that they shouldn't be traipsing across country - despite returnees from China doing so in Jan/Feb/March

Britain’s embarrassing Excel spreadsheet blunder

In the latest stumble for Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s beleaguered test-and-trace program, nearly 16,000 positive test results for the coronavirus between Sept. 25 and Oct. 2 were improperly recorded, because of a routine data-entry error — Excel files containing the names of people who tested positive were too large to transfer to a central computer system.

As well as producing an artificially low picture of the virus’s spread and delaying efforts to trace those at risk, the botched numbers resulted in yet more criticism for the Johnson government.

More than 57,000 people have died from the virus in Britain, the highest number in Europe. The country is now facing a second wave of infections.

- NYT

 

 

Looks like the 'upgrade of capacity' - literally in the spreadsheet  ..

 

- the spreadsheet updated presumably so Johnson and Handcock were only misleading rather than outright lying about 'capacity' went a bit wrong - leaving them as liars, deceivers and utterly incompetent .. rather than 'just' deceivers.

Seems MS excel managed but they forgot to upgrade the trace a test system

- apparently causing a mismatch which then wasn't trapped.

Thats surely one of the most effluent 'harse before the cart statements ever, even for you isn't it?

 

There is MORE than ample evidence that:

* Children do catch Covid and ARE infected, and can and do spread covid despite reduced symptoms

* Only the younger children 'tend' to have reduced severe symptoms - and only 'tends' NOT assured

* Children are still infected and despite many sneezing and coughing LESS/Less violently on average than older people - which is the basis for reduced transmission claims - transmission still occurs - especially with Covid being so high in the respiratory system. Reduced is NOT removed.

* What value reduced transmission once introduced into enclosed environments like schools and family homes?

 

So:

Given the UK governments claimed capacity of 300,000 tests per day even without the new 90 minute tests etc

and stats (when you can get them) showing barely 50,000ish  a day actually being 'effectively tested

 

... That leaves (based on Johnson and handcocks official claims) unused/ineffectively used 'spare' capacity of around a quarter of a million tests a day going spare

.. around 1.75 million tests a week not 'effectively used

... even without the new 90 minute tests

 

Enough 'spare' capacity already claimed to be there to test every school child once a month

even without the new tests or the necessary increasing of testing capacity ready for winter and this, let alone the next outbreak.

 

It is a simple fact that even with the above, Johnsons 'world beating' test and trace would be still failing short of the capacity needed even for the MINIMUM needed regular tests (eg care homes, schools, airports, frontline workers

but stopping spending the (£10B+ so far) money wasted on his serco etc private pals profits and population data grab - and spending it on competent testing and tracing could readily sort that..

- prevention is surely better than a cure and ALWAYS better than no cure

 

and anyway, What better use of tax payer money than educating, feeding and protecting children and protecting the families?

so seems utterly clear to me that NOT testing children and teachers and NOT quickly managing any potential outbreaks in schools IS beyond criminal.

 

Of course, Johnson and Handcock could be lying through their teeth about actual capacity, but lies aren't excuses for failures, let alone justifications to lie and fail more.

... Capacity '65,000 lines with 13 year old spreadsheet software

with 15,000 plus 'truncated ... aka around 80,000 positive tests is well beyond the systems 'capacity

... and its 6 months in before they realise that in the '300,000 a day 'capacity' system

... perhaps in line with the the falling availability of tests due to the supply chain issues for chemicals

Its not just brain shrinkage,

High number of reports that Covid infection causes erectile dysfunction and penis shrinkage

 

WWW.NEWSWEEK.COM

A man has claimed that he lost over an inch in size from his penis as some urologists link COVID to erectile dysfunction.

 

"Ashley G. Winter, a urologist at the Kaiser Permanente healthcare company, also spoke on the podcast to state that negative effects of COVID on the penis may be to do with something called endothelial dysfunction—a term referring to impaired functioning of the lining of blood vessels.

This relates to the penis and erections because erections are blood flow events."

Michelle Mone has taken leave of absence from the Lords to 'clear her name' of unfair allegations. A Labour humble address is likely to force HMG to give papers on Medpro dealings to the Public Accounts Committee.

 

She's attended the  Lords five times in seven years, I think it is and last voted in late April, shortly before the raid by the NCA.

 

Potentially it seems she could lose her title or have to leave the Lords.

More on Mone from the Beeb.

 

What's this about? Her request could be rejected by the Lords authorities - but if it is approved she does not have to register any changes to her financial interests.

Baroness Mone is accused of benefitting from a company she recommended for a Covid contract.
