The resistance of certain politicians to force corporate sponsors to pay their fair share of taxes, in return for large amounts of money and manipulation of information, must be stopped. It is corrupt and means our country is being taken over by rich crooks who respect no laws other than their own. Google, Amazon, Macdonalds, Rupert Murdoch and the like are just a small example of these sponsors.

Date: 9th August 2015 Dear Sirs, I write with regard notice applied for by my landlord for rent arrears. I provide the following defence that a) provides details of process failures by both landlord and letting agent prior to the incident of rent arrears, and b) provides my repayment offer to clear the rent arrears. Please note the following:- History To summarise, there were some failures of process made by both landlord and letting agent:- 1. NPower dispute. Caused by letting agent mixing up gas meter readings. 3 emails provided from communication trail with NPower, Energy Ombudsman and OfGem as evidence of this. 2. Lease extension not properly executed. Evidence attached. 3. Letting agent enter property without my permission. Evidence attached. 4. Landlord not updating Hazelvine of true details, accrued service charges, used my address as her correspondence address. Evidence attached. Below provides a brief timeline of events over the whole tenancy:- 1. 2013 – moved from Address 1 to Address 2. Reason for moving was that I was unhappy with the conditions of previous property and lack of restorative/reparatory work by the landlord. This gave rise to the Requirements for Accommodation checklist (evidence item 1). Let me expand on issues with this previous accommodation:- a. Jan 2004 – moved to Address 1. b. 21st August 2009 – property sold from Landlord 1 to Landlord 2. Informed in writing of this, ref Appendix A of MMCN0140. c. 6th December 2010 – report made to Landlord 2 of defective shower, ref MMCN0061. d. 11th June 2011 – offer made to Landlord 2 to refurbish Address 1, ref MMCN0109 as something other than residential. e. 10th August 2011 – further offer made to Landlord 2 to refurbish 18A Parson Street, ref MMCN0121. f. 16th December 2011 – complaint made about conditions of property to Landlord 2 ref MMCN0140. Bristol City Council copied in on correspondence. No action was taken to rectify these reported issues. g. 22nd February 2013 – 2nd complaint made to Landlord 2 ref MMCN0186. No action was taken to rectify these reported issues. h. 17th August 2013 – notice given to landlord 2 ref MMCN0191. Notice letter made reference to 2 complaint letters. 2. 14th September 2013 – I officially moved into 91 Parson Street. Relations with letting agent were good, i.e. Agent 1, Agent 2, Agent 3, Agent 4. 3. When I first moved in, I noticed a discrepancy with the gas bill. I had 9 months of correspondence with NPOwer, Energy Ombudsman and OfGem to get this corrected. The reason for the discrepancy was that the letting agents had mixed up gas meter readings between my property and another. I have all this correspondence and can use as evidence if required, I enclose a CD of this correspondence and relevant documents. 4. Quarterly inspections were carried out at the planned times Agent 2 with myself present. Good reports were provided to landlord via letting agent. 5. Sep 2014 – Portfolio Manager changed without notice from Agent 2 to Agent 5. 6. Sep 2014 – Planned inspection for 30/9/2014 cancelled without sufficient notice, i.e. same day. Inspection rearranged for new date, then on that date, was informed she got the date mixed up with another inspection and had already been into property to inspect and had sent the report. The inspection report sent to landlady was fine. Letting agent entered property without my permission. I can provide email of letting agent admitting this. 7. Sep 2014 – there was some toing and froing with the 12 month tenancy extension. I did sign and return the lease agreement as requested, but was returned without letting agent signature. Although, signing of the new agreement should not have been via post but in person such that the witness signature can be put on at that time, no appointment was made to do this. Lease agreement extension paperwork not properly completed. I can provide emails of correspondence where I wanted to sort out. 8. I have copy of agreement signed by myself. 9. Dec 2014 – found out about landlord not informing Hazelvine of her proper address and of arrears with service charges amounting to approximately £1,000. I have paperwork providing 3 separate addresses for the landlady, i.e.. original lease agreement signed under witness 14/4/2013 states her address as Marshalls Drive, then 12 month extension for Sep 2014 (which would have taken me to Sep 2015) states address as Henrietta House, Haringey, then I now have paper work (Sec 21) stating address as Carlton Lodge, London. 10. Dec 2014 – I informed Hazelvine of the landlord address to what I had on lease agreement paperwork as Henrietta House. Landlord not updating Hazelvine of details, therefore they defaulted to last known address, i.e. my own address. I have an email from Hazelvine solicitors. 11. I subsequently reported this to Action Fraud as it looked suspicious, and had I not, the service charge arrears could have continued to accrue in my opinion. I informed Ocean of my Action Fraud report ref letter MMCN0200. 12. After advice sought from the Citizens Advice Bureau, I wrote to the landlady at the last known address with regard rent arrears and making arrangements to clear these with herself, and continue leasing the property maintaining good landlord/tenant relations. 13. I informed Bristol City Council tenancy relations of the issues I was having. 14. I requested that she phone me or email me with regard all of this by Monday 25th May 2015. I have not heard from her, and sought further advice from the Citizens Advice Bureau on Wednesday 27th May 2015.

Currently those with colinic/bowel disorders and who have a permanent condition as a result of this are rejected from the Blue Badge scheme. Granted that this is true of many others as well, but ostomates usually have to carry with them a set of spares (from clothing to appliances) and having easy and close access to these would be a huge relief, especially in an emergency. Believe me, walking through a supermarket car park knowing that you clothes are soiled is not pleasant, and being able to be back at the car and safety would be a huge physical and psychological benefit. Likewise, many ostomates end up with hernias as a result of their surgery, meaning that carrying heavy items and distance can be challenging if not actually harmful, let alone the issues of having to stack/pack these into a boot or onto a back seat. There are over 100,000 ostomates in the UK currently who have to fend for themselves (I speak as one of these). Seeing others abuse the scheme of course makes one think that it should be tightened, but not to the exclusion of those with genuine needs.

FRAUD ON THE COURT IN BRIEF: Those instigating Fraud on the Court do not pay the court’s fees to obtain fake warrants or court’s orders used to deprive law abiding citizens stealing properties, land, money and assets. Invalid court’s papers are then used to secure unlawful entry and adverse occupation of residential premises by means of violence combined with the creation of a sense of authenticity through the invention of false court’s documents which appear to be factual. Fraud on the Court involves (with intent) a serious abuse of the court’s process and “contempt of court” (Common Law). The victims are routinely ignored by the already overstretched police and other law enforcement bodies who are unable to investigate thoroughly and independently. No matter what undeniable evidence is provided, there is no redress for the victims who are told that this scam is ‘it’s a civil matter’. It is a matter of fact that when victims DO REPORT this crime NO ONE INVESTIGATES. The only option left is to go back in the hands of the same staff in courts who are perpetrating the scam. FRAUD BY CONCEALMENT: The victims are denied inspection and copies of data from the court’s file which remain concealed. Victims are also crucially denied access to and release of the computerised court records where all the documents and interactions with the court of any party into the proceedings are recorded. The nature, extent and sophistication of this fraud, is far beyond the comprehension and reach of the average litigant in person and law enforcement officers by the police force. We are asking for the full support of: All Her Majesty the Queen’s servants who are designated to ensure a fair and just society against this serious organised crime. We are demanding urgently a Public Inquiry to investigate fully and independently the seriousness of the crimes involved by using Fraud on the Court. The non-payment of the court’s fee is not only a major deception and fraud on the on the public purse but also on the individual. This theft on the public happens in a time when the UK court’s system is crying for more funds. The recent sharp increase in the court’s fees have already reduced considerably the access to justice for the most vulnerable that cannot afford to pay. Fraud upon the court is devastating for the victims waiting and hoping to receive relief from the courts. The victims lose their homes, their assets, their jobs, their companies and ultimately their liberty and health in breach of their fundamental statutory rights. This adds burden on the already struggling NHS and Social Security systems whilst the income from many tax payers is lost. This scam is often used by banks, legal professionals, private companies, and dishonest landlords and council officers aided by court’s officers. Meanwhile criminal convictions and assets stripping founded on complex illegalities and irregularities send every day honest hardworking families and people left penniless and homeless in the streets begging for help. Innocent families and people are held hostage with children and frail old people ending up homeless and traumatised as victims of Fraud on the Court. Those few victims of Fraud on the Court who persist in chasing justice are being passed between agencies without any result or redress. Stealing from people is a crime. Taking away their assets and homes making people homeless with Fraud on the Court is a very serious and sophisticated crime for which there is no defence for the victims. Fraud of any kind is a crime and Fraud on the Court is one of the worst. An unpunished crime encourages new ones. Those committing Fraud on the Court are still there and get away with impunity. It is only a matter of time before someone you know will become the next victim. In the public interest, in order to strengthen the fairness, accountability and transparency and in name of justice join by signing this petition for a Public Inquiry and ask for the Parliament’s full support to investigate and stop the Fraud on the Court in the UK. Any person who believes to be a victim of Fraud on the Court can send their opinions contacting UK PEOPLE at a new email address to come as ODDLY our 1st email address has been hacked and the account disappeared mysteriously from Google.....Strange he.... ?!?

This is important because many young people are being taken advantage of through these types of apprenticeships that require no skis to lean and can be completed in as short as time as two months. There are companies who are keeping individuals on for longer to earn the funding and gain cheep or free labour. This is unfair and unjust because these apprenticeships are meant to teach you new skills and offer you a chance at progressing. These types of apprenticeships give you next to none of those. This is what happened during my apprenticeship. My original tutor was let go because they entered into an agreement to keep me there for over a year so the company could earn the funding as they were struggle with money, I was told this by my new tutor. I was on three pounds per hour for nearly six months, being told they would promote me to a supervisor position because of my hard work and dedication. This never happened, there was no progression and I learned nothing new about the customer service industry. After my apprenticeship had ended I felt a lack of confidence in myself due to the amount I had been exploited in my place of work. After seeing a documentary two years later I learnt the horrid truth of the sheer amount of companies that set up these apprenticeship schemes, taking full advantage of young, vulnerable individuals. I feel that these types of action should are going against the purpose of apprenticeship schemes. These schemes are are being used against young people, lowering their confidence, prolonging training to enhance profits whilst maintaining false promises. The skills in a customer service role such as retail, hospitality and administration take weeks to learn not a full year. Please let us only allow apprenticeships that can develope young people into supervisors, managers or teach them a trade whilst nurturing their confidence and knowledge.

Cambridge City Council made a commitment to a fossil free future in October 2015, pledging to end investment in fossil fuels and carbon-heavy buildings. This was done with cross-party supported and formed part of a global movement for divestment from harmful fossil fuels. http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/Landmark-pledges-sees-Cambridge-City-Council/story-28044516-detail/story.html Around the same time, the executive councillor for Finance and Strategy agreed to a deal with the Eastern Procurement Purchasing Organisation to take over energy supply to the council. At this point, the opportunity to make a deal with suppliers who deal exclusively in renewable energy was lost. However, there will still be a chance for the executive councillor to choose between a 100% renewables tariff and a non-renewables tariff, before the deal is finalised. It's worth noting that all suppliers are obliged to provide around 30% of their energy from renewable sources under the Renewables Obligation rules, but most of the major suppliers charge extra for this energy anyway. http://www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/domestic/buying-green-electricity Cambridge City Council currently consumes approximately 10,000,000 kWh of gas and approximately 8,000,000 kWh of electricity per annum. This equates to around £260,000 for gas and £1,000,000 for electricity on the current contract. Finally, the current executive councillor for Finance and Resources is standing down in May, so there is certain to be a new councillor in this role who comes to the role with the freedom to change things. The incumbent has shown little appetite for environmental concerns, claiming for example that a target of going zero-carbon by 2050 was ambitious when it is a bare minimum under the terms of the COP21 agreement in Paris. The new executive may be open to persuasion and a strong petition on this particular matter will help.

Queens Park is a community friendly park located in Glasgow's southside. It is used and loved by families, dog walkers, nature enthusiasts and children on a daily basis. Surrounded by schools and several diverse neighbourhoods this park is the heart of these communities. The most recent attack on a young woman is hugely upsetting and potentially, avoidable. In June 2016, I met with Glasgow City Council officials as a result of this campaign at that time. Their answer was 'no' to lighting for the park. This latest incident is one of a series of attacks over the years. Yet in Glasgow Green - 2 miles or so away- there is night time lighting that helps more people using the park feel safer. As anyone in Scotland will attest the days can be short and daylight scarce. Avoiding a community park after dark is not always an option. These incidences and attacks could be reduced or eliminated by proper lighting on footpaths and major thoroughfares crossing the park. I have created this petition to ask Glasgow City Council to install PROPER and sufficient lighting on these routes to fully light these paths and effectively increase the safety of everyone using Queen's Park.

British Red Cross is eager to sell our Knutsford War Memorial to McCarthy & Stone, which has stated it will sign the final document as soon as it has Cheshire East Council permission to DEMOLISH our Knutsford War Memorial. In the centre of commemorations for those who lost their lives during the Great War, our Community's Knutsford War Memorial, is being put up for sale for DEMOLITION, by the British Red Cross, which documents seem to show, was paid £275,000 to move in during 1995. (Yes that transaction is the wrong way round. We should all hope to buy our homes in such a way) British Red Cross has, I understand, not paid rent for that property during the subsequent 22 years. Nor has it paid any money to buy it. In any case it was not for sale. Some time ago (6/7 years?) it removed the (NHS agreed?) elderly day services and the nursery. The Community of this area has certainly NOT agreed - and not been consulted - about this proposed taking for demolition of its own community property. Knutsford War Memorial - our community-built-and-paid-for, war memorial - needs to be returned into the hands of the community which raised the funds pay for it.. and subsequently to extend it, for use of the local community. No Secretary of State for Health - nor any of his subsequent NHS Agents - had the right to take our War Memorial. Its all in the title - 'Health'. There was - on the other hand - a duty, when they ran our hospital, to preserve our War Memorial and to allow ongoing access to our War Memorial.. until it was returned, fully, to the hands of this Community in and around Knutsford. This Community has never been approached nor has it agreed to sell our War Memorial, which is the physical recognition by this Community of our war - and other - losses over the last century of wars.

It is stressful for people to have to drive around, for example with a sick relative, or going to work, going for treatment or trying to visit a loved one. Imagine how you feel if you are a grandmother, taking your grandchild to hospital after he/she sustains a painful injury only to find yourself looking for a parking space for 40 minutes. You find a space but have a twenty minute walk, carrying one child, another child in hand. You have a long wait for treatment then get two fretful children back to your car. It has been bashed, and you have a parking ticket. Yes, this really did happen. The effects of that experience stayed with the grandmother for days after the event. Imagine taking a loved one for exhausting radiotherapy. You drive round and round. You and your loved one end up with stress over and above the anticipatory stress about the treatment. This happens at every visit. Imagine trying to get to work. You cannot car share. You have children and carers to drop off/pick up before your shift starts. You get a parking space eventually, you rush a fifteen minute walk before your shift begins, but find the inevitable parking ticket at the end of your shift. People do not live simple hassle free lives in today's world. These example do not fit with government policy in relation to exercise, or reducing pollution. These situation do not harmonise with policy to improve well-being. We need action now.

We cannot have animals being sold on social network sites alongside second hand furniture, we must know where our animals have come from, any illnesses, who their parents are, and make sure animals aren't bought and sold for sport. There is no history regarding these poor animals, and no checks in place to make sure the people buying them are capable of looking after these animals. Barring these poor animals from Gumtree & all marketplace websites would make it so much harder for people to abuse these sites to sell ill animals, or to gain access to animals to use as bait or for sport.

In an allegation of assault or aggravated burglary the witnesses and victims do not currently have automatic anonymity and therefore put themselves at extreme risk of retribution from the family and friends of the perpetrators of the crime who may decide to take the law into their own hands. The law as it stands provides no real incentive for people to do their civic duty. Giving evidence from a remote location would avoid innocent witnesses and victims having to endure the fear and real danger posed by visiting a courtroom where the perpetrators of the crime and their family and friends are present - this should be an automatic right rather than a privilege. The principle of open justice can act as a bar to successful prosecutions because of the natural fear a witness may have in the case of a gun or knife or other violent crime so if the default position in these cases was changed to one where the Police and or CPS should have to apply for open proceedings rather than the existing system where the onus is upon the witness to declare their fear then potentially more people would be willing to testify. Safety aside, the impact on the long term wellbeing of victims of violent crimes and their families in crimes of this type may not be fully understood and certainly may be underestimated. The CPS guidance on this matter talks of the police establishing whether a witness is in fear, yet this may only become apparent once the proceedings are in train and may be exacerbated by the behaviour of the defendants and their families and contacts during the proceedings. In instances like this, it is too late to offer protection – the names of the witnesses have already been disclosed; the witnesses may well have been seen by defendants, their families and associates, because of the poor design of many Courts. The ECHR should serve everyone; the current system seems to favour the protection of one group at the expense of the other. Victims of violent crime have already suffered at the hands of their perpetrators. The purpose of a court of law is to establish whether a crime has been committed and whether those accused were indeed the perpetrators and we, rightly in my view, have a presumption of innocence until guilt is proved but I am not sure how an innocent man or woman would be disadvantaged if they didn’t know the names of the witnesses but relied upon their counsel to interrogate a witness via , for example, a live link to a remote location with the witnesses behind a screen thus serving the purposes of justice and the protection of the innocent.

In a recent statement, Christine Blower, General Secretary of the National Union of Teachers, said “Teachers’ workload is currently at unprecedented levels and is driving many teachers from the profession. Our latest survey shows that 48% of primary teachers, 61% of secondary teachers, and 49% of leadership members are considering leaving the profession within the next two years. These should be alarming figures for the Education Secretary. Such a ticking time bomb simply can’t be ignored." (See more at: http://www.teachers.org.uk/news-events/conference-2016/workload-dfe-working-group-reports#sthash.UAKpV2Go.dpuf) One excellent primary school teacher told me that for her the crunch came when her eight-year-old daughter bought an alarm clock and set it for 6am so that she could get to see her mother: who had been working 65 hour weeks in a school in special measures. Teachers are, on the whole, a dedicated and caring group who will always be willing to go the extra mile for the sake of the children: but what is being asked of them is not only impossibly time-consuming but utterly counter-productive, stealing valuable teaching time and preventing more creative approaches which would do far more to improve children's motivation and progress. The excessive - one might almost say paranoid - amount of testing, assessment and accountability is recognised by parents to be unhelpful, stressful for children and unnecessary. Any teacher worth their salt is well able to give an accurate assessment of a child: equally, or more accurate and comprehensive than any one-off test. (A recent article on Finnish schools in The Week demonstrated very good results from minimal testing.) It is welcome news that the Government has conducted a survey into teachers' workloads, prompting 44,000 responses from teachers, which recognises the extent of the problem: and it is most encouraging to know that Nicky Morgan is on side. Announcing the plans to the NASUWT teachers’ union conference in Birmingham, Mrs Morgan, the first Conservative Education Secretary to speak at a union’s conference in nearly two decades, said: “Nothing is more damaging to the profession than wasting the passion and expertise of teachers and school leaders on unnecessary tasks. “That’s why I’m publishing the results of the three workload review groups on marking, planning and data collection – the three biggest concerns raised by teachers through the workload challenge. These reports are a great example of the profession taking charge of their own development and I want them to make a difference to the lives of teachers. “I am pleased to say I am accepting all the recommendations for government in full.” (Read more: http://www.northumberlandgazette.co.uk/news/local-news/mp-hails-plans-to-cut-teachers-workloads-1-7847559#ixzz45tPis7CX) Nicky Morgan has pledged to monitor the situation to ensure that this report is not allowed simply to be a 'word document' but a tool with power to change a tragic and unnecessarily damaging situation. Please sign up to encourage her to do this. And it's urgent: children are being sold short and so many teachers broken. And many more are likely to vote with their feet. Please sign now.
