ALLOWED TO BE FULL OF SHITE

Well what do you know?

It is Atos again in a story that is told right here in the North West and in the Liverpool Echo.

Atos found that a councillor, or two, were standing outside their offices giving out advice and leaflets, I think, to disabled people going in to be assessed.

Now one of these people asked the unusual helper if they would accompany them to their assessment and that is when Atos .. well basically lost it and refused .. coming out with bullshit and lies in the process.

Huh? That is funny as they are normally quick to accuse others of that .. despite it being peanuts they receive when compared to the money that Atos and its staff receive.

I guess being a little dishonest when your poor or disabled is a capital crime but being totally full of shit dishonest while making people's lives a misery or abruptly ending their lives altogether is perfectly OK when your a company worth billions?

They had the fucking audacity to claim later on that they were investigating!

What is interesting about this particular news article is that it actually states that Atos was appointed under Labour. Or Tony Blair to be specific which is one of many reasons I went from really liking the man to utterly despising him.

So many people and victims seem to be under the impression that Atos is a Tory thing when this is simply not true as pointed out in this article.

I thought I had managed to get the kicked out of their contract, though to be perfectly honest I never expected anything to improve for anyone and that things would carry on as before but with a different name and a different company. Then Maxima .. Maximus .. Maxi Priest, or whatever it is called, popped up and then Capita started to do stuff along these lines too.

Yeah well when you want absolutely everyone off disability benefits and incapacity benefits of all kinds just one or two companies cheating and lying to get everyone they see off benefits is simply not enough.

I am interested to see what they say when someone puts it to them eventually that it is actually impossible to have nobody with disabilities, other than the plainly obvious, or nobody with incapacitating illnesses? Because mathematically it simply does not work.

But I am sure that the powers that be will come up with some bullshit .. obviously forgetting that they have that with the introduction of the Internet more and more people communicate with each other and immediately at times not just all around Liverpool, in this instance, but around the coutry and around the globe.

I bet they have not stopped to think about what lying, cheating, heartless dumb-fucks they actually look like to a great many people and that this number of people is increasing all the time.

Christ even TV celebrities are tarting to state that everyone is treated like shit and they do not just mean people out of work or on benefits but people working too.

Take a look for yourself ..

What are the odds that another statement about getting rid of Atos will come out eventually and that nothing will ever come of it or people will realise it is not just Atos but is systemic to the entire system. Indeed to the entire government and on both sides.

THE LONG TIME DYING

Ever since I got here in the North West I've been slowly dying. Or at least it has felt like that at times.

As a result of this everything has taken forever to do and there still is stuff to be done.

Some of these are mistakes made by public services who are so fucking incompetent is not true. Oh I'm sure when the time chives they will have all their excuses and I will simply utter one word "Computers .. bitch!" OK .. two words.

It's nothing short of hilarious how they all now expect members of the public to have computers and smart-phones but when it suits them they will claim these are luxury devices.

I'll have a few words for that two-faced approach too "21st Century .. bitch!"

I've had what seems like a cold type virus and it seems to dip down into bad from time to time. I can tell you now that yesterday .. it was the worst ..

It felt as if I'd consumed four or five pints of beer. My vision was delayed when I moved my head and I was dizzy as fuck. I also threw up a lot, which is the fourth time I've done that since getting here.

I managed to set up a Patreon account which I've linked into most of my blogs but not my YouTube channel as yet.

I've also managed to finally and successfully put in a claim for Universal Credit to get back my rent and the payments they cheated me out of and I still have to look into the NEA claim they pulled at the thirteenth hour too.

I still have belongings in storage I've not been able to get back to London to retrieve.

Annoyingly this will take more than one trip too so it's frustrating.

But I've decided I'm going to be more .. ruthless and going to decide to get rid of things .. like my second and old mountain bike for starters.

It's impossible for me to keep track of all the things I had to do, some I didn't expect to have to do until a week ago.

What with my short term memory problem, doggedly stubborn flu virus, being in unknown surroundings and being surrounded by many children it was impossible to get everything done!

Despite the illness, not to mention the return of the chest pain that showed up on my blood pressure monitor as an irregular heart beat, I've managed to get things done.

What remains is a driver's licence renewal, passport and registering at a Doctor's surgery.

In the case of the latter I sincerely hope that the surgery closest to me is not one with stupid rules and jobsworths for reception staff blind to the stupidity. For instance asking everyone to phone in at 8am for an appointment that day?! Yeah I heard of one around here that does that .. sorry but, no! I've heard of this before and people complain that they don't get through or do so too late. Stupid!

Then you have to consider people with sleep disorders or even rushing to work at that time.

Then of course there is the problem of taking a day off work assuming your going to get through to make an appointment.

Fail to do so and it's two days or possibly more off work just to get to a Doctor's appointment?!

What's been my experience is that reception staff have been somewhat uppety in the past and talk like their procedures and rules are not only perfect but that it's the same in all GP surgeries. No .. just, no.

Also I've noticed something else about Universal Credit .. you don't get the first weeks money?

Just .. no!

I also had to lie. I had no choice as it's their fucking incompetence yet again.

I'm here to help my grandchildren because the authorities have not and will not. Unless they go and prove me wrong that is.

I'm also intending to get my business going over the next six months.

The issue is that I'm told that despite being informed of health issues with my grandchildren I am fucked, or we are fucked, until we get an 'official' diagnosis. That's .. convenient!

We have been told by .. what are in essence authorities .. but .. not the right one?!

Ooh boy .. I'm going to have an interview at some point next week and that's going to be I've difficult meeting .. for them at any rate.

They thought I was difficult previously? Well now they can't be their usual gutless, cold and calculating selves without showing themselves to be amoral towards children. Vulnerable children I might add.

After all I've made one of the biggest sacrifices anyone can make. Well .. according to many people back in London along with many people here in the Wirral.

I suppose that with a disability, dodgy right knee, shed load of symptoms, pain, memory problems and hospitals referring me to cardiologists over the irregular heart beat they missed out could look like a big sacrifice?

To me I had no choice.

I simply couldn't have lived with myself had I not relocated and something had gone wrong.

It's 2.30am and I'm typing this out because I spent all day curled up in my new home .. dying .. or rather sleeping. Sleeping off .. the dying?! Lol.

I think in the evening my problem was one of energy as I hadn't eaten anything for 24 hours and had thrown up everything I had eaten the day before anyway.

Yeah .. it was that kind of a night and following day. At least the dizziness seems to have abated. Seems to have abated. Fingers crossed.

I don't know if the Patreon thing will work? It seems to for others and maybe I can build something up so that six months from now I can get enough to get me by and so the photography I want to do?

Of course there are other things I would like to do but I cannot bloody recall what they are right now! It is annoying this memory loss thing. Luckily it's only short term memory!

I've spent a lot more money outside of the tools I need than I expected to.

This is despite the fact I'm missing two photography items.

With a drone that would make three photography items.

Then there is the computer build to be able to process these 42MP photos and 4K videos.

I've yet to get out a single time with my camera and every week I think I'll get out at least once and I don't.

Not getting out with my camera is another source of frustration.

Maybe I can start making a list of places to visit for when I do have the time?

I could also plan a trip back to London to retrieve my stuff with spots I could visit with the camera on the way?

At least then I'll have taken some pictures!

However .. I'm pretty sure my laptop won't be very good at processing the photographs. I'll give it a go though. I suspect it will not be as powerful as my desktop computer .. which struggled with photos.

God help me with the attempt at 4K video editing!

These damned panic and anxiety attacks popping up without warning and whenever they feel like it are not helping either. Nor is getting no sleep.

FROM THE MOUTHS OF THE UNLIKELY

I cannot believe I'm going to quote the person that I'm about to!

Russell Brand!

"Society is collapsing" is one thing he is reported to have said!

"And people are starting to recognize that the reason they feel like they're mentally ill is that they're living in a system that's not designed to suit the human spirit" is another thing.

Not sure I'd use that last word but .. yeah. I'd agree with that .. sounds like what I've been saying and wondering if he had read my blog?

He also states "what's really changing is that people are starting to notice that the system is not working for them".

Yah think?!

What I find strange is that I didn't think that a celebrity would actually be in touch with the sort of people he could learn that from? Maybe some do? I dunno.

So is this a sign that the tide is about to turn? Or perhaps that the tide has already turned?

Who knows?

Hopefully we will find out soon enough?

In the meantime .. yeah I am sure the government knows bout this widespread grief and depression and I am sure also that they have done their utmost to conceal this fact and will continue to do so.

I saw this on the BBC and thought you should see it: Russell Brand: Society is collapsing - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-41652617

THE FACTS THAT STREAM IN

OK .. I am still fucking ill. It just refuses to go. I am up and down with the intensity and I simply cannot believe that I have this illness now of all times.

I still have not spent a night in my new flat and after three days of trying .. I am here right now .. only my inflatable bed is supposed to have come with a pump and it does not. Probably because the one I wanted was not in the store when I got there.

Here is where it gets annoying as .. I have a bloody good floor pump .. except .. there appears to be no way t fit it and what does look like an adaptor .. is not. It could be that there is something on the bed itself, i.e. a valve, that my floor pump can attach to. I will check before I leave here.

Also and after weeks of waiting .. we finally get told something about the children regarding the Autism. It seems that things are .. bad and they now state they going to rush for the appointment .. well one of them and we have another appointment coming up next Tuesday.

So here is how it played out and remember I know nothing about this affliction or how it is judged and rated.

So I am told they do this Q&A session and involves both parent and child.

Hey stated something about it being a safety scale .. whereby if you score up to 70 your safe but anything over this results in the danger posed to the child, or level thereof.

So above 70 is bad ..

The child scored 90.

Except .. that is not the child that we have been told is Autistic.

The child that we were told is Autistic scored 225!

Yeah .. you did read that as two hundred and twenty five. Even I raised an eyebrow over that score and was relieved to then be told that an appointment would be rushed.

These are two of my four grandchildren. Who only have a 24 year old mother, inadequate housing and rooms and absolutely no one else they can rely on.

It has been a few days of revelations as I also had my chest pain occur last night and in a big way and I managed to get a bona fide reading regarding its cause that now cannot be refuted nor ignored.

This is the same issue I have been to Accident & Emergency over several times over around 18 months that, just as I was about to make some big sacrifices and relocate 250 miles north to help out my daaughter and grandchildren, they then decide they want me to see a cardiologist. Something I had completely forgotten about since I have been here. Until last night when everything went haywire while I was looking after vulnerable children that have been 0ut in this state due a short list of incompetent public services that seem intent on destroying the UK, or England at least, and wanting to ignore people so that they die with the intention of them saving the money they screw out of taxpayers on a daily basis.

The absolute in your face attitudes of 'self-entitlement' have long since ventured over the boundary of ridiculous and has long since just kept on going.

I have spoken to and visited an advice centre but they now seem to be thinking that they can actually learn a great deal from me than me getting help from them.

Basically they did not seem to know much, did not get some of the answers I wanted or the answer to what to do first and .. asked me to let them know how it goes and provide as much feedback as possible. It seems I have to claim for Universal Credit which is kind of ironic because by the time their unfair 8 week wait for payment is up I will be on something else .. due to the inevitable diagnosis that is coming for at least one little girl. Maybe two?

My nose is burning, my eyes are streaming and I have this annoying cough and I woke up early this morning soaked in sweat and feverish. Oddly I started to fall asleep in my daughter's living room round 9.30pm to 10pm and those that know me or have been on here long enough know that I simply do not do that.

I do not know if it is the stress, the chest pin incident, the cold virus I am currently afflicted with or a whole combination of these things but .. it is a killer and very, very disruptive.

What I am kinda getting at is that just about everything has gone wrong and every attempt I have made to correct things, because of the fucking idiots in central and local government and other public organisations, but I just seemed destined to have run-ins with everyone.

I have tried to do everything the right way and I have since tried to correct things that have gne wrong and it is all either being forgotten about, taking too long or other responsibilities get I the way and I am back to forgetting again. It is like someone up above is trying to force confrontations and court cases my way?!

Did I mention the chest pains that led to my ending up in Accident & Emergency several times previous? You must know? The times they got concerned and insisted against my wishes and took me to hospital? The times that they took me and then found nothing?

Well turns out there is something! Though to be fair they did state that they wanted me to see a cardiologist .. just mere weeks before I am relocating 250 miles away and in the middle of the process of actually storing my belongings and throwing stuff away. Yeah .. despite all that I have now discovered that which several pairs, and the odd lone warrior, or paramedics and hospital staff and all their equipment failed to do ..

I experience irregular heart beats or Arrhythmia!

It gets better still ..

As it turns out my daughter has not only had the exact same symptoms .. along with a shed load, but not all, others I do plus some that I do not but she also has Arrhythmia and she has missed appointments that her Doctor's surgery has gotten a tincy bit anxious about .. and more than once too.

I not only possess the proof but it is also irrefutable ..

They should NEVER have asked me to buy that blood pressure monitor.

So let us recap ..

• Two people with disabilities that the NHS has avoided diagnosing as if it were the proverbial plague and then later lied about repeatedly to keep it hidden ..
• Cessation of all benefits of one of these disabled people while ..
  • Support to start own business was started .. approved twice and then withdrawn without any good reason whatsoever, instead using a fact that they were gully aware of for 14 weeks
  • Forced out of their home
  • Fucked the business idea after £20,000 of spending and with £6,000 worth of stuff still to acquire
  • Then disabled person discovers domestic abuse towards his daughter and grandchildren
  • Then discovers one serious case of Autism and one strong possibility among grandchildren
  • Discovers Wirral Council's regret only extends as far as saying 'sorry'
  • House not suitable for two youngest grandchildren
  • House soon not suitable for two oldest grandchildren
  • Domestic abuser still abusing from prison via mobile phone
  • Discover daughter has many of the same symptoms and blood pressure monitor readings as he does .. including Hypertension Stage 2 and Hypertensive Crisis though NHS has never reacted as if it is a crisis
  • Discover that both have irregular heart beats
  • DWP website refuses to work unless you LIE
  • Drivers Licence wankers changed the fucking rules yet again .. changing the licence and insisting on a fine but have yet to fine themselves for inadequate, previous forms of drivers licence .. funny .. that
  • Everyone wants fucking Photo ID but treats out of date ones as if they are fake ..
  • No RBS and everyone else .. just NO! It is still a real and official document with what is clearly a photo of me .. using to exit the country is one thing .. proving who you are is something else .. a pile of documents, court letters and birth certificates is not fucking enough .. all because of one lame and pathetic group of people
  • No mention of the inadequacy of the current home for four children and one young mother
  • Totally missing from the equation is the fact that my daughter has the same condition as me and many of the serious to health or attention symptoms are also experienced and possibly more besides
  • The process has been going on for weeks .. we now get this 'off the chart'

I have realised a great many things that just had not occurred to me previously when it comes to children and what I state next not only affects my own daughter but also a friend that lives in the next street.

In our case there are three problematic children, the youngest of which we think may well be just mimicking but is also suffering from a division in the attention from her parent ..

There is only one parent .. well at least until recently, and her older sister both gets and demands much more attention and this will only result in a rise in those statistics as time goes by.

The autistic child is flanked on the other side by one that simply does not sit still. I had sadly predicted several years ago that he will be demanding. He often fights with both younger girls and biting each other is common, started and mostly instigated by the autistic child.

So the youngest is feeling neglected and is acting up to the point of being spiteful to other children and animals to get attention.

We wonder is she too suffers with Autism and she did score 20 points over a safety score on an Autistic Q&A test. SO we simply do not know currently.

The second youngest displays a long list of giveaway signs of classic Autism, trouble with speech, having to repeat yourself several times to the repeated answer of “What?” and arm flapping among others.

As I may have stated previously when I was first told of this possible diagnosis I immediately thought “What? Austism? No! Oh wait a minute?! There was THAT time in Sainsburys when she performed beyond belief that had every single customer and member of staff in there stop what they are doing and simply stare?!”

Boy that lies, wants his own way all of the time .. wants what everyone else has and refuses to go to bed at the proper time or stay in bed when he does get there. He hides important items like remote controls to the TV. Has taken money and hidden it. Sneaks around when no one is looking and takes food, sweets or toys that do not belong to him. On reprimanding he will reel off a series of excuses and why he should get preferential treatment.

My own guess is that when I last saw him two years ago he would cling to his mother like the proverbial glue. He would also do this the whole time while staring at me. The fact that there were three other related children I the home that were glued to me most of the time made no difference. It was my prediction at the time that he was competing with others over his mother's attention and time and that in time this would become a problem.

Today you have this 5 year old boy that does not sit still, constantly demands what other people have then demands special or preferential treatment even expecting to go to bed later than his brother who, at 10, is twice his age.

Most interesting is the methods employed at times in insisting on staying up .. which are even humorous to watch ..

• Late at night the boys mother and older brother would decide to watch some spooky horror film ..
• This child would them demand that we DO NOT watch it ..
• He would demand that pizza be ordered and repeatedly force cry when told 'no'
• After spending 30 minutes repeating his demands that we “don't watch a scary movie” he would be told if he does not like it to go to bed, always flatly refused with excuses
• Upon playing of the scary movie he would then hide under the covers ..
• Only ever appearing when the dramatic music died down and only then to demand that we switch it off
• Repeated requests for him to go to bed would be followed by progressively more lame excuses to stay up
• Hiding under the covers would resume and to the point he would literally fall asleep where he was hidden under the covers in a seated position
• Picking him up and asking him to go to bed resulted in two odd responses ..
• The more rarer of the two was him sleep-walking in a zombie like trance, with arms up in a zombie like posture, and him almost sleep-walking to bed
• The other would be for him to go limp .. dig his heels into the ground and refuse to go to bed or even upstairs while crying very loudly, though still not a match for the autistic child who takes that crown
• Giving in to him results in problems that can not only manifest in the future but also become more complicated over time ..
• Occasions when the youngest boy haa stayed u longer than his older brother results in taunting that only seems to give out the message that he has special treatment ..
• I even managed to arrange good behaviour by telling him he had a new and special glass to have his drinks in .. just a glass I used that I bought with me ..
• That was until the Autistic child went into overdrive and smashed the glass on the floor I had, had for seven years

Things get broken .. a lot.

An iPod Touch was even purchased for the autistic child but in times of bad mood swings she would throw the iPod Touch out of the letterbox and somehow almost reaching the front gate 15 feet away!

But on other occasions .. get caught with this child's iPod touch in your hands and your in deep trouble. Either incessant screaming ensues or your going to get either bitten or have the heaviest thing she can lift up throw at your head.

Yeah .. things are going to get a lot worse and real quick too!

Shall I tell you what else is real quick? I am!

In the weeks since I found out about the domestic abuse and the autism I have somehow moved here into the Wirral. Before I had even discovered that my daughter had not only the same disability as me but with some symptoms that I possess that I considered symptoms that only appeared after a long time suffering with this illness.

I already know the first forms of disruption I am going to cause while I am up here. There is already a list.

Wirral Council want and need to be really careful. I am here and I have purpose. Many purposes.

I am already and once again showing them up for their ineffectiveness and this is likely t get a lot worse over the next few weeks. God only knows what they will look like the country come the new year of 2018?!

Despite any false impressions that may have been thought .. or deliberately spread about me ..

I am professional

I am polite

I am helpful

I am courteous .. but ..

Do something or indeed do nothing that puts the public and especially children at risk when yur paid well by the public to do this will result in another side of me that ..

Takes no prisoners ..

Exposes the truth

Can be ruthless to a fashion

Takes no fucking notice of chair persons at meetings to make themselves feel important or justify their existence or purpose that states that what is said I the meetings cannot be published .. well publicly?!

Yeah this was actually stated at a meeting .. I think from my daughter's face she think they were referring to me and my blog .. but ..

I don't really give a fuck!

Oh .. and as I am here now and I do have a bit more settling in, repairs and retrieval to do but .. yeah .. as one guy knew only too well .. I have probably anywhere between 50GB and over 100GB of recorded data to publish!

Oops! Did I fail to mention that? Did I fail to mention that in the last two and a half years I still recorded absolutely everything just as I had been doing previously?

OOPS!

I was repeatedly asked very early I the year when it was I would publish it. Now I thought it would likely be April but I also knew that sometimes things just go wrong because ..

.. everyone takes too fucking long! Well when your only getting £35k a year instead of £50k a year it must be so hard?

Yeah .. I live here now .. have a couple of things to set up and I have a lot of feathers to .. ruffle.

I did not publish anything nor did I state that I was recording anything for the last two years because .. well they were onto me and .. I had to get the to believe that I had stopped doing it. This way they would get comfortable again and the lies would flow as would the group appointments to people complaining about pain where they patronise you at the hospital and state that they do not have the money to fit us with 'Titanium spines'.

Yeah that is literally what the woman stated that had a woman in the group stand up and leave within seconds. I would have done too .. were it not for the fact I was recording it all, lol!

THE NEW BASE OF OPERATIONS

OK then .. I m typing this while sitting on a sofa in the new home.

Due to the craziness that is life up here as well as my Fibromyalgia, or Fibrofog part of it, I have yet to spend a single night here.

Around 20% of my stuff is here though .. no desktop computer but I do have this laptop I picked up around a week ago, of course it had to go back for several days so I have only had use of it for around three days.

Now my attention is diverted from .. the photographic side of things to renewing a couple of ID's and this is .. annoying. I have a bag full of ID's which even contains my birth certificate .. but .. things are not the way that they were a couple of decades ago. OK .. maybe a bit longer ago than that?! Lol.

Well what do you know? After some shit weather .. well bout the shittiest I have known for a very long time the sun is shining through the patio doors?! More of that please!

Hmm .. it is midday and the sun is to my right .. meaning that my patio doors and garden face .. umm .. south .. again .. lol!!

Yeah I have held onto a few orchids .. south is OK for now but I guess I can out them off to one side to avoid too much sun in the warmer months. If I am still here by then. If I am still alive by then.

There are a couple of other things I want to set up .. but more on that over the next couple of weeks .. or maybe sooner?

It has been hard to do any work and even writing because I had three pairs of small hands wanting to grab everything and press every button. I also had two sets of paws to deal with. Plus there was only one door key so on many occasions it was impossible to go out and do things. Plus I have been ill and it has been up and down like the proverbial yoyo!

I have to sort out my Internet connection too .. I am not even sure what the signal is like for my mobile network but I seem to use my phone OK when I was here previously with my new landlord.

Oh yeah .. I forgot I also have two pairs of horns to deal with who have disturbed the status quo when all other hands and paws were not causing problems.

In fact just last night another phone-call from a prison inmate in Liverpool just as it was reported on the news that drones and phones were confiscated. Indeed not only do we get this disturbance from within a prison but this was one pair of horns .. lying about another pair of horns ..

.. and the receiver of the phone-call said sternly “Everyone seems to know just when it is I get in the bath because things kick off”. Oh .. I just remembered .. I think that was the night before? Last night was trouble with friends. I think? Gaahhhh, this damned memory issue. When it allows you to remember things it gets the time wrong. It is like the concept of time has been slung out of the proverbial window!

So I have to register with a General Practitioner on Monday, see an advisor about my current situation with my identification along with what to do about the damned DWP.

It will be interesting to see how they react when I tell them what the DWP have done to me over the last few years but more importantly what they did just prior to relocating here and .. why I am here and what the bloody hell benefit support I should apply for. I was supposed to have my own business if you recall but that got cut just a couple of weeks before I moved.

I had a million things to do to and a bunch of stuff to throw out or place into storage .. stuff that needs to be retrieved before very long. Might be a tincey-wincey little problem with that .. though I am probably going to end up ignoring it completely .. as it is daft .. stupid and morally wrong. I will do my utmost to adhere to it but .. they need to learn that life is just not like that .. especially when the fucking pubic services are involved.

As I explained to my daughter several times since I have been up here .. each pubic service has done less and less and less while placing more and more responsibility onto the public. Probably because they have not been allowed to raise their budgets and salaries as they would like? During this process they have also laid out more and more in the way of fines on top of the unfair amounts of council tax, in the case of the councils that is, they charge everyone.

They all have been doing this and none of them have stopped to realise, or more likely do not fucking care, of the pressure they are putting on the public or indeed that many other public services are doing the exact same things?! You bet your bloody life they don't.

Here in this place things should be .. easier .. except they are not. Bin men knock and hold their bloody hands out for money, I know I saw this first hand! “Yeah?” says I. “Binman” says the binman. “Ah, so you are!” I reply to that. “I need paying” he says. “What? I am from London and have never heard of bin men being paid!”. I have, however, seen them getting up to all sorts of other things.

The best part about it is that I do remember her paying him previously but now been told that this was to clean the bin out back when the weather was warmer and she does not even want it done now it has turned cold! I kid you not!

The horror stories about children being abused is also off the scale and I have heard a few stories already that rank among the worst I have ever heard. In each case there is zero involvement from the social services though I bet somewhere a child is being taken by social services unnecessarily.

I should offer my services as a private investigator while I am here?

Well .. I wanted to at least sit down today on the sofa of this new flat without any .. interruptions and write my first piece for posting. Kind of an initiation of sorts. It was dragging on getting in here and getting started and still is. I was very eager to do this despite the furore and the dreaded flu like illness I now have. After producing vivid yellow mucous and even yellow water running form my nose it started to develop into a cough and a bit of a sneeze. I have felt nauseous a few times too and even avoided driving while like that. Fortunately I have come across my cough syrups and did not even know I still had them! So that was kinda cool!

Now that I am here though I might get some early tips to things kicking off and going down so that I might get there with a camera?

I also want to concentrate on a whole raft of other photographic things in time and I, no doubt, will have lots of brand new places to choose from?!

Added to this I will have three seasons to go through with each one being more productive than the last.

I keep repeating it in my head that I simply must be productive while I am here and I must capitalise on all the new locations that are available to me.

Fingers crossed!

Hmm I wonder if there is much in the way of demand of freelance photography?

THE AVERTED EYES

So then it has long become apparent to may and slowly becoming apparent to many more is that the public services are rotten.

Over the years I have been posting on this blog I have explained how I have ran into a fair number of local authorities. Five or six in fact.

As with most others, except the Police, I discovered very late in the day that there was an ombudsman for local government called the Local Government Ombudsman, or LGO.

I approached the LGO and genuinely believed what they told me.

I was to end up regretting this and my own daughter would be placed in danger several times in the process.

Once again this concerned Wirral Council but also involved Merseyside Police, who also repeatedly lied, and their associated ombudsman, the Independent Police Complaints Commissions. Guess what the latter did? Fuck all.

That is five or six local councils and with two of them I am still involved in and the LGO which covers all councils. All lie and all cheat. Oddly that is what they try to imply that 99.9% of the public does.

99.9% of the public in the Wirral

99.9% of the public in Enfield

99.9% of the public in Waltham Forest

99.9% of the public in Epping

99.9% of the public in Hackney

Of course this includes the LGO

So then .. safe to say that this applies across the board? Yup.

Your taxes pay for all of the above.

So then .. anyone else reporting what I have been saying for well over five years? Yup ..

With less than 2% of submitted complaints declared by the LGO as maladministration, there is a certain weight to the claims that the tax-funded service is not wholly committed to securing justice for the public.

Currently the DWP have gotten some well overdue attention over this. Though nowhere near enough, only a vote that is not constitutionally binding and even then it was only for a fucking pause. Cannot help but think that was all how for our benefit, or at least the more naïve of us?

The DWP are going to get more attention and once I get the ball rolling on that one and wont take place for another four days at least. Once a little meeting has taken place between an organisation and myself. Maybe it will be after a second meeting?

On a quick note I just recalled .. did you see the recent mainstream news report about how they found a drone that was getting items like mobile phones into a prison in Liverpool?

Did you think that they had caught them and now that is not happening any longer? Yeeeaah .. no.

Tonight we received a phone-call from a prison inmate of that exact same prison and oddly enough .. the person on the phone was full of his usual shit and lied .. badly.

Yeah .. prisons have now added themselves onto my list of .. adversaries. A shame .. for them.

So then .. been discovering or simply suspecting stuff?

Did you think things were just isolated to the ones mentioned? Umm .. no.

I stated that I would predict accurately that with each public service I would deal with in turn that .. they would turn out to be liars and cheats .. not fit for purpose but would quickly go on TV or to the tabloids to complain they do not get paid enough.

So it is 95% of the public services at best and 100% at worst.

It has been 100% for me but that does not equate to 100% of all public services as I simply cannot cover them or gather evidence on them all.

Still .. you can wait around and do nothing for another year only to finally discover I was right and maybe .. then you can do something? Except .. it will be far too late for many.

THE MAJOR CONCESSIONS

Wow-wee!!

The apocalypse has ended!

The Telegraph and The Sun tabloids, no doubt many more, are making a bloody big fuss about this story. Except it's ..

.. FUCK ALL!!

First things first. The bloody talk of pausing .. yeah, you need to do a wee bit more than just bloody pausing.

Secondly .. umm .. well .. the big news is that they are going to change the waiting time from six weeks to four weeks.

Big .. fucking .. deal!

Though to be fair it might be a big deal to some people but ..  in the big scheme of things it's literally fuck all.

Are these tabloids reports on drugs are part of the plan that if they sound like something is about to happen everyone stops protesting and complaining?

Thirdly ..

Well .. if you look at the link below you will note that it states 'concessions'.

That's plural .. if you don't know. I say that because everyone in the tabloids seen to be unaware of it.

So we have one ..

THE PERILS OF PUBLIC SERVICES

I have several major problems.

First I have an identification problem thanks to a pubic service likes to move the goal posts without warning and then impose fines .. despite the fact that the current document states that it is valid until 2039. Now it is not .. only I have not been told. Marvellous.

I could just renew my passport but .. well we all know how infamously slow they are.

My second problem is one of illness.

My third problem is one of money coming in .. which was unfairly stopped by yet another public service.

Well done .. you have all managed to not only take cash away you should not but have also cost me money .. well fucking done. So much for supporting people who want to work and especially those that make sacrifices to help others.

Those 'others' happen to be children, four though technically five.

A family that, you guessed it, the public services have not been helping .. yet again.

However what I wanted to talk about on this occasion is something that occurred today concerning a nursery. A nursery that seems to let children play with real and very old mobile phones! Complete with batteries.

Think that is bad enough?

Today I was looked at as this young three year old walked in with a candle glued to an optical disc .. one of those flat candles, possibly called 'tea candles'.

I turned to one of the two young women and stated that I simply could not believe that they taught a three year old how to make something that is dangerous! They agreed.

About ten minutes or so later I was sitting on a vacuum watching the fish in an aquarium, of all things, when the three other adults in the room started to leap around. I looked up wondering what they were getting so excited about when I noticed a pulsing orange glow against the wall behind the aquarium. I stood up to see a large brown envelope completely on fire.

That was inside of thirty minutes of that candle, made by all the children at the nursery, being inside the house.

I looked at the young woman I had made the remark to earlier and said .. “Umm .. what did I say not ten minutes ago?!” and she started laughing and nodding her head.

I have not been hear a month .. barely moved into my new flat and .. the incidents and stories are coming thick and fast ..

.. and I have not even explained how I was verbally and repeatedly attacked by a local Social Justice Warrior I have now nicknamed 'The Beast of Bodmin'.

Yeah was sitting in this house one night when someone I know came in. Plied me with drink and when I had started to feel like I had too much .. some others turned up I did not know.

One asked what I was doing there and I said I was here to help. They asked me with what and with a tone I had initially thought I had imagined. Then I need to lay down as I had over done it and the only place for any respite was the backyard. So I laid myself down in the corner out of sight. But then I was aware of someone in the backyard and did not know nor care who it was. I then noticed someone standing on the doorway. It was the woman who had quizzed me in an unusual tone from a little earlier.

She thought I was asleep ..

“Look .. he is here to help .. does not look like he his helping much!”

Eventually I went in and passed her in the kitchen and she made a remark about the washing up and asked why I had not done it.

I now felt like I was in the Twilight Zone and I was still slowly dying.

I then managed to get up to the toilet and I forced myself to be sick. Upon leaving the woman whose home it was saw me and asked if I was OK. Upon being told I was feeling like shit .. she told me to go and lay down in the boys bedroom, there is also a girl's bedroom.

Cutting a few other interruptions out I then ended up being really, really sick and vomiting for England. I then retreated back to the bedroom but before long this 'beast' appeared in the room with three children asking why I was lying on the floor. I told her I was recovering and she said “Well can you go and recover somewhere else, it is really important these children get to bed and your really annoying?!” I told her every single other room in the house had people in it, which were mostly abusing not just the home but the belongings in it too. She told me to go downstairs to the playroom, where an Xbox One was being abused, and that if it had anyone in it she would clear it out. She did not. I tried to talk to the boy that was abusing someone else's Xbox and he just looked at me and ignored me. I then wondered whether or not the person whose home it is had arranged an intervention because they had changed their mind abut my presence and help?

I laid there and suddenly thought “Hang on? Why am I stumbling around the house looking for somewhere to die when I have a effing Land Rover parked outside?!”

My coat containing my car key was hanging over the door to the living room where the beast from Bodmin was sitting along with several others. I slipped it off the door and headed for the door when I was asked by another kid where I was going. “Out” was all I answered.

Fifteen minutes or so after being in the back seat of my car with a blanket over me there was a knock on the door. The person whose home it is was there and asked “What you doing out here?” I said “Avoiding one of your mates who has been trying repeatedly to pick a fight with me all night” and looking shocked they asked what happened and I explained each incident. “RIGHT!”

She apparently went into the house .. entered the living room and then said “Right. Everybody HOME!”

She was furious and it turned out the woman had invited herself, let herself in .. no one liked her and was not only a lesbian but a man-hater with it.

Over the next few days it was talked about lot, others had also heard the way she spoke to me and even one of the children remarked about how she told me I was annoying.

I only wish I had known that she was not a close friend and not liked by any of the other women as I had ot resist the urge to lay into her verbally.

I was feeling a bit better and stood in the backyard again and started rolling a cigarette as I listened to each of them leave. Suddenly she stood in my line of sight just outside the kitchen doorway and .. gave me a dirty look while I .. just smirked back as if to signal to her that she was the reason that everyone was asked to leave.

I told people that I was going to ask her if she just turned on boys after they went through puberty as when I was told I was annoying she was trying to put three boys to bed .. who were then up again five minutes later. Everyone burst out laughing.

Did I mention I was still ill when this took place?

It has been one thing after another .. it really has. It still is but at least that night is over.

I have been feverish, had periods of intense sweating and others of shivering fits. All the while trying to sort out the fuck ups of several public services who all take forever to do anything while asking you to jump on order while trying in vain to successfully move into a home that has electrical wiring that has been partially fixed and had a loud bang while having this done.

Oh and someone I reported many years ago for stealing money from her own mother's account to the local council, which was not acted upon, has now been reported for doing the exact same thing by her own brother and one of her sisters. She was called in for questioning and .. nothing has been done .. yet again.

Wait until this brother and sister, who I know, realise that I am living in the area and see their reaction and then wait to see their second reaction when they realise I reported their sister for doing the exact same thing five or more years previous?!

Yeah .. this local council, Wirral, are in for a hard time of it over the next 6 months to 18 months and they are not going to like it, not one bit.

I think the “Hello Martin” I got from the social workers is some lame attempt to stay on my good side. They commented on how good the aquarium looked with its real plants thriving and I pointed out it was one of more than a dozen skills I have and mainly in science and I got a shocked look before I then finished with “Oh and my degree is in computer science” to raised eyebrows. I was tempted to say “What? Did your bosses not tell you? Because they know damn well what skill-sets I have”.

Unfortunately I have my own issues with being here .. something that is not being helped by all of these fucking idiot, sly, calculating and incompetent public services.

However .. within a week I should have a handle on that .. with a bit of luck and the proverbial fingers well and truly crossed.

I have already helped one couple who were given an eviction notice by Wirral Council and exactly what I told them was repeated word for word by a specialist solicitor.

As I explained to one friend from back in Enfield .. how is it I am so good at helping others but am totally useless at helping myself?

Maybe .. just maybe I may be able to do something to get back at them all for very deliberately hindering every single attempt I make at both progress and help while they love to tell you in the lying mainstream news media that they are genuinely trying to help.

Like .. fuck are they!

In fact since I have been here every single person I have spoken to absolutely hates Theresa May and they have asked me if I knew about the riots in Birkenhead, Liverpool and Manchester? I said that I did because I know someone who was form Oldham but lived in Birkenhead for a bit and he told me. He, I and many others noted that none of that was in the mainstream news. I explained about these riots to people in the south and that they had stated that if there had been riots like that it wud have been in the news. I explained that my response was “that shit don't wash no more and you and the mainstream media need to realise that the Internet and Social Media is a big thing now .. you cannot hide anything any more.

If you have come here long enough you would be well aware that I often state that I do not know whether or not the public do not react because they are naïve or amoral. That was an insight into large numbers of people being naïve regarding the mainstream media.

They are gradually losing that naivety and slowly catching on.

I am planing and hoping to greatly speed up that process and this is one of the fringe benefits of being here for a fair old while.

I have a couple of things in the pipeline that I honestly thought I would have set up by now but .. well .. as you can imagine and this was only just a few things that have gone on since I was here .. it is taking longer than I thought.

As bloody always.

But it would be a good idea to watch this space as always.

It should be one hell of a kick arse ride!

UNIVERSAL DOUBT

Following on from my previous post regarding one of the, if not the, most embarrassing thing a Tory government has ever done with the welfare system reform which is nothing more nor less than a gigantic fuck up .. it is in the news yet again.

I was surprised to hear in Prime Minister's questions that the main topic of the day was the utterly useless and unfair Universal Credit benefit.

Do these people smoke weed when they come up with these plans .. even though they are dastardly plans they have revealed themselves to be much worse than that. Maybe they only come up with these plans after the consumption of several beers, bottle of Chardonnay or Chianti or several Malt Whiskeys?

It is the lamest thing I can think of to come out of a British government for a very, very long time.

When these plans were first announced by David Cameron he insisted they would be fair and I was all in support of that at the time .. PROVIDED that he was sincere. I doubted that he was but hoped he meant what he said.

Where is David Cameron now?

Theresa May had worked her way to the bottom of my page for her competence and somehow managed to go off the end of it today. This has not happened before and I believe her to now be the most despicable Prime Minister since the 1970's. Beating even Margaret Thatcher!

Because Theresa May actually more or less stated that Universal Credit was a success. A success? Hmm I think the use of weed has spread into the House of Commons? A .. SUCCESS?

In no crazy parallel dimension could it ever be considered a success of any kind .. unless killing tens of thousands of innocent people quietly to save rich people money is considered a success somewhere?

Later I learned there was some vote regarding pausing it and it was a ridiculous loss for the Prime Minister.

I wonder if members of the public get excited when they hear of possible leadership battles among the Tories? Probably secretly hoping that a new Prime Minister might change things? That is until I remind everyone yet again that it was David Cameron getting into power was when these plans were bought in.

Added to this little House of Commons fiasco was yet another report by the BBC. Jesus, have they actually been popping honesty pills?!

In the report, albeit somewhat late to the effect it is measured in years, they state that an estimated 4.1 million people are in financial difficulty. Four point one MILLION people! Jobless benefit claimants could not even make up half that number even if every single one was in difficulty. A portion of them wont be so it is far fewer than half that figure.

Slave labour anyone? I thought there were laws over slave labour?

Maybe there are so many rules and regulations around today that save labour can actually be concealed to the point that the idiot mainstream news groups do not see it? Hidden in plain site unless your a blind idiot? Or perhaps they have just reached a point where they cannot ignore these things anymore as was commanded of them? I always knew that the latter would be a problem in due course when I started this blog over five years ago.

The same report goes on to state that 25.6 million could be vulnerable and so that figure of 4.1 million could grow rapidly over the next couple of years.

This was based on surveys carried out by the Financial Conduct Authority.

As for the vote about pausing, (giggles) 'pausing', of Universal Credit, yeah because that will lead to the cease of debt and financial hardship for hundreds of thousands of people, it was a landslide of epic proportions ..

299 In favour of pausing the Universal Credit Roll-Out
0     Against pausing the Universal Credit Roll-Out

Yeah that was indeed a big .. fat .. ZERO!

Umm .. has that ever happened before?

I was both amazed and relieved that it got so much attention in the House of Commons.

But I would like to ask of Jeremy Corbyn what the fuck is the point of a fucking 'paaaauuuse'?!

Ohhh .. boy. Politicians. Cannot detect the smell of their own excrement .. despite shovelling it out to the British public for so very long now.

I have had business men admit to me recently that the way that these public services are treating people is absolutely and ridiculously inhumane.

One said to me just several days back 'Do not go to that office .. you will be kept waiting for hours and spoken to like shit .. go to this other office'.

He went on to say how unfair things are and that he had workers where if they worked an extra couple of hours they ended up with less money?! I was literally scratching my head in trying to understand why the fuck they would do this. Punishing you even when our working?!

Yeah .. they do that. They make out they are all for people and supportive of them to if they actually work but that is an outright lie I have proven twice..

• Not interested nor do they want you working as a volunteer
• Not interested when you want to work for yourself
• Support you with your plans and then pull out when you reach certain .. milestones

SO yeah? No!

Yeah .. they watch me and .. they try to second guess me and they cannot ..

• They cut me loose after stabbing me in the back .. most honest person they ever had
• They think they got away with it
• They have not .. I have just taken my time due to other things going on ..
• These things will come into play when it comes to their stabbing the pubic in the back
• They will also be revisited and the whole process gone through again ..
• Except several serious factors come into play ..
• A huge sacrifice out of a sens of duty come into play
• Over a child and their children
• They will try and do this again .. but wont learn about the latter until later on .. so ..
• They have the option to either run me through or back down .. which will include another one of my long term targets
• It will all be published on here over the two months it will take to go through
• If there exists anyone that is unsure of the lies and lack of concern for human life they wont exist for much longer
• OOPS!

I cannot even go into detail about this yet .. because for one we have not had official confirmation .. despite this involving several very young children and one in particular. One that suffers from .. something. Something not very nice and has you scared for the future .. or more specifically .. 'their future'.

Double oops.

Oddly enough I heard of this area being mentioned .. Birkenhead and they stated about something about Food Banks.

Hmm wasn't there a report somewhere about Wirral Council being investigated or something? It was something to do with social services and/or children.

I have just had a thought ..

Theresa May claimed in the House of Commons that Universal Credit encourage people into work? I know that is crap because there are not that many jobs out there.

What I did not consider is that these claims may be based on numbers of the number of people that are on benefits or out of work?

Umm .. have not many disabled people been coming to me with the name of a list, Calum's List, of over one hundred thousand disabled people that have taken their own lives?

Errr? Yeah maybe the numbers have gone down because of them quite deliberately murdering as many as they can and seem to be hell-bent on continuing on this murderous path.

But now the doubt regarding Universal Credit is widespread.

Hopefully and with the help of this pride of placement in the House of Commons it will become a widely known truth for the majority of the sleeping giants that are the British public?

THE CLOSING WALLS

Well everything is just going wrong one thing after another.

Even the things I am trying to correct are going wrong.

I have tried to change and update my stuff only to find that the dates on the documents are now defunct, do not match up with other documents provided at the same time, those that made the changes failed to mention this at all and best of all they want to disregard dates they used on the documents and fine you £1,000?!

I finally have my laptop back and to my surprise they fixed it..

Only tonight when I attempted to watch a YouTube video I realised that there is now another problem with the sound. There isn't any!

That is my Drivers Licence and I have absolutely no doubt I am going to have a war with the DVLA who are just yet another public service that make changes to suggest that there shit was .. well shit and not worth the paper it was written on but they will find you unless you have the latest piece of their crap that is not worth the paper it is written on!

Jesus H Christ .. this fucking country and its incompetent and yet self-entitled pratts with delusions of grandeur?!

So the 'walls are closing in'?

Well yeah .. except not for me!

After a twenty year battle with my oldest enemy that is a particular pubic service it would appear that time and tide wait for no man .. sorry, I mean woman.

There was a couple of things occur that I simply could not believe. Pretty serious things to boot and these, along with two other very serious things, seem to coincide within the two month period whereby I visited this area and then .. relocated here.

One occurred prior to putting forward the idea of relocating, one during and now two a little after doing it and I have not even spent a single night in my new home!

Yup after an extended period of time I have a new home.

It is a little .. weird .. the feeling and spending the first days in the place is no doubt going to be weird .. very .. weird.

However my health issues have surfaced left, right and centre. I have also been struck down with a cold to boot.

It would seem that my memory issues have allowed me to overlook some important things .. though the morons involved going back on what they say in typical incompetent self-entitled political crap made it very easy to do.

This waas not even all of the things that have occurred in the last few days either and three separate news stories did not escape my attention ..

• 84% of Universal Credit claimants in rent arrears as I previously mentioned
• Disabled people have finally decided to record their disability assessments and the DWP have been trying to stop them
• This council, Wirral, are under some kind of investigation due to them being crap and their social services department being crap too

If all that was not enough ..

• One other little nugget of councils buying homeless people one way train tickets to get rid of them .. ooh boy how I could use that to do a travel photography piece?!
• Travel photography as each council area I end up with will no doubt buy me a ticket to the next place
• Cannot be too long now before they all start accusing each other in a big mud slinging bar fight?

I have only been here a couple of weeks!

I have some meetings arranged .. not sure how it is all going to pan out but could be pretty good .. in fact could be quite a show in all honesty.

Hmm .. looking at the above and thinking through them again .. it really could be a long list of huge disclosures and some evidence to make most of those I have fought previously look as guilty as dammit but adding in a very big new one to boot.

Currently my new home is almost ready to move into .. save for the fact that using any, and only, electrical sockets trips the system.

So using my mute laptop will be impossible which will be a pain. But it could be fixed tomorrow so that could be cool.

The overall big take from everything I will disclose will be the humongous amount of things that we are now expected to remember and with unfair and very big fines waiting for us for not recalling things and not doing their jobs for them!

Others individual things will all be things that simply stating would vindicate me would be something of an understatement and on one subject .. twenty five years late!!

Yeah .. the walls are closing in alright but not on me .. on someone else!

Now my concern next week will be finding the time to finally go out and take some photographs of different areas that in each and every case for several months will be new.

I might have missed the autumn and some stormy weather with deep orange suns that had people thinking the end of the world is nigh .. but .. it will be the Spring when I will be most productive.

I only hope the weather is on my side enough times for me to get a fair few photos onto FlickR and I simply must set up another photo sharing account .. with maybe Instagram?

Also, not only getting back to posting as regular as I was previously but also increasing the frequency of my posting for all my subjects?

Fingers crossed.

UNIVERSAL DEBT

Well how about that?

Currently ill and under a duvet I see this BBC Report about soaring rent prices and it's effect on low income tenants.

This reminded me of another report I saw on the BBC News about how 84% of people on the new and claimed to be fairer Universal Credit are in rent arrears!

I cannot think of a time when the government have been quite so stupid, made big claims regarding their plans and got it so wrong?

Bizarrely it's just as I predicted.

In my new home I'm already hearing plenty of horror stories and one has started to unfold right before my eyes..

A woman I've met who has a little girl who is about 5 or 6 and is also pregnant has just received an eviction notice.

Yep you read that right .. pregnant and with a little girl and just received an eviction notice ..

.. from her local council, no less!

I've also been proved right about the honesty of a particular group of people and actually spoken to a man I would happily hospitalise for the rest of his life.

Fortunately he is behind bars .. yeah .. they seem to be able to phone out using mobile phones?! God knows what other fucking shit they are allowed to do, or indeed, getting away with.

Domestic violence from a Muslim man that, just as I did on a previous occasion and later proved, I'm sure is a radical.

Still I'm here to work on the latter part of that along with his community of friends .. the leader of which has stated that we English are all racist because we won't allow Muslim men to batter white English women to a pulp, threaten the lives of a mother and four children and walk free. Yup .. you better believe that too!

He was happy I was here .. then immediately accused the person in with of lying .. that I'm not who I say I am. That was to a woman.

Funny .. he was not quite so brave with me on the phone.

He also warned me about the woman's mother .. an odd coincidence. Odd because that's the third Muslim man to tell me how bad this mother is.

This woman .. who was defended by a social worker friend of mine for a fair old while. That was .. annoying.

I was told by one a few years back that if this bother lived in the middle East she would be stoned to death.

The cat is half way out the bag.

Despite buying a fucking laptop I am still without one! Do not get me started.

It seems your allowed to sell untested crap whether your selling new, or at least claiming to be, or used items right there on the high street.

Also .. the council are not helping this family of four children and one mother ..

Oh they have said they are sorry for the past and .. visit every so often but .. that's not helping and not is it making amends.

There is also something that .. looks to be obvious about one of the children .. meaning special care and support is needed. Let's see shall we, when we have it confirmed?

I've also been asked if I can attend a county court hearing by a defendant.

Now where the feck is my stuff?!

I saw this on the BBC and thought you should see it: Low-income tenants battle soaring rents - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-41601455

THE BIGGEST OF CHANGES

I am not in Enfield any longer!

Apologies for the delay but things have been .. hectic!

In fact I am still between homes but I can tell you that I am around 240 miles from the nearest London borough!

I am looking and have contacted organisations in North Wales as well as Cheshire along with a few in the area I am currently in.

I have been here 9 days and had intended to purchase a laptop to continue posting on my blogs but .. I only acquired one yesterday, bought one that was used as new laptops are a total rip-off for what essentially only have two cores, is this the late 90's?

However despite getting a hold of, surprisingly, a HP Envy laptop and this being the second used electronic device I bought from this area in a little over two months both are faulty.

This laptop seems fine except that when charging it seems to only charge slowly and at a lower rate than it discharges, even with battery savings on, and it WILL shut off, which it did yesterday evening around 7pm.

Leaving the laptop on charge while off all evening and all night I was relieved to see that it did in fact have a full charge by 9am this morning.

I had wondered if the battery was knackered, it is not an easily removable one, or whether I had been given the wrong or faulty charger?

The little light by the power socket on the side of the laptop does indeed light up when plugged in and even when the power is off. I am assuming that it is receiving some power as the light being on and when it was down to one minute remaining it still went for an hour before shutting down.

So I have to return to the cash converter store to see if the power lead is the right one and whether it is faulty or not.

I feel somewhat better knowing now I have contacted several organisations in the hope that they can assist me in what I want to do.

Oh yeah ..

This little detail about moving?

I relocated here, though I have yet to officially relocate, because my daughter and grandchildren not only need help but are also in danger and .. well .. there is not anyone else to help and do not even mention pubic services to me.

The children have many problems due to the negative affect domestic abuse has had and added to that I am now told that one of my grandchildren is autistic.

Another shows signs of this too but as that is the youngest one we are not sure if it is sure fire symptom or whether or not mimicking is going on?

Before I left and on the day I was leaving for the umpteenth time I was asked to stay, told by my landlord that if it did not work out he would happily rent to me again and there is a place if it did not work out within three weeks.

I was also told by two separate people that me leaving was the end of an era! Oddly both also called Steve but did not know each other.

When I explained why .. again I was told I was an honest and honourable man. Has to be just about one of the nicest things anyone ever said about me.

I am currently in the Wirral.

Hmm? I used to know someone in North Wales?! Unfortunately they got the wrong end of a very long stick and stopped talking to me, after accusing me of first trying to start a civil war and then a government shill.

I only hope I get a great deal of photography done over the next six months to a year? Both landscapes and wildlife.
