Me vs The Mayor 26 June 2017 19:53 I never expected to write a blog. I never expected to be defending the people who for many weeks now I have been slagging off, But for the first time I can see where a lot of them are coming from. Some of them have a lot to do before they go up in my estimation, and avoid the ever growing list of idiots. but that’s for another blog in the future. Back to today I received an email from The Mayor of London's office. Once upon a time that would have been an embossed letter with the Mayors crest in gold leaf at the top of the paper, But that was another time which a lot of you wont remember. Now its just another box logo on another email. Please take a couple of minutes to read the original email I sent.   Quite concise and to the point I thought. Then I got this in reply today and when I first opened it I thought wow finally some one has read and understood what I was saying.   But once again how wro...

On 17 May this year I tried a little experiment. I sent an email to my local job centre to see just how long it would take for them to respond to it. Here we are a month later and yesterday not only did I get that response, I also got irrefutable evidence that as the title of this blog says they are incompetent fools and liars. Let’s go back to the start. I had waited three months to see my so called ‘disabled advisor’. My appointment was on 5 June, and I still had the letter and appointment card with the date and time on both. If you miss one appointment your benefits are sanctioned (that means cut in half), for a month as a kind of punishment for wasting their time. If you miss a second three months and a third three years. I am not making this up, I have a friend who this has happened to. I waited until a week before my appointment and went to the Job Centre and asked for a copy of the email I had sent on the 17th. “We don’t have an email address” I was told as the security guar...

I went for a stagger in the local park the other night, I make the effort to get out as much as I can these days especially when the weathers so nice, and my new found passion photography is a great way to meet people and chat about everyday things  I live in London and its not the norm to go round speaking to others you do get some strange looks. "Why is this man speaking to me?" is the usual puzzled expression you can see on peoples faces when you say hello.  I make the effort to talk to everyone, disabled people especially. It doesn’t matter what race, colour or religion you are in my mind we are all equal. A quick hello doesn’t cost anything and brings a smile to their faces and you should really try it.  The last time people spoke to each other on buses, tubes and trains in London to my memory was 2012 when a lot of Londoners had left the capitol because of the Olympic games. It was a joy to see so many happy people and have pleasant conversations as we ...
