Tin Men Again - Patience This Time
Our newspaper hounds sniffed out the news from this blog and 'named and shamed' Lambeth's 'tin men' who heartlessly summonsed 93-year-old Constance to court for alleged non-payment of council tax. The 'tin men' have once again hit the yellow brick road to West Norwood to oppress our people with their incompetence.
Patience is a single parent studying at a university in London, but has only been able to attend two lectures this term, which is the first in her final year. Lambeth housing refuses to take any responsibility for her 'health and safety' despite her being without electricity for the past month with her three-year-old child. Two years ago, Lambeth's lettings agency found her a flat in a multi-occupancy near the South Circular. Patience has paid all her bills, but the landlord, who is paid Patience's rent direct by the Council, refuses to pay for past bills from our old friends the utility EDF or for new separate meters for the flats.
Patience has finally lost patience having been pushed from pillar to post around the Council with no one accepting any 'duty of care' towards her. She is desperate for some light and needs to get on with her studies. This, of course, is how our people who wanted to better themselves and accept their responsibilities to society are treated by the 'tin men' who control our destinies. Will anyone be reprimanded, will anyone be fired, will anyone accept the blame or apologise. No, no, no! It's time to go into battle again. Once again names have been changed to protect the innocent.
