Legal precedent - all corporate councils can be prosecuted for harassment

"... all settled in the recent case of Leighton v Bristow [2023] J90SA002 in the High Court of Justice Kings Bench Division by His Honour Judge Harrison where at paragraph 45 the claimant was awarded damages of £4000.00 and in this case if you fail to cease and desist you will have met the criteria for Harassment which may result in up to the same amount again and aggravated damages may also apply. In addition costs of 50% were also awarded to Leighton."

"When they are put on notice of their obligations under the new ruling to provide written proof from the court of their entitlement to attempt to distress goods and they turn up without the necessary proof then they are not entitled to claim that their actions are in good faith and in accordance with the law and therefore because they are not there lawfully they have no reasonable excuse under the Harassment Act 1997 therefore they are breaching it. Potentially a criminal offence."

A video about the new ruling has already had over 100,000 views:

The corporate councils are committing a serious criminal offence of Harassment when they create alleged 'liability orders' and 'warrants' without the sealed authority of a duly convened court of law and the signature of a judge acting according to their Oath of Office. Those responsible must therefore be brought to justice, to account for their antisocial and criminal behaviour. ANY council caught issuing their own 'warrants' and 'liability orders' is a criminal organisation and the individuals involved must be prosecuted. All executives and staff with any involvement in these criminal activities and the resulting Harassment must be removed from Public Office and have their ill-gotten gains taken from them.
The local inhabitants of areas with reports of Harassment and fraudulent 'court paperwork' being issued will want to stop paying any further Council Taxes until the criminals are brought to account.

All councils are provably private businesses with no public authority

Check out your local (bankrupt) corporate council, and prove to yourself and others that the councils are private corporations that do need a contract to make any claim.

This data can be easily verified by direct enquiry to Dun & Bradstreet:  https://www.dnb.co.uk/

As private businesses the corporate councils are operating in fraud by claiming to be 'public authorities'. The councils rent courts for a day and issue their own fraudulent 'warrants' and 'liability orders' that are not signed by judges and are issued by non-legally qualified personnel, just one example of council fraud. Fraud is a criminal offence according to the Fraud Act 2006:  

https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/35/contents

Inhabitants of all council areas will mostly want to stop paying Council Taxes when they discover the truth about council fraud!

Corporate councils bankrupt but collecting more taxes than ever!

Yet more councils are claiming they are near bankruptcy:

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/oct/20/more-english-councils-face-bankruptcy-leaders-warn-as-deficits-reach-4bn

Curious that none of these corporate councils mention the fact that they take 30+% of all Council Tax for their private pensions. And the executives pay themselves large sums too. Then add the private high interest debts, and you have several reasons why the corporate councils are going bankrupt. They have been taking too much for themselves!

When enough inhabitants of the mismanaged counties realise how they have been conned, they will probably want to stop paying the dodgy councils!

Bankrupt councils - the list grows more...

"Many local authorities could issue a section 114 notice in the next two financial years, according to a Special Interest Group of Municipal Authorities (Sigoma)".
https://www.localgov.co.uk/S114

A survey of the 47 local authorities the organisation represents revealed that 5 are currently in the process of deciding whether to issue a section 114 notice as a result of not being able to balance their annual budget in 2023-24.

A further 9 councils said they might have to declare bankruptcy next year, with Sigoma stating that "at least 12 other councils across the country were also considering issuing a section 114 notice in 2023/24".

Don't forget that Thurrock has already declared bankruptcy and got granted permission to raise its Council tax by 10% to cover funding shortfalls. Yesterday Birmingham City Council issued a s114 notice.

Other councils currently considering a section 114 notice are:-

Coventry City Council
West Berkshire Council
Bradford Council Middlesbrough Council
Kirklees Council
Guildford
Hastings
Southampton
Kent county council
Stoke on Trent council

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/bankrupt-birmingham-council-far-worst-30928463

Britain is collapsing. Local councils have no money left and yet were content to spend what they did have on woke projects such as Drag Queen story hour and rainbow zebra crossings.

No doubt they will want the people of this great nation to now cover shortfalls. It's time to say no!

Not one council leader is ever held to account for bankruptcy, meaning that they can throw away public money, our money, and never face any penalties. Enough is enough!

Bankrupt councils - the list is growing

The crooked corporate councils are going bankrupt, one by one.

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/aug/28/at-least-26-english-councils-at-risk-of-bankruptcy-in-next-two-years

Birmingham City Council is just one of the rotten councils that has been paying its executives very well for running the city down and dragging it into high interest private debt.

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/sep/05/birmingham-city-council-financial-distress-budget-section-114

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/oct/20/more-english-councils-face-bankruptcy-leaders-warn-as-deficits-reach-4bn

Birmingham inhabitants may wish to check up on the wages that the corporate executives:
https://www.birmingham.gov.uk/downloads/download/519/chief_officer_salary_disclosure

So while the crooked corporate councils embezzle Public Funds for their wages, expenses, interest on private debts, consultancies, redundancy deals, copper-bottomed pensions, etc, they impose "austerity" on the local inhabitants, even steal homes when families can't afford the local taxes. It doesn't make any real difference which political party has been elected to represent the corporations to the local inhabitants, because the corporate executives and staff stay the same.

The private debts only get higher because the councils only pay the interest on the debts, not repay the principle sum:
http://lada.debtresistance.uk/debt-resistance-uk-investigation/who-are-the-major-borrowers-from-the-banks/

The inhabitants of all council areas will want to check up on their local council, to see how much debt there is, what are the rates of executive wages, and other general practices of the scheming councils. When they find all the many 'discrepancies' and 'anomalies' they will probably want to stop paying any more Council Tax until the crooks are brought to account.

Portsmouth City Council - a criminally 'rotten borough'

A group of concerned Hampshire men and women have served Portsmouth City Council and Portsmouth Magistrates Court with a Notice of Misconduct in Public Office and a Cease & Desist of Council Tax Enforcement.   
The names, addresses, and amount of council tax debt of over 6,000 Portsmouth residents who have not paid their council tax were sent out by Portsmouth Magistrates Court in an un-redacted document compiled by Portsmouth City Council as part of a Freedom of Information Request.     
In addition, Portsmouth City Council issued summonses for the liability order hearing to the 6,000 on the list before receiving authorisation from Portsmouth Magistrates Court, which has caused the group to demand a cease and desist of any enforcement action.   
The summons requested that the 6,000 should not attend the liability order hearing, however, Judge Robinson then ordered costs of £125 each against those people who did not appear, making a profit for the court and/or council of £750,000 in under three hours.   
These collaborative crimes have been reported to Portsmouth City Council, Portsmouth Magistrates Court, Judge Robinson, and Hampshire Police.

Portsmouth City Council have acted criminally, in serious breach of the Data Protection Act 2018 and several staff and managers of Portsmouth City Council, including the DPO, have committed Misconduct in Public Office.
But the criminal matter doesn't stop there. Portsmouth Magistrate's Court have been a party to the serious breach of Data Protection Act 2018.
There may also be a breach of the Fraud Act 2006.

A police Crime Reference Number: 44230353040  has been allocated to the matter and to the criminal investigation now underway.

Further information can be viewed here:
https://gab.com/PortsmouthDataBreach

The inhabitants of Portsmouth and Hampshire will want to clarify about this criminal matter. When they discover the truth about the blatant fraud and criminality of Portsmouth City Council, they will want to join with their fellow inhabitants and stop paying any more Council Tax to what are no more than corporate criminals.

NOTICE OF INTENDED PROSECUTION

For the attention of:

Andrew Lovegrove acting in the capacity of Section 151 Officer for
Herefordshire County Council,
and
Each and every member of the Executive Board of Directors of Herefordshire County Council acting in their respective capacities for Herefordshire Council at:

Plough Lane Hereford HR4 0LE

Service date: February 1st. 2023
This Notice of Intended Prosecution is issued in accordance with the listed Statutory Duties DCLG_054: requirement to ensure transparency - (Local Government Act 1972 (LGA 1972). (Part VA) a statutory obligation of local government required to be adhered to by those in public service, obligating a duty of accountability to those they serve.

Introduction

During 2022 the executive management board of Herefordshire Council was challenged to verify the legality and lawfulness of the issuance of Council Tax to inhabitants of Herefordshire County and subsequent enforced collection.

Herefordshire Council has a lawful obligation of transparency and a public duty of accountability to the inhabitants of Herefordshire County over many issues including tax, but despite the legitimate questions raised by the Herefordshire Common Law Group, with regard to providing proof of obligation for County inhabitants to pay Council Tax, Herefordshire Council knowingly and deliberately ignored its lawful obligation of accountability and, instead, set about a deliberate and calculated process of harassment and abuse as the means to coerce inhabitants into paying the tax, while refusing, in any substantive way, to respond to the legitimate and lawful requests to provide the information, provision of that information being the lawful obligation of an accountable public employee who is being paid from public funds.

Page 1 of 6

As a consequence the executive management board of Herefordshire Council has knowingly and deliberately engaged in actions pursuant to demanding money with menaces and has strayed beyond the boundaries of civilised behaviour into the criminal jurisdiction of Fraud, specifically obtaining money by deception, and Racketeering, given that a fraud committed serially by using the same methodology is referred to as Fraudulent Practice in law.

Knowingly indulging in criminal activities is an extremely serious matter, and one that Herefordshire Council has, by default, admitted to have taken place as revealed under a process established through the issuance of Notices of Discovery, conducted on behalf of a member of the Herefordshire Common Law Group who was being systematically harassed for payment of Council Tax with no attempt by those accountable to provide the proof of obligation demanded under the legal Notices of Discovery served on the CFO for Herefordshire Council; a executive board member bearing unique responsibility, and personal liability, for each and every financial misdemeanour discovered under his tenure as described in the Local Government Act 1972, Section 151, as Herefordshire Council’s Section 151 Officer.

Andrew Lovegrove, acting in his capacity of Section 151 Officer for Herefordshire County, is hereby given twenty eight (28) days in which to provide written responses to specific questions, the answering of which has so far been avoided; failure to do so resulting, with no further notice, in the issuance of criminal proceedings to compel the Directors of Herefordshire County to appear in Court to provide under oath, under risk of perjury, answers to the serious legal issues raised by Herefordshire Common Law during 2022, in a public Court of record.

This action is being taken on behalf of specific members of Herefordshire Common Law as well as all inhabitants of Herefordshire County who have been, or are, subject to Council Tax. In particular those who have at any time since 1992, received summonses for non-payment of Council Tax or, since October 1st 2003, received or had payment of Council tax enforced using a Liability Order, plus any

inhabitants who have been threatened or received threatening letters or subsequent enforcement actions after presentation of documents that have been agreed not to exist.

Public Notice: Council Tax - A Fraudulent and Unlawful Scam

 Public Notice 

 Council Tax - A Fraudulent and Unlawful Scam

“No one is above the law, and all are equal in law that includes the borough council CEO, Directors, councillors and all other employees and Administrative courts”.!!!!!

To All Residents in your Neighbourhood.

The Council tax scam has been brought to the borough community attention due to the hardships we all face with uncontrollable inflation and unable to keep up with extortionate rising living costs and being threatened by the utility companies and councils when we cannot meet their demands or bills exceeding net wages for jobs (slavery) and ending up in debt. 

In some circumstances it is becoming apparent to all of us that decisions between buying food or paying the bills are made.

Many have done research for council tax, water, sewage, gas and electricity, no written contract is in existence with these private corporations to pay their issued bill. 

Borough councils are private corporations with sole objective to make a profit off your council tax the same as for utility private corporations. 

The council tax paid by the private property by gaining your “consent” it is led to believe does not go for the budgeted areas we all are informed of attached to the “bill” as a generic pie chart. Each borough council is registered on Company’s House and Duns and Bradstreet as evidence that it is a private corporation limited company. 

A council that has something to hide will use different company names on company house however the deception cannot be hidden on Duns and Bradstreet. 

Example of this is  Your Named Borough Council what does this private corporation have to hide within private trusts?

Your council tax bill is paid through HMRC with your account number and HMRC sort code into CITI Bank in the USA and could be invested on the DOW Jones or other investments through financial centres in Puerto Rico.

 The dividends paid to shareholders and for parasitic acquisition of land, charging of once free car parks, supposedly public buildings free for our use are chargeable for entry by us we the people of the borough and outside; for the financial gain of CEO, Board of Directors, Councillors, shareholders etc and possibly the mayor. 

Nothing reinvested for the benefit of us. 

Look at the degrading state of town centres where most of the shop buildings are closed and boarded up with no prospect of regeneration. 

The only time a council shows interest where monetary gain can be made, by charging or imposing a fixed penalty fine, or by imposing tariffs and for profit by them and financial loss to the people.

The Council Tax Scam

All borough councils think and act that they are above the laws and customs of our land and use the colour of law within the guidelines, codes relating to articles and regulations contained therein secondary legislation ~ Statutory Instruments and Enforcement Regulations which are not law.  

A borough council employed in the council buildings performing administration work acting as civil servants, these humans (sea monsters) or as written in legislation persons (masked slaves) :  CEO, board of directors, senior managers, junior managers, case workers, councillors, the mayor, secretaries, accounts, legal department, solicitors and with relevance to council tax those responsibilities in revenues and benefits department. 

This could be extended to health and planning departments. 

Civil servants mean the council work for the Borough people and we the people should be holding them to account, they are our servants in public office. 

The council buildings and all their assets belong to all of us not them and their shareholders.

However, we have over many decades allowed these people to invert this situation because we have taken eyes off the ball, so we have become answerable to them. 

This must change immediately. 

In order, achieve the objective we are going to use peaceful mass non-compliance and save every house lots of money by withholding the council tax.

King Charles affirms the Bill of Rights - he and Parliament serve us

King Charles has re-affirmed the 1688 Coronation Oath, which is part of the 1688 Bill of Rights, which is often dismissed as archaic and no longer relevant.  In fact he has confirmed its Enshrined nature and that the Monarch is bound by such rules, to SERVE WE THE PEOPLE and OUR LAWS, not their or Governments made up ones.  They even cut out a part from 1688 regarding "Parliament Statutes" and skipped straight to OUR LAWS.  Charles now serves US, under GOD and affirmed he is Protestant, and is bound again by 1688 Bill of Rights, which PREVENTS Government from ANY POWERS over us all, except to "AMEND (not simply MAKE UP), STRENGTHEN and PRESERVE...OUR LAWS OF THE REALME", which is confirmed as the "PEOPLES LAWS, as the COMMON LAW" in the Great Charter 1297 wording, which stems from Magna Carta 1215, which again he just confirmed existence of, by doing so. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkzqczWs1XI&ab_channel=PEACEKEEPERS

Therefore, this rogue Government and Monarchy prior, can now be held to account, so that the Bill of Rights 1688 protections and those of the Security Clause of Article 61, invoked in 2001 by the Barons Committee, can be fully acted upon, to "distrain and distress" Government and Monarchy again, back to rightful position of SERVANTS ONLY. Which means it is our Lawful duty and obligation to withhold taxes until the inalienable Rights and Freedoms guaranteed by OUR Laws are fully restored.

Herefordshire Council - a rotten borough exposed

The vigilant folk at Herefordshire Common Law have caught the corporate criminal council committing Fraud and other crimes. Many other inhabitants of counties can do similar and expose these rotten corporate crooks then hold them accountable according to Law.

Of course Herefordshire Council is no stranger to scandal, with the revelations that the scandal last year about its "children's services" that "utterly failed" to protect children in its care.

As any reader can see, Herefordshire Council are plenty in private debt and paying a very large amount of interest:
https://loboloans.info/council/herefordshire/
They are stealing Public Funds to pay for their own incompetence and criminality. They may be only 210 in the league table of privately indebted councils, but many of the inhabitants will be unaware of the facts. They will be kept unaware, by dishonest councillors and staff, that the private interest payments will continue for another 31 years!

When enough of the inhabitants of Herefordshire realise that the council are failing in their 'services', taking most of the Council Taxes (including Business Rates) for their wages, expenses, pensions, reserves, unusable reserves, private debts, interest on private debts, and dodgy private contracts, they will want to withhold any further payments.
