My Diary
Introduction to My DiaryAs suggested by the name, My Diary is a log of events covering the period from January 2002 to date. It is presented on a yearly basis. While many of the events are covered in other parts of the site, My Diary is more personal - probably making it an 'easier read' than other sections. Combined with the home page to the site which is a summary of the whole site and My Witness Statement , it provides a good overview of the whole site) On the home page of the site, I state that my life has been totally ruined by the events that have taken place since 2002 - ALL triggered by the fact that, when presented with a £14,400 (US$25,400) invoice in July 2002 , I 'dared' to ask the question "What are you going to spend it on?" - and I persisted in wanting to get an answer to what I consider to be a perfectly reasonable question to ask. Please note that I have consistently agreed that repair and maintenance works needed to be carried out. A fact recognised by Mr Lanny Silverstone , Cawdery Kaye Fireman Taylor (CKFT), Mr Ladsky's solicitors. Consequently, that I would need to pay my share (as, indeed, I did in the past). This is all I wanted to do: pay my just and fair share of the costs i.e. as per the terms of my lease - which is a legally binding contract - on both parties - landlord and leaseholder.
I was not prepared to 'shut up' and pay monies I did not owe.• I wanted to enforce the terms of my lease, as well as exert my statutory rights. • I wanted to comply with the instructions that had been given to me by a tribunal to NOT PAY (pg 5) the service charge demand until the tribunal had issued its determination - and it had been implemented. • I wanted legal advisers to provide me with what I believed I had paid for: proper, unbiased, informed, professional legal advice i.e. advice driven by the concept of 'fairness and justice'. • And I wanted to abide by my moral principles, my integrity: I wanted to pay my just and fair share of the costs for the major works (as captured e.g. on pages 3 and 4 of my 9 August 2003 letter to West London County Court) However, by the end of 2003, when I finally admitted to myself that I was dealing with a system that is heavily biased towards landlords (home # 4.14), I gave in "for the sake of bringing the dispute to an end". But, the sociopaths I am dealing with, led by Mr Andrew Ladsky, opted to pull me back down into the residential leasehold hell hole in 2004 out of revenge for 'daring' to challenge the 17 July 2002 service charge demand (My Diary 11 March 2007; Martin Russell Jones # 18 ; My Diary Mid-December 2007) - and because the dominant business model in the residential leasehold sector relies on beating leaseholders into submission. Second time round, I am no longer prepared to let a bunch of criminals walk all over me and steal from me - no matter what. While I am NOT the criminal; I AM THE VICTIM - my life has been totally ruined, and I have lost a very great deal. So, might as well go to the very end... and end-up on the pavement - being a 'great' advertisement for this country; more specifically: the ruling class.
Fair minded, reasonable visitor to the site, as you read through the site, please keep in mind: what is the ROOT CAUSE OF EVERYTHING CAPTURED ON THIS SITE? Mr Ladsky et. al. and their aides deciding that I (and my fellow leaseholders) would be made to pay for this: the CONSTRUCTION OF A PENTHOUSE FLAT, ADDITION OF THREE OTHER FLATS AND RELATED WORKS - FOR WHICH WE ARE NOT LIABLE. (This pack (2.3MB), as well as this pack (1.1MB) contain key evidential documents. As to the pay-off, it is evidenced by the block sale of flats in the latter part of 2006, beginning of 2007 which, of course, are in addition to the sale of the penthouse flat BGL 54 458 for £3.9 million (US$6.9 million) in December 2005, etc. In October 2007, the selling price was £6,500,000 (US$11.5 millions)
As you read through, bear in mind that EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN SAID, DONE AND WRITTEN BY THE VARIOUS PARTIES COVERED ON THIS WEBSITE STEMS FROM THIS. UNBELIEVABLE isn't it? As I wrote to the then Leader of the Conservative Party, on 6 April 2005 , "It fills me with utter disbelief to see what 'the system' is prepared to do to help a rogue landlord build a penthouse flat at the cost of lessees and further increase his financial gains by getting flats cheaply as a result of extortionate service charges. At the end of the day, this is the essence of it." I am calling it ' project nightmare ' ('project sunshine' since the relaunch). It is on my mind all the time, from the time I wake-up to the time I go to sleep. And, when I wake-up in the middle of the night, it is also on my mind. As you will see from My Diary, there has always been something happening / hanging over my head, ensuring I cannot forget it.
Until recent times, the horrendous and very traumatic treatment I am being subjected to since 2002 (harassment, bullying, victimization, intimidation, blackmail, etc.) brought on the tears; tears of utter despair, terrible loneliness, abandonment (e.g. My Diary 16 June 2006 ; 20 August 2007) from knowing that there is absolutely nothing there to help me (only God), but also extreme frustration, as well as immense disgust that - across the board - 'blind eyes and deaf ears' are turned to such injustice and inhuman treatment - in the U.K., in the 21st century. This is DEFINITELY NOT how I perceived this country I opted to make my home - because it was NOT like that. I snapped out of it through anger and determination to fight to the death (My Diary October 2005). I am not a door mat, nor a free access cash dispenser to be used and abused by criminals. I will not give in to their terrorist-like tactics.
To this I will now add: how many of those connected in one way or another with my case will be able to say that when they draw their last breath? And to the Parliamentary Ombudsman, on 22 November 2004 , I wrote (in the context of the impact that this 'war' is having on my health) "maybe my tombstone will read: "She died because the British government opted to not only turn a blind eye and a deaf ear, it actually helped a greed-ridden bunch of people who wanted to make her pay for the construction of a penthouse flat and enlargement of flats on 4 floors - all in the name of the leasehold system. She fought for all she had: a flat which was going to be her pension fund". What an epitaph!" Now, I have essentially stopped crying as I have reconciled myself to the reality that, while I will keep on fighting like a demon for justice and redress to the death, I am highly unlikely to achieve these objectives (e.g. My Diary Mid December 2007 ; events with West London County Court - Post 2004).
You will see from My Diary that, when employed (I resigned in January 2008), I frequently stayed in the office until midnight, or later, as well as most weekends to avoid being in the flat. (In some groups, it was not unusual to work very late and at weekends). The office was my refuge, my 'safe heaven'. I only went to the flat or, as I call it, the 'hell hole', to sleep and wash. For the same reason, I have occasionally stayed in a hotel to get a good night sleep, in a safe environment e.g. My Diary 28 April and 29 April 2006. Eventually, to bring back some kind of normality in my life, in 2007, I rented a room in East London for seven months. (The flat remained empty: no point renting it as the person would be harassed e.g. as happened to the tenant of other leaseholders; malicious leaks). Before reintegrating the flat, I had extra security installed so that now I no longer feel the need to sleep all dressed-up, with a knife by me in the bed. However, it only addresses part of the anguish of being in the hell hole e.g. My Diary 2 August 2006.
What is captured on this site in relation to these instances is what I have observed with my eyes - and those of three different, reliable witnesses -on three separate occasions. Admittedly, observation of the same events by other people might lead them to give a different interpretation to some of the events. However, when these events are looked at in their totality, I believe that any fair minded, reasonable person would likewise agree that I am under surveillance. I captured these events in the hope that, one day, the truth will come out - for the purpose of showing what can happen to a leaseholder who 'dares' to challenge a 'sacrosanct' landlord and the supporting infrastructure to the residential leasehold system. (I know of several leaseholders in a small block of flats fairly close to my area who have also reported being followed. They believe that it took place over a period of at least six months. Like me, they challenged a service charge demand. And, as in my case, the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal determined that the sum demanded was unreasonable. I do not know whether there is a connection between the two blocks). I also draw your attention to media reports of people being spied on by their local councils, and council and government departments employing an army of 850+ 'covert human intelligence sources' to spy on people - down to the level of the darkly comic e.g. the 'dustbin police'. This country is widely reported to have among the highest level of surveillance of people in the world, if not the highest (e.g. there are over 4 million CCTV cameras in this country = one camera per 15 persons. No wonder that many people nowadays are describing this country as a "police state". And 'Big Brother' keeps on growing, accessing private emails, telephone calls, planting bugging devices, etc). Even Members of Parliament appear to not be immune from being spied on: My Diary 7 June 2008 Prior to launching the site, I suspected that my mobile phones were monitored. Events in 2007-2008 have confirmed this e.g.
(I might capture other supporting evidence at a later stage in relation to e.g. other so-called 'professionals'. [ADD]) (NB: An article headed “Minister in ‘cahoots with mobile phone firms on price fixing’”, in the Mail on Sunday of 27 April 2008, states that “Culture Minister Margaret Hodge was last night accused of being in cahoots with the mobile industry amid allegations that one of her aides suggested a champagne celebration with Vodafone after the company defeated moves to cut its charges. Viviane Reding, the European Union’s telecoms commissioner, said she warned Mrs Hodge that the British people would be ‘very upset indeed… if they found out what was happening behind closed doors’”) Prior to launching the site in September 2006, I kept on re-rewriting the remainder of this section as I tried to figure out: why? In light of events in 2007-2008, I rewrote it in October 2008. Assuming, fair minded, reasonable visitor to the site, that you are an 'average' person like me, if somebody had said to me in 2002 that they were under surveillance, I would have found it, to say the least, extremely difficult to believe considering, among others, the astronomical cost involved... ...and the key question: WHY?
What I AM is a law-abiding, decent, honest person, who pays her taxes, minds her own business, etc. So: WHY?The only obvious answer: I am the innocent victim of fraud and corruption who was 'rocking the boat' before the launch of this website (overview of my complaints), and has since increased the 'rocking' factor by an exponential amount by exposing 'chapter and verse' of my case on this site - and by continuing to fight back, as well as start going on the attack (e.g. my 3 June 2008 Witness Statement ; My Diary 26 August 2008 and 11 November 2008 - amendments). For an overview of the evidence against various parties see also: My Diary 15 May 2008 ; 3 June 2008 ; 7 June 2008 - including "I am NOT the criminal. I AM THE VICTM" , my fellow leaseholders ; the links to various statutes included under the definition of 'criminal' e.g. Protection from Harassment Act 1997 ; Theft Act 1968 / Theft (Amendment) Act 1996 ; Malicious Communications Act 1988 - which include examples . As a visitor to my website wrote (# 16) "I think the parties concerned must be extremely worried..." Consider the profile of the sector: a multi-billion £ 'industry' controlled by very powerful oligarchs e.g. 'Who owns Britain?' ; the 'Great Estates', examples of new entrants - with far reaching tentacles e.g. New Labour's 1997 'An End to Feudalism' v. 'New Labour 2008 decision to retain residential leasehold ; a history of the landed class blocking legislation... and the 'rubbing off' of the power on the supporting infrastructure e.g. the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors threatening to issue defamation proceedings against me - and evidently encouraging Martin Russell Jones to do the same thing (RICS from # 11 ; # 12). The power of money... What's the purpose of the surveillance? Mainly to determine who my contacts are, so that the 'appropriate' contacts can be approached / actions taken. Why? Predominantly: 'damage limitation' / to hinder/counteract my moves (e.g. legal proceedings) / to get back at me, punish me for 'daring' to fight back, including going public. (Leaseholders are not 'meant' to do that, as the system relies on the victims being isolated and gagged through FEAR - and leaseholders are definitely not meant to defend themselves by gaining legal knowledge through self-learning: it makes them very dangerous). (It is fascinating to observe how, having the guts to take the moral stance and stand-up by your principles, stand-up for your rights and speak out against injustice and malpractice - turns you into a pariah - and leads you to face a 'lynch mob': see also what happened to some whistleblowers. Even senior Members of Parliament are not immune from retaliatory action. I think you will agree that all of this speaks volumes for the current state of affairs in this country). Take also the culture / political / ruling class environment into consideration e.g. at October 2008: it is fascinating to observe in media interviews how the parties who have contributed to the economic crisis dodge responsibility, playing 'pass the parcel' / 'ping-pong games', and the uniquely British (probably more accurate: Oxbridge) euphemisms used to play down their actions. Add to that a government described by a party Leader in November 2008 as "one of the most secretive and unaccountable in the world" (Facts that are obvious to many people). (Other examples In November 2008: (1) when Her Majesty the Queen opened a new building at the London School of Economics, she asked "How come that nobody predicted this awful [economic] mess?". Reply (I am paraphrasing) "Due to lack of coordination in communication"; (2) Following the death of a toddler who died as a result of the most appalling injuries sustained over an extended period, and had been seen by 60 social workers, as well as a doctor, the media described the authorities as "passing the buck". It comes as no surprise to hear that a social worker who had blown the whistle on the council in question, was 'made to pay' for it: whistleblower # 3. ) In general, such is the extent of the support networks of symbiotic relationships behind the gigantic trompe l'oeil, and the thickness of the 'Teflon coating', that nobody is held accountable for anything. As a visitor to my site wrote (# 17) "If you complain you are accused of threatening "Them" and if they threaten you, they are protected" (It seems to me that only the 'small people' get prosecuted, down to the ridiculous level of ending-up with a criminal record for overfilling their dustbin by 4 inches; for forgetting to wipe their pass on the automatic register on buses, etc. - and that control through FEAR is the modus operandi). How? (Based on events that have taken place), by getting my contacts to obtain information from me, in particular my plans (some people's persistence in trying to get me to answer their questions is hilarious, as are their means [ADD]) / supply information on me; provide me with trick assessment and advice, etc. [ADD] Why are they cooperating? Why is human nature as it is? :-) Also, while human psychology is very complex (and I am not an expert), my guess is that alignment with the 'other side' - among others, by people I trusted - may also stem from the fact that they would not have the guts to do what I have done, as well as resent my ability to do it. Rather than stand on the sideline, in case it leads to the perception that they are 'siding with me', they opt to join the 'lynch mob', in the process happily swallowing 'the pill' they are given to make them feel better about themselves by helping them rationalise their cowardice, betrayal, deceit, and overcome their self-doubts. While, of course, nobody has the guts to tell me anything, my guess is that the main 'ingredient' of 'the pill' is something along the line that my website is damaging to the country, the institutions, etc. That's the usual line of defence adopted by people in government and their friends - when exposed. (It is also used as an excuse for not releasing 'inconvenient' evidence e.g. as appears to be the case with the MP). They try to deflect attention away from themselves - and usually succeed because of an audience that wants to believe them (to protect their comfort zone) - by claiming that the criticisms / allegations / accusations are targeted at their position, instead of the reality: that they are directed at them. This is manipulation on a grand scale! (NB: In case you have only just read this section: to those who have / are acting against me, I highlight that, back in 2002, I had absolute blind trust and faith in 'the system'. It proved to be a MONUMENTAL MISTAKE that has caused me to be treated as though 'I' am the criminal and, in the process, suffer unbelievably appalling treatment). It is clear that this cooperation is achieved, in part, by discrediting me (including sinking as low as portraying me as being "mad" ) (a typical tactic). This is easy to do, as, given the nature of my website, unless they have a specific interest in the matters covered, most people are not going to bother reading it - preferring to accept the version they are being fed by individuals in 'authority' / with power / with money (regardless of how it has been obtained) / people they know. Add to that my 'double handicap': the fact that I am a woman; of foreign origin. One thing that ALL the individuals who have acted / are acting against me - in one way or another - can say is: "I did what I did, said what I said, wrote what I wrote because Mr Andrew Ladsky et. al. decided that Noëlle (and her fellow leaseholders) were going to pay for the construction of a penthouse flat and addition of three other flats to Jefferson House - costs for which Noëlle (and her fellow leaseholders) are not liable. So, what can be said about me? Not only do I approve of deceit and fraud, I also endorse the other illegal, and often "criminal"' tactics used against Noëlle (and her fellow leaseholders) in the pursuit of this objective: harassment, bullying, victimization , blackmail, intimidation, defamation of character, etc." Also key to the manipulation is the fact that the majority of people are in the dark as to what is actually going on (as I was... and, no doubt, still am to a large extent :-) ) because we are all fooled by highly orchestrated 'masters of deceit' - and the victims are gagged through FEAR - leading them to believe that it's only happening to them, and consequently doubting their assessment / conclusions (e.g. comments # 16 , # 8 , # 19). Even individuals capable of objectivity find it difficult to believe experiences like mine... until it happens to them. (As the propensity to prosecute the 'small people' is on the increase, more people are finding themselves at the receiving end of the legal system). Another objective in having me followed is to scare me and intimidate me so that I give up e.g.
What kind of people can do that? Obviously: very, very sick, morally depraved, despicable, beneath contempt scums. Who is having me monitored?
However, considering, among others, the time scale, resources, and therefore the cost implication - which must be astronomical - there are definitely other parties involved - with a 'big pot of money'. This conclusion is reinforced by the type of people involved. I have concluded that I am being followed / observed principally by men, but also women, as well as couples. They come in all shapes and sizes, skin colour and age and, by definition, origin / nationality. In the hope that the truth will eventually come out, for the purpose of evidence, I have generally captured my impressions / perceptions of their physical characteristics and appearance. (As well as taking numerous photographs). To further add to the evidence, I have also captured my impressions of their racial origin. Although I have come in contact with many nationalities as a result of, among others, working in different countries, clearly, what is captured are just 'my impressions' i.e. I may be wrong. These people can be on foot, bicycle, scooters, motorbikes, as well as in cars (of which I have noted the number plate of many). It is my impression that, at times, some are 'in disguise'. These include, among others, black London cabs and minicabs, bicycle taxis (all three types likely to have been employed for the evening / 'one-off job'), pretend street cleaners and window cleaners. There can be several people doing this at a given time e.g. one person located on the corner of one street, another in an adjacent street. Most of the time, the people I suspect to be following / observing me are different. 'Most of the time' as, on several occasions, I have recognised some of them (e.g.10 September 2005, 27 February 2006, 18 March 2006, 24 April 2006 and 25 October 2007) An amusing reaction of a significant proportion of those following me on foot is the tendency to start yawning when I look at them. Some also stretch themselves. There is also a high proportion of smokers. (Having your place of your work in the street allows you to do that). Among the men, I have noticed two distinct types, one of which I would describe as amateurs, leading them to behave in a disorientated manner when taken at their own game - see e.g. 26 October 2003; 16 July 2005; 17 August 2005, 26 August 2005; 29 August 2005, 31 August 2005, 10 September 2005, 25 December 2005; 15 January 2006; 19 April 2006; 16 May 2006, 5 August 2006, 8 September 2006)... ...but who have also attempted to scare me (e.g. 6 August 2005, 16 August 2005, 19 April 2006; 17 June 2006), as well as take retaliatory action (e.g. 21 December 2005) In relation to 'type 2', my impressions are that this type has some experience of following people - although not all that great (I have tricked them on numerous occasions (e.g. 4 January 2006 and 15 January 2006; 30 July 2006, 2 August 2006), much to their annoyance (e.g. 'Rest of week beginning 23 January 2006'), at times, to the extent of taking retaliatory action (e.g. 1 August 2006, 23 August 2006). Generally, this type tends to display an extremely arrogant air and grossly inflated sense of superiority and self-importance. They attempt to convey a 'macho' image: 'I am superior to you / smarter than you'; 'I am all powerful, you are not'. It is my impression that there is a connection with the police. Why? (Aside from the body language), because of the number involved and the response time (e.g. event on 15 January 2006). I emphasise that I have NO hard EVIDENCE to back-up my perception. I am simply capturing my impressions. It may be that they are ex. policemen employed by the private sector. Against that, I highlight the police's action in March 2007-April 2007 - added to what took place in 2002 and 2003. It seems to me that 'type 2' first appeared around mid 2005 (e.g. 5 August 2005). Why around this time? In My Diary 15 January 2006, I considered the possibility that I might have been reported for 'suspicious behaviour', and maybe due to my trip to Yemen. While they might have been a trigger, I dismissed both as warranting this prolonged surveillance. The main thing I was doing in 2005 was fight head on - through my complaints - with the legal sector, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and the Institute of Chartered Accountants for England and Wales - see My Diary 6 May 2008 for the overview. Considering what happened in 2007 and 2008, among others, with the police and West London County Court [ADD], my guess is that my complaints got me 'flagged up' as a threat. Difficult to believe that it would lead to my being placed under surveillance - and for such a long time? Consider what I have done; the evidence I have against various parties; the power of the sector; the system described as "one of the most secretive, unaccountable system of government anywhere in the world" ... ... AND consider that taxpayers' money is spent on an army of snoops to e.g. (1) over several weeks, spy on a couple suspected of having enlisted their child in a school outside of their catchment area; (2) spy on an individual suspected of using a disabled person's parking space; (3) check that people are not over-filling their dustbins; (4) put their dustbins out on the right day - only after a certain time. They even spy on dustmen to check that they are collecting the right type of refuse / are not taking bribes! (If only the same scrutiny and follow-on sanctions were applied to e.g. the expense claims from Members of Parliament and Ministers - and action taken against those who abuse the system... some, to the tune of several hundred thousand Pounds) (based on media reports). Consider this other example: Kensington & Chelsea police spent £5-7 million (US$8.8-12.4 million) of taxpayers' money investigating one of its own (K&C police # 8) And this example: "over £100,000" spent pursuing a whistleblower. = 'Your card is marked' from the moment you expose incompetence / malpractice / corruption - and the whole cavalry swings into action - as also demonstrated by the experience of the whistleblowers and that of the senior Member of Parliament.
Up to roughly the end of 2005, I used to refer to these people as 'my minders'. Since then, I have been describing them as [ morally depraved ; evil ; scums ; despicable ; rejects from the sewer; beneath contempt; low life [ Note] ] If these individuals are unhappy with this association, they are welcome to contact me and I will substitute these words with their name. Likewise, if they object to the visuals I have used on the site to represent them, I am happy to replace these visuals with the photographs I have taken - or other photographs of themselves if they care to supply them. (I reverse the right to have the final say on the selection). While my being under surveillance is peripheral to my case, considering that I am the innocent victim of crime, it makes me extremely angry that morally depraved scums have carte blanche to commit such blatant breaches of my Human Rights: Article 8 "Right to respect for private life" comprised under the Human Rights Act 1998, as well as commit criminal offences against me under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997. But then, this is a country where the likes of Mr Andrew Ladsky are free to carry out and command inhumane acts against leaseholders (My Diary 15 May 2008; my fellow leaseholders ; Comments) |
