this is a letter i sent by email to the prime minister, needlessto say to date i have recieved no reply , .... personally i feel this is BAD manners , AND AS UK NATIONAL AND VOTER BAD POLICY ON HIS PART.


EAR MR BROWN GORDEN BROWN ,
It is with great sadness that I find myself in a position to be writing a letter to the prime minister of my country to complain about his governmental departments failings to comply with his own party’s and previous government legacys regarding the welfare state and my own experiences over the last 10 years, primeraly, however I have effidency that suggests that it goes back further, where I feel my human rights as and individual have been abused by various governmental and public department working under his parties policies and procedures as in accordance various acts of law.
I understand that when considering government policy in the health and social care area it is important to understand the ideological belief which that policy is grounded on and how it can disadvantage certain groups in society while benefiting others.
The founding principles of the welfare state in Britain are widly agreed to haveing there beginnings with the poor law 1598.
I am stunned to think that recent experience along with study for my foundation degree in health and social welfare has taught me that dispite the fact that we now in 2008 almost 2009 many people in this country , 1.4 of the population I believe according to your goverments statistics appear to be receiving treatment that clearly reflects the Poor law one state system intended to relieve poverty wither it was caused by illness, old age or unemployment.
AS I am sure you are aware the poor law was reformed in the 1834 act offering two kinds of relief indoor and out door. Outdoor relief was provided to those considered deserving, the old the poor the disabled however the “undeserving poor” the unmarried mothers and those deemed immoral and unworthy entered the workhouse and were obliged to earn their relief. ( the open university October 2006)
This led to the poor and disadvantaged of society being exploited and abused by those controlling industry and commerce. Those on indoor relieve were still in such states of poverty that they were forsed to turn to crime and prostitution and further acts of immorality as considered by there so called betters/ supiriors within the middle class hierarchy and landed gentry. Sadly Mr Brown your government and those preceeding you have not come very far in changing that although you may dress it up better these days
It wasn’t till 1848 that the public health act came about and introduced provisions to set up local boards of health and the appointment of medical officers of health. Which again I believe reflects present unitary departments and local government offices within the health and welfare and having been sevice user, employee and student I can tell you without fear of contradiction your failing to provide adequate services and care for the masses and you should hang your head in shame.
In your parties 1978 manifesto it states that “New labour is a party of ideas and ideals but not outdated ideaology” however Mr Brown I think evidance would suggest contary and not only that but that the ideaology being followed is a conservative one and not socialist or fabian or for that matter anything else I have found.
I would now like to explain my own case to you in some detail as I believe it is relevant to the action a I plan to take but before that I have included the following statement which I have already posted on the internet.
At 46 with little formal education having left school with 4 Scottish o’ level passes and a higher from many moons past. I decided to take up the government’s offer of further education and began a foundation degree in health and social welfare from Wolverhampton University that my local collage TCAT was doing.
It was a decision made resulting from finding that the area of employment I was interested in both from a personal and career prospective geared, on the higher levels towards those with a university
Or higher academic background and since the shift patterns that these jobs insisted on it was only at managerial levels that I would be able to fit the shift patterns to fit my personal circumstances as a single parent with two sons. One who alleged has learning difficulties according to education authorities. And undeniably has behavioural issues resulting from social issues I have inflicted.
Therefore I felt that the sensible thing to do was get myself the necessary qualifications to be able to get a decent job that would adequately provide for myself and my three children’s future security.
On 20th September 20006 I started my course and informed what I believed was all the relevant local and government agencies as to my change in circumstances. & Wrekin Housing trust, from whom I have rented my house for 8 years ( formally Telford and Wrekin council), the DHSS, The JOB centre, The department of work and pensions, and the NHS, I had previously been on incapacity benefit for the two years proceeding my decision resulting from alleged severe clinical depression. And local education department because my change in circumstances obviously affects my children’s entitlement to free school meals EMA grants etc.

I loved the course and found it enlightening and very interesting and realised so much about the effects of government policy on all of us however I had no idea just how all of this would affect my own life given that my soul purpose for beginning the course was to improve my long term financial security for myself and children.

Everything seemed to going fine and I was managing, I believed to be finally starting to get my finances under some kind of control.
To cut a long story short, as a result of the way my grants were paid into my account as it got close to the new payment being received there was generally a period of struggle however given that I knew when amounts would be paid when these period were coming round and I knew I would be late with payments for rent etc I contacted my local housing shop and informed them when payment would be made however this was never acceptable and despite prove being show and alleged empathy with my situation I was informed on each occasion that policy dictated I would be taken to court and was threatened with eviction on each occasion which as you may imagine added additional stress and worry, not to mention the £ 250 court costs that I had to pay each time on top of the arrears I was paying in full each time anyway.
These court cost have in the 2 years since commencing university amounted to in the region of £1670 my grants, my income is made up of student loans and grants amounting to £10244.00 and I pay full rent of £380 a month as I am not entitled to benefit assistance according to the relevant agencies who make these decisions as my circumstances don’t fit the criteria based on my income. I have when possible tried to supplement my income with part time work however this has not generally helped or worked out as I would have liked.
On the 28 July 2008 I appeared at court and read the following statement to the judge.
I have been advised by everyone I know to keep my mouth shut and let someone else speak for me today as a result of the language I use a I could be deemed in contempt of court and sentenced to 28 days in prison.
However my mother taught me to stand up for myself and what I believe is right.
I would like to ask the court to refer my case to the high court and counter claim against Telford & Wrekin Council and the burocrasy it represents as in accordance with THE BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS ACT 1998 and as affective from 2000 which is intended to protect individuals from abuse by any public body including local authorities, police, and government departments.
I cite;
The data protection act 1998
The mental health act 1983
The child protection act 1998
The chronically sick and disabled persons act 1970
And the NHS7 Care in the community act 1090
And I shall provide government statistics and polices to support my claim/ allegations, which I have with me today.

I was informed by the judge that I had a valid case and right to have it heard. He advised me to seek legal representation and advise to file this case independently thought the courts, as he had to deal with the present case as presented at the time. He also advised me that I was entitled to legal aid as a student and as at the time between courses I was in fact registered as unemployed and had not decided as to whither or not take up the third year option on my course to up grade to a BA honours degree in social care and social policy as a result of the problems my last to years have caused financially.
Since then I have contacted several lawyers, councillors, the CAB and the law society to try and find representation however as soon as I explain what I want help with and why I am told they don’t deal with these types of cases the law society has yet to acknowledge my email.
I have even tried contacting the press to no avail.
I have now received on the 7th October 2008 notification from Telford and Wrekin council that I am in arrears again, despite the fact that I have for the period they are claiming been in receipt of housing benefit.
As I have an outstanding balance of £141.42 AND will again be liable to pay court costs of £230.
I have also contacted several press and media sources in hope of some advise before trying to file my counter claim myself however no one ones to know.
With this in mind I shall now post this on the internet and wherever else I feel someone who may be able to advise me as to what someone has to do to receive justice in the U.K.

I will now try to explain as briefly as possible what has brought me to this point since 1997 when I came to England to live and could be suggested are at the root of my present position and reasons for my complaint against you government departments and other relevant bodies acting on there behalf.

In 1998 after the break up of my marrage resulting from adultery and a 11 week stay on a mental health ward with depression and the death of my mother in November 1997 I moved to Wolverhampton to make a fresh start for myself and three children .
I stayed for 12 month in Wolverhampton during which time I worked part time in a nursing home and then as a full-time residential support worker for children within the care sector with behavioural, sexual, emotional and mental health problems. However working within this sector was particularly problematic as it called for 24/48 hour shifts with sleep-in duties and with three children under 16 childcare was particularly difficult to find and I did not fit criteria for financial assistance that made it possible for me to continue with the job as my children were also coping with the affects of the marrage break up , death of there gran and move from Scotland and there familiar surroundings for which I accept full responsibility . Delails of my situation were highlighted in an article titled flexible friends, in Nursery world 19 august 1999 ,which explained how the new tax laws affected people in my situation and related my story.

In late 1999 I moved to Telford to a privately rented accommodation and 12 moths later became a telford and Wrekin housing trust tennent at my present address.
From then till 2006 although I had had several issues with payment and arrears resulting from various changes in circumstances I have always made every effort to maintain my rent and bills and keep to agreements made for payments but as a result of these various changes involving employment , changes and relationship changes resulting from a 18 moth relationship and the local housing office were always aware of what my personal and financial circumstances were.
After the break up of my relationship in 2004 I again suffered from depression, the relationship had been problematic as my partner was an violent and abusive alcoholic and of course this affected my children also and again I accept responsibility for this. However after much reflection and self analyisis not to mention therepy and counciling I felt able and in a position to return to work however I felt that as my career path and goals required more qualifications I decided to go to university and obtain the qualifications that would put me in a better position to provide the future security I wished for my children and the abblity to but my home which I discussed with my local housing officer jill nocols .
I also feel that it is relevant that my home is a terraced house and the only one on my block that remains a trust property and I estimate the present value to be around £120000 . I think this is relevant in as much as I live in and area with high multiple deprevation scores. Hadly /Leegomery scores 34.6 with a ranking of 1524 out of 8414 on the national IMD.There are 1553 people on low incomes ranking 12 in Telford and Wrekin and at 27.2% ranks higher than nationally which is 25%.
Employment deprevation is 11..4% with a national ranking of 2700 and national percentile banding of 35%. Health and disability deprevation scores are 0.78 with rank 12 in Telford and Wrekin and 20% national percentile band.
However dispite these facts Hadley is regarded as a growing area as was boasted by the principle of the 70 million pound super school Hadley learning community, Dr Etov, who at a recent parish council meeting announced that they had been approached by telford and wrekin council to further expand the primary school dispite the fact that my son informs my the school which as only been open 2 years is not in fact functioning too it full capacity and that the top floors are not used. The area is also seeing the development of several housing estates built for telford and Wrekin council by private developers and rented out or sold through telford and Wrekin housing trust. Formally telford and Wrekin council although now apparently according to the information I have been told nothing to do with the council not connected to and an independent body from the council with no internal link which I suggest /acuse is a outright lie and misrepresentation of the facts and I believe I have documentation which supports this.
