British Banks’ Privacy Policies Provide Them With The Ability To Monitor Customers’ Social Media Activities

The UK’s largest banks were compared to ‘communist China’ after it emerged their privacy policies permit them to monitor customers’ social media.

The four biggest high street lenders, NatWest, Lloyds Banking Group, HSBC and Barclays have all declined to deny that they keep track of users’ activity.

The disclosure came days after leading Brexiteer Nigel Farage revealed an internal dossier from Coutts, in which staff justified his account closure by claiming his views ‘do not align’ with the bank’s values.

In a 13-page privacy notice, Coutts’ parent company NatWest says it may gather ‘information that you make public on social media’.

A newspaper outlet reported that Lloyds, which also owns Halifax and Bank of Scotland, can also collect any data from ‘published media and social networks.

HSBC’s privacy notice is able to monitor information ‘that relates to your social interactions, such as your communications via social media, between individuals, organisations, prospects’, while Barclays reveals it can ‘collect information about you, such as from your activities on their social media pages or through the social media’.

Other major lenders, including Nationwide, Santander and Virgin Money, have also said they may check social media in special circumstances or ‘certain situations’.

Metro Bank, which Reform UK leader Richard Tice has accused of closing down his account due to his pro-Brexit views, said it will ‘occasionally obtain information from publicly available sources, such as social media sites.

Nigel Farage said of the findings that he doesn’t want to live in communist China yet increasingly we are. He said that the banks were out of control and need to be brought to heel and that people would be horrified by this.

Tory former minister Gareth Johnson added that this smacks of a big brother approach from the banks, and that he couldn’t see what anybody’s social media activities had to do with their banks.

He said that too often the banking sector seems to have lost its way recently which should worry us all.

Sadly, social media is the rot of humanity, and this is an invasion of our privacy and a bank that spies on us should have their banking licences withdrawn.

Our Government should ban this activity because what we do in our life has nothing to do with them and it’s an invasion of our privacy.

Makes you wonder when the energy companies will also start using the same criteria – this is an extremely worrying escalation indeed.

The simple solution would be to eschew any connection with social media, full stop.

We are being transformed into a totalitarian society. They want to abolish our Freedom of Speech and monitor our use of the open internet, and without actually knowing it we have no human rights.

Banks are now overreaching and have the upper hand and they have an attitude to go with it. It used to be that the customer was always right, even if they were wrong, now the customer is wrong even if they’re right.

And why do banks want to know what you do? Surely, they just want your money! The reason is, data is sold, and it’s an extremely lucrative business selling your data. Individually it doesn’t have a tremendous value, but multiplied by the number of customers, it amounts to serious money.

Some might say that if we’re foolish enough to mouth off on social media then that’s our problem, but it’s called Freedom of Speech and good men fought and died for that right, and as long as your breaking no law what you say is none of their business.

Massive Multi-Agency Response To 911 Call From Obama’s Martha’s Vineyard Estate

A frantic search has been launched after a paddleboarder went missing in the water off Martha’s Vineyard, near Barack Obama’s sprawling $12 million estate.

The man, 43, vanished while he was out on the water in the vicinity of Turkeyland Cove with another paddleboarder, and a joint agency search was underway at Edgartown Great Pond to locate him.

Eyewitnesses told police they saw the man go under the water, and briefly reappear while labouring to remain afloat, before submerging again.

It’s understood that the 911 call and dispatch address for the incident came from Obama’s Martha’s Vineyard home. It’s unclear if he was staying at the estate.

The US Coast Guard, Edgartown Fire, Air Wing, detectives, and Duke’s County Sheriff’s Department are all part of the recovery mission, which continued on Monday.

They were using divers, boats with side scan sonar in a bid to find the paddleboarder.

Detectives were also on the scene, as well as USCG helicopter units.

A command post has been set up at Wilson’s Landing, which is across the narrow Cove from Barack Obama’s estate.

Massachusetts State Police said that after several hours of searching, efforts to locate the missing paddleboarder were unsuccessful and the operation was paused to allow dive teams, flight crews, and other responders to re-equip and assess next steps.

They also said that search assets were resuming operations and that the search would again include marine assets, such as divers and boat crews deployed side scan sonar and aerial support from MSP and USCG helicopter crews.

They also added that members of the MSP Underwater Recovery Unit and the Massachusetts Environmental Police were joining the agencies and units’ search operations.

A dispatch call from Sunday night said that Edgartown Fire and Water rescue personnel, 79 (79) Turkeyland Cove Road. For a 40-year-old male, possibly drowning.

Edgartown Police said in a statement that EPD was assisting multiple agencies in searching for the missing adult male paddleboarder in Edgartown Great Pond, and they asked for people to stay away from the location so that emergency responders could conduct their search.

The rescue mission was just yards away from former President Obama’s Massachusetts seven-bedroom home, a 6,892 square foot mansion right close to the water.

The pond is actually a really calm area and extremely weird that someone would struggle in the water unless, of course, he had a medical emergency or perhaps there was a shark.

The article was about a man that had gone missing while paddleboarding. However, people wanted to focus more on Barack Obama having money and living in a 12 million property. Which was more significant, the man who’s presumably dead now, or the former President of the United States?

And I very much doubt it was the Obamas that called the emergency services, and I would be extremely surprised if they were looking out of their windows curtain twitching. Clearly, someone saw the man go under and went looking for a phone.

So, this had absolutely nothing to do with Barack Obama, other than the fact that he happens to live nearby, but it keeps the trolls fed and watered!

There’s A Possibility That Sadiq Khan’s Much-Criticised Expansion Of The ULEZ Scheme Will Be Scrapped 

Sadiq Khan could be forced to ditch his planned expansion of London’s ultra-low emission zone (ULEZ) after being dealt a fatal blow to Labour in last week’s Uxbridge by-election.

The Mayor of London is now being told by the party’s top brass to think again about the much-hated scheme which has sparked protests from people living in locations where it’s set to be introduced.

Sadiq Khan, who previously said the ULEZ was the right way to deal with pollution in the capital, has indicated he could look again at the policy and is in constructive listening mode.

It comes after party leader Sir Keir Starmer phoned the mayor and told him to consider changing course after it was beaten by the Tories at the Uxbridge and South Ruislip by-election by 495 votes.

Labour had been in pole position to flip the seat after the resignation of former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, but angry voters made their views on the capital’s Labour mayor by re-electing a Conservative MP.

A Labour source told a newspaper outlet the Mayor has promised to review the policy after discussions with Sir Keir Starmer, adding that it was clear that Sadiq Khan was going to be reviewing it.

It would be a humiliating step down for Sadiq Khan, who’s been relentless in his defence of the scheme and previously said clean air was a human right, not a privilege.

His flagship policy, which will see the £12.50 daily charge on older, more polluting vehicles extended into outer London, came under fire from his party bosses only hours after the dust settled from the by-election in the northwest of the capital.

Sir Keir Starmer said we are doing something very wrong if policies put forward by the Labour Party end up on each and every Tory leaflet.

And the civil war, brought on by fears in the party that its green policies could cost it at the next election, has exposed rifts over how it deals with its big-spending green policies.

Now some of Sir Keir Starmer’s top advisers, including his director of strategy Deborah Mattison, have claimed their predictions the ULEZ expansion would lose votes have come true.

One party insider told a newspaper outlet that at the start of the campaign, there was a lot of talk about it (Ulez) being scrapped.

They said that of course, this time last year, Deborah was among those who wanted Labour’s logo to be turned green so they could understand why Sadiq was a bit bemused by being told that by her.

Labour and the Tories have simply deceived us at every turn. They had no intention of controlling immigration or delivering on Brexit.

Taxes are at their highest levels and law and order in our major cities are gone.

They’ve stripped our armed forces and our public services are fundamentally broken.

Sadiq Khan has said that he won’t be ditching his despised ULEZ expansion and will find ways of financially supporting people to buy new electric cars, I wonder where this money will magically emerge from, presumably the taxpayer yet again.

Who does he think he is? But as we all know absolute power corrupts!

The ULEZ was never about the pollution narrative, it was always about the money.

We all know that the only way to prevent pollution is to take old cars off the road and replace them with new greener cars.

You pay your £12.50 a day but that doesn’t take the old cars off the road, they still remain a permanent fixture, which is still pumping out harmful pollution, so they’re taking your £12.50 a day on the pretence that your money will make the air cleaner – poppycock!

And what about the trains and factories that are still pumping out pollution? On the tubes, poor ventilation in tunnels and platforms means that travellers are exposed to heightened levels of particulates during their journeys, and while tube trains aren’t emitting any CO2, these particulates are still incredibly damaging to your lungs. In fact, researchers discovered that pollution in tube stations is up to 30 times higher than on busy roads.

In fact, the deeper the London Underground lines, the more harmful the pollution, and a scientific paper published by researchers from King’s College London in 2019 discovered the air in tube carriages was 18 times worse than the roadside air above ground.

Crooks Are Sticking Fake QR Codes On Car Park Payment Machines In Order To Trick Motorists Into Sending Them Money

Conmen are ripping people off across the United Kingdom by putting fake stickers on car parking payment machines to trick motorists into sending money.

The stickers and posters pose as genuine parking apps but if anyone scans the bar code on their mobile phone or visits the website, they’re directed to an app run by fraudsters.

People, thinking they’re making a genuine payment, will send the cash instead to the conmen who will then withdraw small sums of money below £50 so the victim is less likely to notice.

Parish councillor Maria Grasso, 67, told The Times that she fell for a scam at Upper Warlingham railway station car park in Surrey.

After catching the train, she received a text from a company called Mediacraze.com to say she’d signed up for a media streaming service.

When she dialled the phone number that was listed on the website to cancel, it was dead and it was then that she discovered she’d been scammed.

She said that criminals are very clever. They only take a small amount of money each month, and if you’re not the sort of person who religiously checks their account, this can go unnoticed for a very long time.

QR, or Quick Response codes are small, jumbled boxes of black and white squares, which work much like a barcode. When used legitimately, they can be extremely helpful.

You simply point the camera on your smartphone at the QR code and it directs you to a website automatically without you having to tap the details into your browser.

This is when fraudsters attach a phoney QR code over a real one to snare unsuspecting victims.

Some motorists on the Isle of Wight fell prey to this crime last year when a phoney QR code was stuck on parking meters in a council car park.

It’s difficult to determine a bogus QR code from a real one, which is a key reason why people are particularly vulnerable.

Stephen Burke, product director at the cyber security company Titan HQ, believes a detailed look at the placing of the code offers clues as to whether it might be a scam.

He said that you should always take a close look at any QR code to see if there are indications it has been plastered over a real one, perhaps on different paper or is peeling off.

However, if you are unfortunate enough to get scammed by these criminals, it should be the councils who run it that should be held accountable for any loss that you incur. It’s their machine and they have a duty to either make sure we can pay with cash or some online app, and even that’s not foolproof because if people want to scam you, they will find a way around it.

This is why cash is best and we need to stop this digital erosion of our lives and stick to what works and what has worked for decades. If it’s not broken, why try to fix it?

However, the simple solution to stop this problem would be to make car parks and places to park free, but of course, it’s another way for the government to make money. But of course, money isn’t worth the paper it’s written on. It’s just something we’ve been conditioned to believe for an extremely long time.

It just starts off as a bit of plain paper that the Bank of England just prints on, puts a few famous people on and then puts that you have to pay the bearer. Oh, and of course, some serial numbers.

Paper money actually has no intrinsic value, its worth is determined exclusively through supply and demand, and then it’s declared legal tender by government decree.

Basically, you’re being conned!

However, when it boils down to it our whole lives are a con, and we are being taxed, taxed, taxed through the nose while the Bank of England pumps out worthless paper money that’s worth nothing, we may as well be using Monopoly money, and then saying it’s worth something.

This Town Is So Filthy, You Can See It On Google Maps

According to families living in a squalor neighbourhood, a neglected town in Birmingham is so dirty that heaps of litter can be seen on Google Maps.

Photographs of Newton, just north of the city centre, show plastic bags, crisp packets and takeaway boxes strewn across roads and pavements while bins overflow.

According to Birmingham Live, Matt Bond, who has lived in the town with his family of six for 20 years, fears nothing will be done as he says people are dumping unwanted litter all over the place.

Venting his frustration at a local ward meeting, Mr Bond said: ‘I don’t know if you’ve ever gone on Google Maps and Googled our area from an aerial point of view. It looks like a waste ground, it really does.

He said that it was absolutely disgusting and embarrassing.

He added that people are just dumping stuff down the alleyways and all sorts, and he said what goes on in people’s minds.

Mr Bond claimed the extent of the rubbish left lying around was devaluing his property, adding that this was the frustration. It was communication. That they’ve been there for 20-odd years and still they can’t get anything done.

Another resident, Valerie Simpson, said that they weren’t even emptying the bins, they were just overflowing. That the bins weren’t emptied at all, and that there was rubbish everywhere.

She added that they live there and they have to live around squalor. That there was fly tipping everywhere and it was the first thing she speaks about every month at the meetings and nothing is happening about it.

She said they’ve got money there but they don’t put that to good use and they want the place tidied up.

In answer to the residents’ complaints about the litter and fly-tipping in Newton, councillor Ziaul Islam said that he was aware of all the problems surrounding fly-tipping and the rubbish on the streets and he was working with the authorities to put a stop to it.

He said that he was doing his best but that it was the same across several parts of the city.

He said that he was also fighting to restore the community centre and he would be in dialogue with the council leader, John Cotton.

Most Brummies that were born and bred there were brought up to be hard-working, decent, respectful people, they don’t choose to live like this, but between the dirty younger fast food generation and the most useless council in history, the once great city has become a rubbish tip.

Sadly this is happening in places with a considerable influx of non-native people and a once posh part of the city has now become the biggest slum area, largely due to new people who like to leave their filth everywhere, and it’s only going to get worse as our councils and government aren’t doing anything anymore.

Councils need to aggressively target those causing the littering and need to enforce a cleaning programme with bins that are emptied regularly. However, it’s also for the residents and businesses to play their part, rather than expecting the council to do everything, but the councils need to take the lead, play their part and demand that locals play their part.

It’s the same in certain parts of Bradford, Blackburn and Luton is no better.

Sadly, the UK is filthy, yet we pay the highest taxes of all. There’s no authority over the companies that are paid to clean the streets, no checking their work, and counsellors in charge are never held to account and nobody is ever fined. We have anti-littering laws in the United Kingdom which are never enforced and it’s disgraceful.

World’s End Estate

A video shows children’s toys and family possessions have been discovered untouched and rotting on an abandoned housing estate by an urban explorer.

Sean Piper, from Kent, England, stunned TikTok users after he found the Mayron Grove estate in Woolwich, London, and posted the footage to the social media site saying it looked like ‘the end of the world’.

The video, which has over 20,000 views, shows the exploration of the housing estate which has 172 dwellings spread across 16 blocks of flats.

On the estate, old children’s toys like stuffed rabbits, play cars and rocking horses can be seen rotting and collecting dust.

He told NeedToKnow.co.uk that wandering around the estate was a very eerie experience. It reminded him of scary movies like 28 days later or even video games like The Last of Us or Resident Evil.

The estate has been abandoned since 2010 and it took Greenwich Council a year to move everyone out, so obviously they do have housing reserves.

They slowly began offering one-off payments to residents, as well as reduced rent rated in new build apartments.

The plan was to demolish the buildings and build new luxury apartments, 165 in total to be built, to be a mixture of private and council flats.

However, plans hit a gridlock, and following a fire in one of the flats in March 2023, the buildings have since been fenced off and set for demolition.

The flats have been sat empty and open to the elements, for people to explore, and many residents took the moving opportunity to have a clear out of their possessions, so many things were left inside, like kids’ toys, televisions, shoes and clothes and even a couple that were completely furnished still.

Upon visiting the area, Sean felt as though he’d gone back in time, and got a eerie feeling from the start.

He said that it wasn’t fenced off when he went and even the car parks were very derelict looking. The lamp posts had broken lights, it was a ghost town, and he said the properties were almost all open, either by a door or window. They were metal sheeted so extremely dark inside, and wandering around inside with a torch provided a creepy atmosphere.

He said that some of the flats were fire damaged and had signs of squatters inside with soiled mattresses on the floor, bags full of old beer bottles and cigarette butts and needles on the floor.

What a waste. The council should be really ashamed and they should be fined every day until they either demolish the flats or renovate them if they can. After all, this could be supplying housing for so many desperate people, and yet the councils keep bleating on that they don’t have any housing stock, well this is probably why – disgraceful.

And you can guarantee that if they do knock it down and rebuild, it certainly won’t go for our own homeless.

This was likely a perfectly good council estate that probably wasn’t up to code, which could have been brought up to code, but instead, councils insist they build on every scrap of green land that we have.

This is a disgraceful waste of once decent social housing left to rot for the pursuit of profit and greed, and this happens a lot because councils are creating social cleansing whereby they uproot people on these estates that have likely lived there all their lives so that they’re disjoined from a community, friends and family.

They tell us that they have a housing shortage, they don’t have a housing shortage, just an out-of-control immigration policy.

Midge Ure, 71, Claims Bob Geldof Described His Iconic Band-Aid Song As Junk When He First Heard It

It’s an iconic song that’s graced the world’s airwaves for nearly 40 years, and now Midge Ure has revealed Bob Geldof’s first response on hearing the song to Band-Aid’s Do They Know It’s Christmas? was less than flattering.

Midge Ure, who co-wrote the charity single, said the singer claimed that it was rubbish but that it would do when he played him the tune on a toy keyboard.

The Boomtown Rats frontman, now 71, also told Midge Ure he thought it sounded like the theme tune to the 1960s British police TV drama Z-Cars.

Midge Ure, 69, said the pair then went to work on the track that has gone on to raise more than £200 million to help fight starvation in Africa since its release in 1984.

The Ultravox singer, originally of Cambuslang, near Glasgow, told the How to Be 60 podcast they’d thought of absurd ways to come up with money but settled on making music.

He added that they spent two hours trying to think of ridiculous ways of trying to raise some money then finally succumbing to the fact that they were rubbish at everything except maybe writing a song.

He said that they thought that if they wrote a Christmas song and got all of their friends involved, they could raise £100,000.

He said that luckily he’d just finished building his studio and sent Bob a cassette of this little thing he did on a toy keyboard. He said it was rubbish and that it sounded like Z-Cars, but that it would do. Then he came over with a right-handed guitar upside down because he’s left-handed, with barely any strings on it and started singing.

He told Bob to leave him and then he recorded them on a cassette and spent four days playing all the instruments and doing the arrangement for the song while Bob bludgeoned all their friends to come along and had a strength in name and fan base which was extremely important. Then, of course, the entire thing went mad, but whether he liked the song or not, Bob has been dining out on it.

However, you have to admit the Band-Aid concert would have been forgotten long ago if it hadn’t been for Freddie Mercury.

Bob Geldof did a good thing at the time – he wanted to do something to help. How much he helped is another thing, but his heart was in the right place, although he’s presumably profited a lot off the back of it, and I’m sure there were loads that wanted to climb aboard his bandwagon. He’s an extremely impressive man that didn’t have the best life growing up but has always been there for his own family.

Yes, of course, he wanted the notoriety, who wouldn’t?

NOT Lovin’ It!

McDonald’s has quietly hiked the price of a Big Mac by nearly £1 and has also made chicken nuggets, burgers, fries, and milkshakes more costly.

Last year the fast food giant declared it could no longer shield customers from the soaring costs caused by rising inflation hitting the cost of produce, energy, fuel and wages.

Yet in April McDonald’s announced sales in the first quarter were boosted by four per cent to $5.9 billion (£4.57 billion), compared to this time last year.

Now the fast food store has bumped up prices across its menu in the United Kingdom without announcing it to customers.

This time last year the company said it was increasing the price of a cheeseburger for the first time in 14 years from 99p to £1.19.

Although a cheeseburger still costs £1.19 in June, this month the price has bounced to £1.29, while a Big Mac is £4.59, up from £3.69, and fan favourite 20 Chicken McNuggets is at £5.79, up from £4.99.

Milkshakes have been raised by 50p from £1.29 to £1.79, an increase of nearly 40 per cent.

Even vegan dishes have been hit by the hike, with the Vegetable Deluxe rising from £3.59 to £4.19 and the McPlant jumping from £3.69 to £4.29.

It comes as it was revealed the Consumer Prices Index rate was running at 7.9 per cent in June, falling from 8.7 per cent the previous month and significantly below expectations.

Crucially the core measure of prices, excluding more volatile elements such as fuel, also declined.

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt hailed CPI as being at its lowest level for 15 months in the official figures but also warned the fight to suppress prices had not yet been won.

He said that they weren’t complacent and knew that high prices were still a huge worry for families and businesses and that the best way they could ease this pressure and get the economy growing again was by sticking to the plan to halve inflation this year.

Rishi Sunak said he was sticking to the plan of trying to halve inflation to around 5 per cent by the end of the year.

The fast-food colossus has been slammed with allegations of sexual wrongdoing this week after young female staff at McDonald’s declared they were groped, given nicknames like ‘McBike’, and were rated on their appearance at work on scoreboards.

Alistair Macrow, McDonald’s boss in the United Kingdom, issued an apology after the BBC discovered that more than 100 existing and former staff at the fast food chain alleged they’d been harassed.

From now on the staff will ask, ‘Do you want fries with that?’ And they’ll be saying no because they just can’t afford them.

I must admit McDonald’s has done well at attempting to keep their prices down, but of course, everything has gone up, the price of food, utilities, fuel, rents, rates, probably uniforms and wages. They all add up, and McDonald’s isn’t a charity, they’re a business and they have to make money, condemn the Government, not McDonald’s.

The short and tall of it is, if people can’t afford to eat out anymore, then eat at home. Soon, there will be no McDonald’s, Burger King et cetera. In fact, there won’t be much of anything beyond your front door, it will all be gone, but of course, that’s what the Government want so that they can keep an eye on you and control your every move.

Also, have you noticed, McDonald’s burgers have become smaller? I can remember a Big Mac back in the 1970s being much bigger, like double the size. In fact, I used to have trouble eating them because when you bit into them the sauce would seep out the sides and normally I would wear it instead of eating it. Now, two bites and it’s gone!

Of course, we’re all acquainted with our favourite chocolate bars, crisps and household essentials falling prey to shrinkflation. A sly method in which brands quietly push through price hikes by reducing the size of their packaging, therefore giving customers less bang for their money.

And now hungry McDonald’s customers are now questioning whether the food chain has shrunk its burgers, but McDonald’s denied these claims.

McDonald’s burgers look more like a kid-size portion, rather than an adult size. If it’s kid-size then we should pay for a kid’s portions, not adult portions. So, not only have they become smaller, but they’ve become more costly as well!

It’s not the first time McDonald’s has been accused of shrinkflation. In 2020, one Reddit user compared their cheeseburger to the size of a cookie, with numerous commenters flocking to the comments in agreement.

Caravan Smashed By Nightmare Holidaymaker

A nightmare holidaymaker who realised she could have paid £200 less, unleashed carnage in retaliation, ripping her hired caravan to shreds and destroying its contents.

Rob Smith, director of holiday caravan rental company Jars Holidays, rented the vehicle at Lyons Robin Hood Holiday Park in Rhyl, Wales, out to a woman and her partner between July 14 and 21.

However, the 38-year-old claims the holidaymakers were a nightmare from the start, calling for the boiler to be fixed at 1 am in the morning and badgering for money off despite being in the caravan already.

When Mr Smith pointed out that it was all already paid and refused any reimbursement, the renter turned hostile and trashed the caravan and fled in the night, just four days into their holiday.

The company director was shocked when he stepped inside the abandoned van the next morning to discover that it had been torn to shreds by the guests.

Shocking images shared on Facebook reveal the state of the two-bedroom caravan, with torn-up bedding, curtains and a smart flatscreen TV.

The whole home appeared to be clad in dog food, rubbish and what seemed to be flour emptied all over the stove, whilst uprooted sofa cushions and broken kitchen utensils covered the floors.

Mr Smith claims that the destructive tenant had even left the shower on full blast, with the head dangling out the bathroom window.

Mr Smith, who rents out privately owned caravans to backpackers looking for seaside town getaways, claims that it took the Jar Holiday team six hours to clean up the carnage.

The caravan rental company had to replace everything in sight, including forking out about £1,000 for a replacement flatscreen TV.

Mr Smith, from Toxteth, Liverpool, said that obviously, they’d rented out to somebody who hadn’t been a good renter.

He said that security had walked past the caravan between one and three o’clock in the morning and it was all smashed up, but that they only got the call in the morning.

He said that it was disgusting and that in all the years they’d been there, they’d never seen this happen before, and that she was a nightmare during the stay and after.

He added that she booked through a third-party company and that she privately messaged them halfway through the holiday saying she could have paid £200 less elsewhere through a different third-party company for the holiday and that she wanted her money back.

This is criminal damage and the person that caused this trashing should be taken to court.

Unfortunately, things like this occur and Mr Smith should have been insured for this kind of thing, and he will more than likely get his money back for the destruction of the caravan, and if he was not insured, then he should have been.

The police probably won’t pursue this as they’re out pursuing ‘woke’ issues, but Mr Smith would have been given an incident number for his insurance company to investigate and eventually pay out.

This woman should be made to pay every penny for the damages, but you’ve got to find her first, and taking her to small claims court would likely end up costing Mr Smith more money in the long run, and no doubt the woman is on benefits or a meagre income and would only be ordered to pay back a small amount at a time. There’s a vast difference between winning in court and actually getting the money.

This is why there needs to be a register of bad tenants so that they won’t do it to others in the future.
