Initially fucked off because all set for second lorry,compensated by free taxi home and Moore chucked out.I hate the baler whuch crushed cardboxes and makes a bale, I was nearly fucking jumping in the bloody thing to relieve the boredom.Even calling it Barthelomew didn't help,don't know what the hell I did but it decided to attempt to bale early,groaned a bit and appeared to die.48 bloody hours with the thing you can hardly blame it.

Re: Tuesday 12th December 2017
#Today in the county court I represented a real-life #DanielBlake. He is 51 and has depression and PTSD. He cannot use a computer.
According to his doctor he is not fit for work. The DWP thinks otherwise though, and since moving him from ESA to #universalcredit
He has been repeatedly sanctioned for failing his ‘Claimant commitment’ of job-searching for 35 hours per week.
With @CitizensAdvice’s help, he
is challenging these sanctions, but the process is slow &, in the meantime, his money is stopped.
He also wants to challenge the assessment that found him fit for work but he can’t until a ‘mandatory reconsideration’ has been issued.
He has chased this many times, to deafening silence from the #universalcredit department.
The result of this Kafkaesque nightmare?
My client has been living off £114.33 a month (that’s £26 a week) and has been relying on food banks. His rent arrears are now £10,000.
So he is being evicted from his Council home. But until the #universalcredit sanctions are lifted, he cannot afford his full rent.
Today I explained all of this to the judge and asked for more time for him to sort out his #universalcredit, before evicting him
Thankfully, the judge granted him more time. She was visibly shocked by what I told her & said the benefits system is ‘appalling’
And that she hadn’t been aware of all the problems with #universalcredit. She thanked me for drawing them to her attention.
am glad my client has a roof over his head this Christmas. But I am sad that he, and many others like him,
Has been a victim of such a cruel and inhumane benefits system, and I wish I could reassure him that things will get better.
