BN66 - the road to Judicial Review

Who is this quote attributed to?

Me. Sorry, I was being sarcastic. If Timms was honest that's what he would say.

A few of us have been toying with the idea of setting up a web site as a focus for the campaign eg. something like www.notoretro.org.uk

This would contain all the background info on the case, evidence that has been gathered so far, results of FOI requests, latest updates, status of JCHR & JR. It would be a bit like the first post of this thread:

except more in-depth, better structured and generally more professional looking.

What do people think? Worth the effort/not worth the effort?

If we go down this route then I am also happy to contribute to the cost of the site. In general it may be good to get together a bit of a war chest for the battle ahead. I think there is a high level of trust for the leading figures in the forum built up over many months

Shame they had to spoil what is otherwise a decent bit of reporting with a picture of Timms ugly mug.

does seem too much of a coincidence that the latest one they closed retro was also £200m....nice easy round number for them...obviously a lot of work has gone into assessing the income generated...

If they actually did any real type of assessments they would more accurately assess the ability to pay, not what they think they would get in an ideal world situation where we can all pay.

They just work on realising all of the oustanding monies which is completely off the mark...Hopefully this will be highlighted by the JCHR report. Their supposed £200m could easily turn into £5m, and with how much collateral damage to those its been collected from Mr Timms?

Knowing new Liebour, it's probably a figure plucked out of the air.

Yes, nice forced grin on Mr Timms face. Looks like one of those Botox moments.

that really is a face only a mother could love, although in his case thats probably not true

That his mother doesn't love his mug? Or that he has no mother?

[PlaneSailing]

He doesn't need to.

"The provision was designed to screw these people, and the representations the Committee have received confirm that it has had the impact we intended."

If his letter is late, does he get an automatic 100 quid fine?

I don't know what the protocol is with these committees but I imagine it would be bad form not to respond by the deadline, even if it's only to request more time.

Can you ask the commitee clerk what the form is with this?
