The Judge sounded to me as if maybe he wasnt too happy with the situation generally. That is a positive. What I will say is surely sooner or later someone somewhere, with the power and the inclination to help you, will intervene? The most shocking part of this mountain made out of a molehill IMO is the stark fact staring us all in the face of the total lack of interest by anyone in power or position of responsibility. The local Elections are of course next year and I am sure they wish this matter to be disposed of before then, hence the timing of certain actions. Well, no matter where anyone lives, hopefully they will take an objective look at this sorry saga and vote in a certain way to reflect their thoughts. The only one who has shown any guts, humanity and stuck her head above the parapet has been Cllr Caiach. All the others look away whilst you suffer.

He made his claim based on opinion, not fact, but opinion. He simply believed a witness. There was no evidence. This was totally unjust, and had the direct result of Jacqui being responsible for the damages, the damages that the council are now claiming. MJ tried to resurrect this accusation but has failed because as I have said, there was no evidence to back it up. What was this judge thinking of??.
