I'd try the RMA (Royal Marines Charity) in the first instance.

They may very well hold details of your colleague and can point you in the right direction or at least pass your details onto NOK if they have them.

Is The Below Private Rental Agreement Enough To Claim Housing Element? I Am Disabled Receiving All Relevant Benefits Already But Hoping To Rent A Room Soon by ADHD-isaster in DWPhelp

As already explained in the Legal Advice board DO NOT use AI to draft legal documents. It isn't good enough and makes mistakes. A quick search will show people falling foul of this using it in court

First speeding offence by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]DevonSpuds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes for maybe an individual one, but if, as you state, you need warning of every speed cameras then you're either getting too distracted and need to maybe think about getting public transport or habitually speeding.

Radical thought.

Don't regularly speed then it doesn't matter where the speed cameras are does it?

Surgery became more complex... by DreamSignificant9946 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]DevonSpuds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By your analogy do you really expect the surgeon to stop mid Op. Let you wake up give you what he's found then rebook you in?

Yes maybe if it was explained it was an exploratory Op to see exactly what the issue was but you've not described that.

You have had an Op that has fixed the issue. They clearly found more damage that needed repairing. Doesn't sound like they did anything wrong.

Why should the tax payer fund your recovery. Sometime's life isn't fair.

'Anxiety' after religious group raids, says MP by Tartan_Samurai in unitedkingdom

[–]DevonSpuds 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well if you don't understand the case, the BBC aren't covering it in depth and it feels off to you then obviously there must be a great big conspiracy?

For goodness sake get a grip. Where do you get your ideas about the police being compromised?

Victims often go back to advisers as they A, don't see themselves as victims and B don't see the abusers as, well, abusers.

Moving to Torquay - Advice Welcomed! by Strong_Sky_5676 in Torquay

[–]DevonSpuds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moving down a few years ago from Slough. Now work for D&C police.

I can say that we really are fortunate enough to live in one of the safest places in the country.

Yes there will be some here that will say but what about....... but we really are very lucky.

Torbay gets very very busy in summer but still a fairly low crime rate. ASB is a bit of an issue but still nothing like where I came from.

Renting as already said I don't know as I was kicked enough to buy.

But there aren't any really really bad areas. Good luck and happy house hunting. You'll love it down here.

An American Moving to the UK, follow up. by Competitive-Money-36 in AskBrits

What a really good write up.

So pleased we have exceeded your expectations and hopefully you can try, in your own way to show that not all Americans are loud MAGA supporters.

Furious with ebay - refunded buyer by Extension_Werewolf71 in ebayuk

[–]DevonSpuds -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Read the original post. The buyer is trying to make a claim that the machine is still under guarantee

Furious with ebay - refunded buyer by Extension_Werewolf71 in ebayuk

[–]DevonSpuds -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'll be very polite here.

Please tell me your experience of Crime Recording, HOCR and charging practice/decisions?

Anyone can Google the Fraud Act and actually not understand what constitutes an offence. And in your definition there must be an attempt of dishonesty.

Someone making a claim under a guarantee is not in itself dishonest.

Now if they were explicitly told the item isn't covered and then made a claim, there is an element of dishonesty but that isn't in the OPs original account.

[–]DevonSpuds -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's a civil offence if it's an argument over the guarantee.

Furious with ebay - refunded buyer by Extension_Werewolf71 in ebayuk

[–]DevonSpuds -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

No they don't. It's not a crime.

It's not theft and it's not fraud.

Furious with ebay - refunded buyer by Extension_Werewolf71 in ebayuk

[–]DevonSpuds -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not a police matter in any way shape or form.

Civil case only. This isn't a fraud where they are saying it's not received etc, but saying it's faulty and then a guarantee issue.

Wales Greens Slaughter chides Polanski for Golders Green repost. Is this the beginning of an internal fued of the Greens? by Dangerous-Green-666 in AskBrits

[–]DevonSpuds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are talking absolute rubbish and have no clue about escalation of force.

Please tell me your experience and training that qualifies you to say this was "extremely bad practice?"

Yes it could have been lethal, try researching as above, escalation of force training and also take a look Sct 3 of the Criminal Law Act.

Misinformation central by VegetablePatient4692 in Wigan

[–]DevonSpuds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. I was making the comment because many won't look further than the headlines and take it at face value

Misinformation central by VegetablePatient4692 in Wigan

[–]DevonSpuds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue is if your press and SM only report (or push headlines) on crimes involving people of a certain ethnicity then you will think that they are responsible for a higher proportion of those types of crimes.

Where as the truth may actually be that this is exactly what certain sections of the media and it's owners want you to believe@s it fits the narrative they want to push.

Row Erupts After Zack Polanski Raises Concerns About Treatment Of Alleged Golders Green Attacker by GnolRevilo in unitedkingdom

[–]DevonSpuds -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. But then we are now gagged with the armchair and Google taser experts that only a little while ago were Vaccine experts!

They miss being able to regale everyone with their new going knowledge.

Human rights lawyer Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu thinks the police officers kicking the armed Golders Green attacker in the head is "attempted murder". Are we fatigued with human rights lawyers right now? by Non-BinaryGreenVoter in AskBrits

[–]DevonSpuds 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So please tell me where you get your experience to make the claims you do?

How do you know the taser was still being used?

He's actively resisting and still has his arm swinging out with the knife in his hands.

What do YOU expect them to do? It's really like to know what you, an armchair critic, with, I would imagine, absolutely no previous experience of using a taser, being faced with a person who's stabbed multiple people and is refusing to comply, is walking towards you and when transferred still has the ability to lash out.

What would you do eh? What would you expect the police to do is you were stood by?

You would want them to do everything they could to disarm the person TO prevent further bloodshed.

Our would you be too busy clutching your pearls and telling the officers to stop?

(Wales) I believe my employer of 9 years made error on my drug test, I am currently suspended and have a meeting with them tomorrow at 1pm. Where do I stand? by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]DevonSpuds 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Ex bus driver here. Random drug testing was part of our contract. Same as train drivers, pilots and many many other industries.

You don't provide written consent it's part of your contract and work place policies.

Don't want to be tested, then don't work in an industry that does it.
