LETTERS TO BEN: Curry Night Thanks + Siren Alert + Obtaining Security Clearance for Nuclear

Dear Ben,

It was an enlivening evening with Johnny Mercer MP at Mint last night, it was great to get to meet Johnny and be inspired by his story ad also meet with other members of the Bath Conservatives.

On a more sobering note, earlier in the day, I banged my index finger on the table as I was startled by the unnecessary use or a siren starting up just outside my house. It is a minor injury but very painful and debilitating. I just wanted to make the point that we don't want to hear sirens blaring in Bath, especially not if they will cause anxiety or other injury through stress or shock. I think that the emergency services have been using sirens inappropriately which is a dangerous for drivers and others. 

For example, the roadway along Camden Crescent is over a private viaduct, the council has maintained a public roadway but it would cost millions of pounds of council money to maintain the arrangement if the viaduct gets further damaged by dangerous driving along Camden Crescent. I think it best sirens only be use when need, not at night when there is no traffic, not on an empty road as an excuse for driving fast when it is too dangerous to, not unless specially requested as it is causing stress and heartache, above and beyond the noise from the low-flying planes to Bristol Airport.

One final point is that in my role as nuclear consultant, I would like to obtain Security Clearance, could you help me with this?

Best regards,

William

Letter to Wera Hobhouse, MP for Bath regarding lived experience in the UK and her new legislation Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023

  I would like to share my recent experiences with you regarding this legislation, and would ask for some advice on my plans for my recovery from schizophrenia.   I feel that I have not received protection from harassment at work for my protected characteristics: I am an Anglo Indian and from a visual inspection look like the leader of the Indian opposition (to my eyesight), yet I have to deal with comments ranging from ‘I couldn’t tell you were Indian’ to ‘you look like you are from Southern Europe’, or ‘where are you from’ even though to my ear I usually speak in the central Bath accent as opposed to RP.     I have the diagnoses of dyslexia, autism and serious mental health (schizophrenia). I have had my mental health triggered recently by a colleague from Banes council harassing me at work, so I quit my job to focus on studying to become a reflexologist.   I am a Christian having been a member of the congregation at Bath Abbey and getting confir...

Thoughts of Grandma and Grandpa

Grandma and Grandpa at home in their 1 acre garden Grandpa was a scientist but no one paid him too much heed. He was a naval officer, Chief science officer, presumably naval lieutenant or, perhaps commander. I have never found out but I presume to have inherited the rank in British society. He had written about a voyage subsequent to WW2 where his ship promoted most ratings to officer rank, a 20 th century voyage of discovery where everyone made progress on their naval rank post war, so that most of the ships complement ended up as officers at the end of the voyage. This was led by a Rear-admiral so it must have all been legitimised by the mandarins at Whitehall. Grandpa never really approved of their pandering to communist sympathies. How many tweets make a twat again David Cameron? I think he was talking about Nick Clegg. #JokeOfTheDay my grandma thought I was an upper-class twit after I went to Eton. She thought it was more important to get a car and go on dates and make ou...
