I got scammed £52 on phone insurance by a company from Swansea called Sealaway. They get numbers from branches of CarPhoneWarehouse (who buy phone numbers in blocks and let you view a list of available numbers and choose one). The scammers presumably must view this system, guess numbers that have been taken and then phone you pretending to be CarPhoneWarehouse or others offering cheaper insurance. Yeah, stupid stupid me..

Only it’s not real insurance (not underwritten by anyone), I got phoned from 01792306900 and searching the web lead to me WhoCalls Me.com. Just put in a number and see if anyone else has reported it and loads of stories- over 7 pages on that number. So recommended as a place to look if you get phone calls that you don’t recognise. The site is very simple and fast; recomended.

The Metropolitan Police are now showing crime figures in London, down to the sub-ward Level- i.e. how many crimes in an area that is just under 700 households.

Maybe it’s me but I get the feeling that this is done begrudgingly because the Home secretary wanted it. It would not take an awful lot of information to make this

• Available for Time Periods- eg say last 10 years
• Categorised by Nature of Crime eg minor (muggings), serious etc.

It’s a start anyway. Easy to see which areas are most crime ridden. Avoid Southwark!

I know someone who has fallen victim of the targets for adoption set for Social Services so I am writing this. The extreme secrecy laws regarding this (publish details and you will be sent to prison!) mean that an enormous number of families are being split asunder, not because the children are at risk but because Social Services get paid money for meeting Govt Targets.

Who says this? British Members of Parliament. Read this BBC Story. Or this article about Family Courts by Camilla Cavendish in the Times newspaper.

Very Important - If you are affected read this. Even if you aren’t, read it, as it highlights in a bit haphazard way but extremely detailed way what is going on. Here are more websites on the same subject.

Social Workers will give you false hope that your children won’t be taken by the following tactics. They will encourage you to split from your partner and give up your job. They will lie, they will get school teachers to lie (none of this is sadly made up), they will even try to get into your home and look for evidence that your child is Emotionally abused. No other European country allows this type of let’s call it what it is, Nazi behaviour.

Please, please go to the main link and read it. It gives details on what they will try and what you must do. Social Workers only get away with this because Family Courts are secretive and unreported (Report any details and go directly to Jail- Do not Pass Go!) . If the evidence that Social Workers use is exposed to a proper UK court they would be laughed out of court. It is a corrupt and shameful system and everyone in the UK should be made aware of it.

Please digg this story as more people need to know, to pressure their MPs and stop it happening.

The chap who set up this website (a Marijuana dealer called Sean Bucci), I think has just been convicted and sentenced. I suspect the US Law Efforcement agencies were not to happy having their informants details (revealed legally) spread across the web.

Mind you- on the wikipedia entry about the site this is said “The Department of Homeland Security is said to have issued an advisory about the site, warning law enforcement officers not even to view the site. “Visiting the site could result in the compromise of government IP addresses. Searching the site for a particular name could result in that name being cross-indexed to the IP address of the computer used to make the inquiry. Searching for the names of officers or informants could compromise those individual’s identities. Any website is capable of collecting IP address and search information from visitors, but this site is remarkable because it makes visitor information public.”

So quite controversial. Except a knock at the door by the FBI any day now after you visit it! (Possibly not if you live outside the USA)
