To the Business Secretary at Business High Command:
For Clarity - Attempt 419.
419) No Man's Land 25th December 1914.
Dear Mr Javid,
We see that Frederick James Davies of Lampeter, Ceredigion wrote home to his family from the trenches of the First World War to tell them,
"We shook hands with them (the German soldiers). We gave them cigs, jam and corn beef. They also gave us cigars but they didn't have much food. I think they are hard up for it. They were fed up with the war." (BBC News - I day ago)
Under the heading, "The Troglodytes Come Out" we read of when,
"Then, very cautiously and with great courage unarmed German and Allied soldiers climbed out of their trenches and stand atop defences. Near Neuve Chapelle an Irish soldier brazenly walked across no-man's-land where he was greeted not with machine-gun fire, but with a cigar. His act of bravery inspired others in his troop to do the same. Similar scenes were repeated elsewhere as soldiers walked towards each others' trenches or simply meet half way.....
...Brigade HQ replied at 12.35 - Christmas day - saying: no communications of any sort to be held with the enemy nor is he allowed to approach our trenches under penalty of fire being opened." (www.gizmodo.com)
How could anyone not fail to be inspired by the courage, decency and heart-warming humanity of those extraordinary "ordinary" people.
What else might they have achieved if only High Command had not put a stop to the fraternisation between the two sides.
The Ombudsman Services Terms of Reference preclude any ombudsman having a background in the surveying sector. The ombudsman was subsequently appointed for her skills at, "mediation." DJS Research's Customer Satisfaction Reports attempted to bring to the attention of the company's High Command the widespread dissatisfaction complainants had with the ombudsman's botched attempts at mediation.
Under appalling and unimaginable conditions of wartime horror, soldiers from opposing sides were able to organise a truce, shake hands, share gifts and play games of football - yet in peacetime an ombudsman cannot mediate between surveyors and their dissatisfied clients.
Lions misled by donkeys.
Q. Mr Javid, when a private redress scheme fails so dismally hasn't the UK taxpayer a right to expect its politicians to show some courage, backbone and leadership at such times and to act decisively or have you all capitulated to the narrow vested interests of The RICS and its inadequately marshalled surveyors?
The Ombudsmans61percent Campaign is seeking:
- answers from Vince Cable.
- answers from Francis Maude.
- answers from Nich Clegg.
- answers from Mark Prisk.
- answers from Jo Swinson.
- answers from Sajid Javid.
- a public inquiry into the workings of Ombudsman Services:Property (a company formerly trading as the Surveyors Ombudsman Service before undergoing rebranding) and the role of The RICS.
- compensation for the victims of the ombudsman's illogical Final Decisions.
- compensation for the victims of the executives' maladministration.
- the setting up of a truly, "fair" and "independent" redress scheme free from The RICS' malign influence.
Comment is still free! If you have a story or information you'd like to share please do.
Yours sincerely,
