Hector Pickaxe And The Floating Crowbars - "Friends in Low Places." (480)

To the Business Secretary:
For Clarity - Attempt 480.

480) Hector Pickaxe And The Floating Crowbars - "Friends in Low Places."

Dear Mr Javid,

The song goes,
"Just give me an hour and then,
Well, I'll be as high,
As that ivory tower you're livin' in."

The mushrooming of ivory towers further inflating the London property market - owned by who knows who and who gives a shite anyway - is hugely symbolic of David Cameron's, "Big Society" and just how deeply he believes that, "we're all in this together." It's simply being aspirational to live in one. A latter day version of, "keeping up with the Joneses." The glue that binds us together.

Occupying one of London's prime locations in Parliament Square and dictating Government policy - behind the scenes, with a little bit of, "engagement work" and "political influencing" - is the RICS.

The Gold Standard of "Wankererism." (Again, acknowledgements to Mr Johnson) 

They are one of the principal exponents of, "light-touch" regulation and have the cowboy surveyors and dodgy ombudsman to prove it.

Why is there a need for RICS' "appointed" private redress - with its attendant job creation for loafers? Why don't they do the job they're supposed to do and get on with regulating their cowboys in the first place? Then there wouldn't be any cowboys in the first place - they'd be given the bum's rush and the world would be a happier place. for it. Simple really.

At www.adamfellows.com we read,
"Methods:  The commission decided that transparency was key in their work, so all papers and minutes were published."
And,
"Some members thought that enshrining the right to a form of administrative justice should also be enshrined in the Bill if this was ever drafted."

The Bill being - the British Bill of Rights - and not the Old Bill although we believe they should have been drafted onto this long ago. (Please see our "Consumers' Charter" where we said administrators - those who helped capture capitalism and rig it - should be financially accountable for their misdemeanours.)

The Chair of this Commission was Sir Leigh Lewis who also sits on the Board of Ombudsman Services.

Q. Mr Javid, if transparency is good enough for Sir Leigh Lewis' Commission, why isn't it also good enough for Ombudsman Services where the company's minutes - once published - have now vanished from its website and where Ombudsman Services:Property's Annual Report is but a pale imitation of what went before?
Q. Mr Javid, what are they attempting to hide - rigged redress and maladministration?

Yours sincerely
