“The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything”
– Albert Einstein
I would like to encourage the public to make informed decisions based on facts, rather than what is claimed by CHA and their enablers, who are unfit for the positions they hold.
My son and I are not the only respectable family driven out of their homes by unregulated, corrupt housing associations and their enablers. Some people have to pay landlords extortionate rent to live in really squalid conditions, whilst those at the top of the authority, acquire high incomes, legal protection and avoid accountability for breaking multiple laws, whilst they pretend to work in the public’s interest. Their salaries and that of their legal teams are paid for by the public – you know, the people they abuse!
Many tenants have been driven to suicide or become homeless because of their unethical behaviour and corruption. Some have had accidents in unsafe homes and property destroyed, but the decision makers, just ‘look the other way’ and facts and statistics are hidden/altered/destroyed to cover their negligence.
When dishonesty begets dishonesty: “Unethical behaviour is rewarded/promoted, but decency is treated with contempt, leading to the wider public being put at great risk of harm”.
If the laws had been upheld earlier and our rights protected, my website would not have existed. I apologise for typos, grammar, the size of some pages, (and glitches/anomalies out of my control). I am not a techy person but I wanted to show many examples, with evidence to support my points because everything is in reverse of how it is meant to be in a civilised society.
CORRUPTION THROUGHOUT THE UK ESTABLISHMENT IS RIFE – it is the only thing propping it up!
Corruption and the UK | Transparency International UK
Transparency International (TI) defines corruption as ‘the abuse of entrusted power for private gain’.
With that in mind: meet some of Nicola Sturgeon’s rats, and I am not talking about the furry, four-legged variety which she has been breeding in Glasgow, to the detriment of the health of those having to live in the city. Maybe Nicola, the defender of all rats , is hoping to re-introduce the plague! Just because she is not the FM anymore, does not mean she no longer uses influence for favours. However, anyone supporting corruption, reveals themselves as being untrustworthy by association.
Updated page 17/08/24: see also Ch 8 for the Ministerial Code which the SNP routinely break.
Criminal Justice Act 1988 (legislation.gov.uk)
134Torture.
“(1)A public official or person acting in an official capacity, whatever his nationality, commits the offence of torture if in the United Kingdom or elsewhere he intentionally inflicts severe pain or suffering on another in the performance or purported performance of his official duties”. E.g. engaging in malicious intent to cause harm to drive someone out of their home, encouraging others to break laws, to facilitate psychological/physical & social abuse causing significant financial loss and resulting in loss of property.
Watch out for the word games by the self-titled elite, they are all lame excuses and rehearsed speeches to deflect attention away from their wrongdoing, to manipulate their target audience, and to avoid accountability. Catch them outside of their comfort zone and they are defenceless.
Background to Caledonia Housing Association’s (CHA) Campaign of Harassment
I just asked Housing Officer Cheryl Connelly from CHA, to desist from using an anti-social tenant (a.s.t.) to harass a 75-yr. old man and other tenants; (see chapters 3 then 6). Everything quickly snowballed from this. CHA Executives have huge but very fragile egos and go into attack mode very easily. My son and myself were then subjected to a catalogue of unlawful harassment and mistreatment, orchestrated by the Directors Tim Calderbank and Garry Savage, using some willing contractors and staff. I have named them all with evidence throughout my website.
The Directors instructed contractors; to tamper with our electricity by turning up high, the thermostat on a hot water cylinder and by-passing the breaker box, to elevate our bills (fire and electrocution risk) and the painters to seal our bedroom windows shut. CHA engaged in multiple violations of our privacy (Ch.6), numerous data protection breaches (Ch.’s 5 & 6), defamed my character to influence opinion against me, withheld services; including ignoring an OT and the Equality Act, forced us to pay for our own kitchen, and deliberately left our home insecure and more to *harass us out of our home, (Ch.’s 6 & Ch 7; after I was forced to move out; CHA harassed my son, breaking the law again)
CHA are not the only ones who lack integrity or credibility. CHA’s law-breaking, malicious intent to cause us harm, was perfectly acceptable to the so-called regulators and the government. CHA Directors and those who assisted them have broken many laws, including criminal offences under *The Rent Scotland Act 1984.
When I took CHA to court, one of CHAs lawyers repeatedly lied and a second tried to rewrite legislation. Both went against the Law Society’s rules. (see written evidence in Ch.’s 2 & 6). Standards for solicitors | Law Society of Scotland (lawscot.org.uk)
Sheriff Jillian Martin Brown denied me my legal rights, ignored court rules, and abandoned her solemn oath, (Ch.2 ), so CHA then went on to harass my son out of his home ( Ch.7). They would not have been able to do this, if the Sheriff had done her job and upheld the laws.
It is a prime example of how some people pursue careers to give them power and choose to use it for dishonourable means. No decent human being would protect this rotten company, but decent human beings are in short supply, when it comes to those holding positions of trust.
* Unlawful eviction and harassment of the occupier:
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1984/58/section/22
This law applies to CHA staff, directors & their solicitors, contractors. The sheriff was therefore complicit, by denying my court case to be heard.
(1)If any person unlawfully deprives the residential occupier of any premises of his occupation of the premises or any part thereof or attempts to do so he shall be guilty of an offence unless he proves that he believed, and had reasonable cause to believe, that the residential occupier had ceased to reside in the premises

Attempting to Pervert the Course of Justice / Attempting to Defeat the Ends of Justice – Crime.Scot
Using influence for personal gain and or to avoid accountability is proof of criminal abuse of position, It renders those responsible, unfit for office.
Explore this very informative website which exposes corruption in the judiciary, government and more.
‘FIRST INTERESTS: Judge recommended for judicial role by Nicola Sturgeon – found First Minister committed three counts of professional misconduct – in Law Society probe of Ms Sturgeon’s failure to provide legal service protections for domestic violence victim‘. As you can see, Nicola Sturgeon started early by abusing her position to avoid accountability. She carried on throughout her time as First Minister by surrounding herself with like-minded, dishonest people.
The Gov’t ignored my complaint (response in Ch.8), but did take something for future reference, Sheriff Jillian Martin Brown (poster girl for the judiciary),was promoted and added to the ‘little black book’, a collection of dishonourable officials to call upon, when needed!

Leader comment: Jury corruption is a threat to the rule of law | The Scotsman
(updated 13/08/24 due to the newspaper blocking access to the case – unless registered or a subscriber.)
Quoted from above article;”The six-year prison sentence imposed on Catherine Leahy for taking bribes in first Scottish jury corruption case is a warning to all.”
“One of the advantages that Scotland – and indeed the UK as a whole – has in this global market is its long-standing reputation for the adherence to the rule of law”.
Well it’s fair to say, my experience/evidence does not corroborate this statement, but shows the opposite is actually true! Corruption and unprincipled leaders are making a mockery of the rule of law.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-43823762
“Judge Lord Turnbull said sending Leahy to prison was the only option open to him.
“In my judgement to agree to accept a bribe from or on behalf of the accused while serving as a juror in that high court trial involved conduct that is such a serious breach of the public duty that forms a cornerstone of our freedom.“
Which is worse?
A sheriff presiding over many cases; when she disregards her solemn oath, court rules and the law, or a woman (who is sent to prison for 6 years) because she took a bribe to influence one case?
Later, even more power was given to Sheriff Jillian Martin Brown, to use influence in the best interests of the government & their buddies, therefore more opportunity to work against the public!
New SCTS Board members appointed (scotcourts.gov.uk)
to preside over tribunals & “She was appointed as a commercial sheriff in 2020.” Covering all the bases!
Fraud – Crime.Scot “Fraud is a dishonestly-made false pretence, in order to bring about a practical result” by Andrew Crosbie An Advocate at the Scottish Bar. This is another link which has altered in 2024 but I posted it several years ago- direct from the source. It happens a lot, especially as the politicians do not like being caught with evidence of them breaking policies or laws. Just like when they remove articles from social platforms. They also rewrite articles/laws after the fact! Yet many of us keep original copies😉
Culpable and Reckless Conduct – Crime.Scot
I have referred to the link several times throughout my website which used to be a layman’s guide to legal terms. Example:Margaret Ferrier SNP who broke the law, “At a diet of trial on 18 August 2022, you pled guilty to a charge of culpable and reckless conduct. It is a crime to endanger others by reckless conduct. ”
“The Scottish Daily Express has obtained a list of crimes that can be dealt with under Scotland’s soft-touch Recorded Police Warning (RPW) system. The list was leaked by a serving Police Scotland officer who is disgusted at the SNP’s Hate Crime Act.”
“But those who inflict violence, along with thieves, fraudsters and fire-raisers are being given a free pass. This leaked list of crimes are far from minor, confirming that the public were lied to. Ministers need to apologise and explain. Even by the pitiful standards of SNP weak justice, this is extraordinary.”
CHA Executive Management Team and their enablers (including the authorities who protect them), have a callous disregard to the health and welfare of service users.
Which is why they get on so well together!
quoted from The Daily Record accessed 03/11/20
“Paul McGeoghie, who needs a ventilator to help him breathe after having had a brain tumour, said he was “driven mad” by the noise…was forced to sleep outside, because his smoke alarm could not be silenced for 21 hours and false information was given to Paul by CHA, before they eventually turned off the alarm. ..and the typical response from the narcissistic Caledonia Housing Directors, was to deflect by blaming the contractors, who act under their instructions.
If members of the public complain to the so-called regulators (and in my case a sheriff), they take the side of the organisations and ignore the aggrieved members of the public. They operate under false pretences and steal data whilst they pretend to do their job. They are frauds, who then cover for each other whilst giving the public the run around. See throughout the website.
Service users
Please do not go outside and risk hypothermia. When someone’s mental/physical health is at stake, it’s unreasonable to expect tenants to put up with the deafening sound or stay outside in inclement weather.
Make a list in advance of all emergency contacts and keep by the phone. You could speak to your GP or some other health professional, (if there are any decent ones left) as it is a health issue, they may be able to advise and/or phone CHA themselves to facilitate some action.
Please keep records of phone calls to and from CHA and any authority. I recommend getting everything in writing. They cannot be trusted to behave honourably.
I must name the shameless people who have refused to do their jobs, to avoid any innocent colleagues being blamed. Just like when there is a thief in the workplace, everyone comes under suspicion until the culprit is identified. There is nothing worse than having your character defamed when you are innocent. Ask anyone who has received a Subject Access Request from CHA; because this company (and others) routinely defames/prejudices the opinion of others, behind their backs.
I will unreservedly apologise and remove their names, if I have wrongly accused someone of being complicit in covering for CHA, if they can show they have genuinely been misled or bullied. However, I am basing my opinions on the supporting evidence, on my own and other people’s experiences, knowledge of CHA, and the opinions of other decent people. That is the best any of us can do.
My family and myself (along with every member of the public), have more right to protect ourselves from state abusers, and those following their instructions, than they have to engage in abuse and then defend themselves with additional unscrupulous behaviour.
Any more harassment/bully tactics or withholding of services, from any source aimed towards my family or myself, then I will respond in kind, that is a promise. I was never a revengeful person before this, but as of now, my views have changed. If the legislation does not protect decent people, then we must do whatever we feel necessary; to protect ourselves including giving them a taste of their own medicine. After all those in authority, can all be named as our role models. Let us see how that works out for them!
Any Interference with my website/internet and actions to prevent me from obtaining legal or voluntary assistance etc, will also be recognised as harassment by denying me access to advice/services. It will also be interpreted as acts of hostility.
Criminal Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2010 – Explanatory Notes (legislation.gov.uk)
“Threatening or Abusive Behaviour” – Criminal Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2010 s38‘
..where that behaviour would be likely to cause a reasonable person to suffer fear or alarm and he or she either intends by the behaviour to cause fear or alarm or is reckless as to whether the behaviour would cause fear or alarm” example when CHA instructed contractors to tamper with my electricity, along with the clerk of works taking photos through my windows as evidenced in Ch 6. and later actions/ & threats to remove my income; examples in Ch 11. and in MY BANK INTENDS TO TAKE CONTROL OF MY MONEY
Since making the above statements, there has been more harassment and intimidation by authorities. They do not have the guts to take me into court; because they do not have a legal or moral leg to stand on, but still engage in dirty tactics using influence – to try to shut me up. Cowards! They just make me more determined to expose them to warn the public.
