I now have confirmed 4 properties and owners in close proximity to this home acting on information that came from LCC contract update in September 2020. The simplest one is this: I want a footpath - Subject Pronoun/Verb/Object LCC on September 15th 2020 is the object in that sentence and it is hand written by a member of AGS in a statement. I am sure that person wanted a footpath before September 15th 2020 and was delighted to get the update. Bullies can be well dressed and well off too but you would never hear our Minister for Justice call them scumbags. I hope you realise that I am not what anyone expected and will not be treated in such a manner by my peer age group who just came back to visit and brought the kids after 30 years of privilege in this society due to good health, good jobs and all opportunities this society provided to them since teenager years. Not all of us had that life but I am not here for their entertainment or exploitation. I want my right under the law to defend my name and person.
