Their stated 10 working days time ought to mean that I should receive the copy Decree Absolute a week from today,on 9 September.

Thursday 26 August - received the copy Marriage Cert.from Wakefield register Office as per their 5 working days  as stated.

And now?

I wait..

HEY DUDE,WHERE'S MY PENSION? :Episode 1

 And so it begins,,

I received a letter from the DWP - dated 5 August - on August 12.All their official postal correspondence is sent second class post.

Having seemingly completed all necessary formalities weeks earlier regarding my State Pension claim, this was I assumed a final confirmation of the information I had given them.

Besides my hand written details that I'd previously provided them with such Credit Union acc.no.etc,It turns out that they require a copy of my marriage cert. and a copy of the Decree Absolute,without which they cannot complete my Pension claim.

Within an hour of reading their letter,I phoned and immediately emailed both the Wakefield Register Office and The Civil Justice Centre to ascertain what needed doing.

The Register office responded by email the next day with what I needed to do - £11 for a 5 working days turnaround  search + £2.50 postage. IL paid for it via Card on the online form.

On Monday  August 16 I phoned the CJC to see what progress my email was making.They checked their 7 day backlog of emails received to confirm receipt. I phoned them again on the 17th.where they took  quite a lot longer to retrieve my email.Their backlog had not shortened.During both calls I was given to understand that once they got round to dealing with my email they would after their search contact me via phone for payment.

On Friday 20th.after a third call to CJC,yet another different " Colleague" informed me authoritatively that I ought to have been told straightaway that the £10/£45?£65 search fee is payable upfront.That person apologised and I managed to persuade them to include their apology for their earlier misinformation in an email.Which they did at close of business on the 20th.

£10 if I knew the Decree absolute's original Case Ref No. ,£45 if I didn't but I was certain that either Wakefield or Pontefract County Court issued it or £65 if I am unsure and would have to apply via Central Index in London.Oh yes and the apologetic email of the 20th had a pdf attached with Form 440 which is how you apply to Central Index.

Today,being Monday 23, IL kindly downloaded the 4 pages of Form440 and have agreed to pay the £65 CQ which I hope to be mailing out first class in a couple of days time.The Central Index turnaround time is 10 working days.

By the way, that DWP letter dated the 5th which I got on the 12th.They enclosed a 2nd class reply envelope;asking for all the necessary docs to be enclosed and sent to them forthwith -their explicit demand by no later than August 19.Otherwise there'd be delays processing my Pension claim.

and so it goes...

            DUMB INSOLENCE #31

The governmental / deep state / metropolitan ruling elites / global corporate capitalist engineered State of Emergency around the Covid-19 virus continues unabated.

As indeed intended.

Pity the weary masses,especially in Great Britain.Four years of tortuous EU-funded Remaoner seditionist shennanigans and now this load of okd cobblers.

The progressive,enlightened,democratic and libertarian resistance remains steadfast in promoting the indelible virtues of scepticism and nuanced critique of the Tyrants' misrepresentation & obfuscation that has descended like an impenetrable smog over the populace.

Until such time as when all this artificially induced madness ceases or something actually interesting and of importance occurs - War,Famine,actual pestilence; this here Blog goes into furlough.

DUMB INSOLENCE is / wad a continuation under a different titles of the long running fahrenheit451 series.

Besides this blogspot archive there is also AND SO IT GOES at www.louiskasatkin.WordPress.com

that goes all the way back to 2011 & was archived at the same time as fahrenheit451back in March.

As a long time microblogger on twitter that continues.A Guerilla hit & run strategy is sustainable.

VIVE LA RESISTANCE!

 "Creatives" - West End luvvies,Guardian supporting scribblers,opinionated Poetry Society hacks,Radio 3 musicians are all for waving placards & shouting vacuous slogans when it came to protesting Apartheid in South Africa or egregious human rights violations in Myanmar.

But for most of them,this corrupt tyrannical govt.and its Culture Recovery Fund has bought their collective silence.And what few voices there are merely underscores the morally repugnant hypocrisy of those who have chosen to say nothing about the ongoing massive violation of our human & democratic rights under the guise of Covid-19.

Herewith my most recent tweet.

Eric Clapton , Van Morrison , Lionel Shriver & maybe some others less well publicised apart ,where are the rest of the creatives?authors,poets,musicians,actors etc who defend our inalienable human & democratic rights? Nowhere of course- spineless cowardly bastards. https://t.co/7CFgM5bIqx

I'm sure Michael Heseltine & the rest of the EU funded seditionist rabble of Remainers can find a convenient stone they can all crawl back under.

I start with the concluding epithet because there is nothing left to argue or debate.

After practically 4 years of ceaseless conspiratorial endeavour to sabotage/delay/derail Brexit - the EU funded seditionist Remain campaign hobbles on its crutches even as 2020 draws to its inexorable conclusion.

The historically moribund, economically sclerotic crumbling EU 4th Reich now has only 9 net contributing member satrapies.

They're already missing our Danegeld payments.

And of course the 18 mendicants'clamour for more of some other poor dumb sucker's money to help them featherbed their own dysfunctional corrupt inefficient shithole economies just grows ever louder the more they can cozen from the 9 in the first instance.

I think that's what economists mean by a virtuous circle.Then again probably not.

Tschüß!

DUMB INSOLENCE #28

 In a quite brilliant interview with Laura Perrins in "Conservative Woman" ,Peter Hitchens delivered a master class non-pareil in reason and common sense.

Google it,check it for yourself.

Here's a taster:

"It is not really a tyranny, unless you can construct a tyranny out of marshmallow. It is more of an obdurate, glutinous stupidocracy, which intelligent people find intolerable while the rest mutter ‘mustn’t grumble’ as they absorb the latest insult or humiliation. But we must try to oppose it. What we do here and now will matter somewhere else at some other time. If our formerly free society shrivels into a banana republic, ruled by puerile slogans and Johnsonian populism, without one serious cry of protest or one notable effort to save it, we ought to be ashamed of ourselves."


As for my own weltanschauung on the Covid19 health scare, things are progressing most satisfactorily indeed.

The degenerate,apostate western liberal democracies sink ever deeper into their own egregious quagmire and take great swathes of the globalist capitalist economy and its practitioners with them.

There are none righteous among them,no not one.

When the merest administrative requirement in such a health scare- a vaccine- is disingenuously elevated to the realm of quasi-miraculous deliverance then you know how lamentably dumbed down public political discourse has become.

And I get to fully enjoy Schadenfreude.

And Brexit has still yet to go thermonuclear across the economy.

The pan(ic)demic grinds on stoked by governments' own generated hyperbole.

England's second national lockdown (martial law by another name) is due to end in a couple of days and morph into a..lockdown! But one's that presented as a regionalised,nuanced three tier system of de-facto martial law.

More or less the same generic response is being repeated ad infinitum,ad nauseam across the length and breadth of the European continent.

Meanwhile in the U.S.the incumbent President continues to deny that he lost the election three weeks ago.Biden's inauguration is on January 20th.Go figure.

Conflicts in Yemen,Libya,Syria,Afghanistan,Azerbaijan and Ethiopia continue to get short shrift in the western MSM.

Whether any of the combatants are observing rules on social distancing remains I think a moot point in most cases.

I am growing increasingly firm in the view that you might as well write 2021 off now.

The daily persiflage surrounding the Covid19 health scare continues,for the most part,to be quite amusing on occasion especially when Old Lardarse bumbles & mutters his verbiage- as if he's in the middle of having a stroke.

And so it goes..
