We believe that we and our five daughters have been SHAFTED at
Penarth Marina
Cardiff Bay Wales by
Crest Plc
(since under new ownership of HBOS Plc and
West Coast Capital - 'Castle
Bidco') and their erstwhile subsidiary company, Crest Nicholson Marinas Limited,
since reformed under a new name as Quay Marinas Limited
Our own dream houseboat-home and all our Family life-time personal possessions have been seized,
and more recently disposed of. We are struggling to come to terms with the total cessation of our beautiful and dedicated way of life, 14 continuous years in houseboat-living.
Up until the eviction, our five children had only ever lived this way of life.
Nevertheless, We all still miss it so dearly. We miss our 7 pet goldfish too,
which were also seized, and we are still prevented by Court injunction from visiting our former neigbours and friends at Penarth Marina.
Why has no Court yet to protect our fundamental Human Rights to 'RESPECT'?
We are ordinary people who simply can not afford the generally perceived practice, and unspoken rules in this country, of Poker-Law; where it would seem, that the side with the most money, privilege and influence, gets the 'winning' result, Justice of the wallet!
Despite,
(at the time of legal proceedings) qualifying for, and being in receipt of, a full-time student loan, our Family
was barred from receiving legal aid. According to the rules of eligibility, we 'earned' too much! Since when has it been the case that money borrowed, is said to be earnings? What is the United Kingdom, this great country coming to? Where is there any Social Justice? Who are the real bullies in our society?
We have yet to find anyone in authority, (including our own Member of Parliament, Mr. Alun Michael,) who is able to demonstrate, that they are either politically motivated, practically interested, or committed enough, (even on a humanitarian level,) to champion the aims of our Family Campaign for
Social Justice. Let's face it, what happened is wrong. Why the silence? Ours is a simple call, for a 'Fair and Just Solution', to end this deeply personal, Family nightmare.
