Conflict of interest

Following on from inconvenient truths, where we saw Julian Siddle brag about how Legal Beagles was instrumental in Carl Wright’s demise, we have to wonder about the ability for two potentially […]

What’s in a number?

Money above ethics: the big U-turn

After spending years fighting against CMCs and fee-paying DMP providers, the Beagles are now actively encouraging their use. No wonder they got rid of the CMC and PPI specialists.

Quantity over quality

A very interesting point has been made by one of our commentators: that Legal Beagles prefer quantity over quality. This can also been seen in their latest Facebook Christmas message […]

Tales of the Unexpected

Having read a few interesting fairy tales and horror stories, I decided to do a little post of my own. Trust is very important yet it is also very often broken. From a psychological perspective, there’s always a conflict between the need for trust and our natural tendency to spill the beans so to speak.

We have all been enjoying a rather interesting fairytale, now we have a bit of a horror movie. As noted by one of our commentators, many of you will be familiar with Stephen King’s Needful Things, where a nice middle-aged gentleman decided to set up shop in a quaint little town and in this lovely shop everyone in town found what they’d always wanted.

Here we have another little story. Once upon a time there was a nice, softly spoken, well educated middle-aged gentleman in a quaint little village nestled in a lovely valley amidst scenic hills. This little village was a bit further west than Mr Leland Gaunt’s town but it was also full of people who had similar desires and experienced the same trials and tribulations as the inhabitants of Castle Rock.

In this little village, this nice gentleman helped people with various problems, he liked to be involved in the community and was keen to offer a helping hand.

Hello, ladies and gentlemen. In the words of the esteemed Max Bygraves, “Let me tell you a story…”

Once upon a time, there was a forum – and pretty popular it was too. It gave decent advice and its members supported others along their journey, whatever or however hard it was.

One day, a new member appeared – we’ll call him Walter, after Walter Mitty. At first, this person seemed pretty au fait, and he claimed to be (amongst other things) a retired Head Teacher of some pretty posh schools, who now volunteered as a debt counsellor.

Hi there

Thanks for the link that I was sent by some kind person a while ago, I will not name names because I know this is read.

Anyway lets get one thing straight, in case anyone is worried. I am in no way anti-Semitic neither am I racist, sexist, bigoted a fascist or any of the other things that were suggested about me by your friend and mine nemesis45

I believe that I was banned because nemesis45 complained that I was anti Semitic although his spelling said anti emetic hence my joke that said yes he made me sick.

It is appalling that while I was banned for that he was able to post vile anti Islamic propaganda saying that Muslims come to this country as illegal immigrants force us to live by sharia law etc, all baseless. Not only that but he is still posting incomplete and inaccurate information such as the poor man who sent his cca request to the court and solicitors but who, if ithad been dealt with swiftly might have been able to get a defence in, in the nick of time. I did try but can not be on there 24/7.

Fortunately for the beagles the posts have been removed because I was intending to make a complaint to the police for allowing hate speech . If anyone has a copy of the posts I would love to receive them.

Finally hello again and thank you for the invitation – just to keep them all guessing , it came through a rather complicated route via a lovely lady who I was emailing about a claim although it wasn’t her directly that gave me the link.
