					<description><![CDATA[As far as the &#039;entitlement&#039; of Mr and Mrs Clamp are concerned, it simply comes down to a purchase made by Mrs Clamp&#039;s father, Mr Michael Gooley [multimillionaire founder of travel company Trailfinders].  He bought the title for her as a birthday gift some years ago, together with a tiny patch of land in Scotland. This is one of the many vacant Scottish titles which are available for purchase. I am making the assumption that it was a tongue in cheek gift, given her massive ego and unbelievable level of arrogance. However, a simple purchase has legally &#039;entitled&#039; her ~ and my God, does she flaunt it!!! This is not hearsay.

Erm, maybe the project was to buy a property, in a street, in a town. And maybe grant money was available to buy it. But I don&#039;t know because you wont share the evidence. Reading the replies though I&#039;m still struggling to see what the issue is. I can&#039;t see that anyone has leased old properties from any offshore companies. 

This is my point though. You&#039;ve decided that there is something wrong, so you are trying to find the evidence that fits your theory. In the meantime you discard the evidence that doesn&#039;t support your theory. Hardly giving a balanced view, is it?]]></description>

OK, smart-ass, give us &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;your&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; interpretation of &lt;a href=&quot;https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4K4SZ2l1_qIU1RCVVU5M3UxVmM/view?usp=sharing&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the original&lt;/a&gt; from which I concluded - 

&lt;em&gt;&quot;You’ll note that in the first part of the letter, talking of the Social Housing Grant with regard to Pembrokeshire Housing, Sargeant, or whoever wrote the letter, is clear that SHG must be “spent on pre-determined developments and projects”. Which is what I would expect, because I&#039;ve always regarded the SHG as a capital grant for new housing, creating jobs and putting money into an area.

Yet in the second part of the letter, when dealing with Link Holdings (Gibraltar) Ltd, we read, “An RSL (registered Social Landlord aka housing association) is able to purchase the leasehold title of a property, and is able to receive Social Housing Grant Money to do so”.  How can a capital grant for “pre-determined developments and projects” be used to lease old properties from offshore companies?&quot;&lt;/em&gt;]]></description>

But Jac, they are not obvious facts, they are your opinion, based on your own biased view. A true journalist would gather the facts, examine them and present the evidence. You get an idea in your head, look for information and then try to make the facts fit. I&#039;m not defending anybody or anything. All I&#039;m saying is that you should back your allegations up with facts, not guesswork. If you have evidence, as Wynne states, then why dont you publish it?]]></description>

It&#039;s not what I read in the responses issued, but the fact that you both make up conclusions to suit your own agendas. You see a conspiracy because you want to see one. 

And I can&#039;t understand why Welsh Government keeps issuing Wynne with closing down letters everytime he present his &quot;evidence of wrongdoing&quot;. Maybe if you published the evidence here I would take a different view, It does sound outrageous that when presented with evidence the system just locks down and silences him (maybe I&#039;m naieve), but if the letters and evidence were published here, then there could be no hiding from it. I suppose what I&#039;m saying is put your money where your mouth is.

As for who I am, I&#039;m Brent- a good English name, but a Welsh speaker. I&#039;m self employed, not that it&#039;s any business of yours.]]></description>

I see I must have misunderstood. I had not been aware that HB can only be stopped for reason of death if an MIR has been notified and had assumed that there were other mechanisms by which this could be done locally. It is fortunate for Ms Clarke that she didn&#039;t commit a driving offence while being untaxed or insured by reason of being legally dead.
An irony is that in situations where the body cannot be found, obtaining probate can be virtually impossible; tying up estates for decades and plunging families into poverty.]]></description>

Not with the same NI number.

Shipman was caught because he was unusual being the GP who treated the patient was also the GP who completed the Medical Certificate of Cause of Death (MCCD). A manual process was used. 

Even then, this was irregular. It would usually be a different doctor other than the one treating the patient who does the MCCD.  Shipman was sacked from previous medical practices for not following the correct procedure.  He could have been caught sooner had there been someone as diligent as an observant rent officer at Blaenymaes as is the case of Ms Clarke.

In Wales, Local Health Boards appoint Medical Examiners, who is the ‘owner’ of the MCCD and distributor of the MIR. This is MIRed to the registrar. The MCCD part follows the body at the mortuary. A second doctor updated the MCCD as presumed consent applied in Wales on organ donation.  It applies to all deaths in Wales.

Its possible for a MCCD being done from a roadside by a paramedic and instantly advertise available organs to any hospital in need along the M4 (the usually a MIR to UHW).  Second doctor flag done on arrival. I can assure Troi, that (a) they do not extract organs from the living, and (b) certification of death does not rely on aunty Flo requesting a printed certificate for posting to Swalec.  

This is when death becomes official. It applies to all deaths in Wales. It does not vary. 
If the death needs to be referred to the coroner for cause, then organs cannot be extracted.  

When death is official.  Crown bodies are then MIRed which includes local authorities, benefits departments, and the DWP.  The ‘tell us once’ mechanism widely used at .gov is probably misnamed as it’s more of a ‘claim’ on the body, and administration of affairs. The record already exists as a shared MIR, as does the corpse.

This covers all deaths.
It does not vary in Wales.
The UK border agency are MIRed on the death of foreign nationals. 
Police may be asked to investigate any John Dows. 

The only reason why private companies (like utilities and banks) accept a provisional statement of death pending the receipt of a printed certificate is that they can be sued for refund and distress by the executor of the estate for not acting, or, themselves suffer irrecoverable financial loss from continuing to trade with a dead person. 

Strangely, Unlike other utility bills, TV licensing is a crown body and included in the MIR distribution. She will get a refund from the BBC when Swansea City Council informed her of her death.  The council, being a crown body, must act on, and ONLY on, the MIR initiated by the MCCD, usually via their own records office. 

Whether kin has applied for a printed certificate is irrelevant, although it does help the revenues department deal with council tax.

Ms Clarke is no longer dead.
Whodunit?]]></description>
