    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

LOL

 

Four years after he kicked off the Trump presidency by lying angrily about the size of the inauguration crowd, the former press secretary Sean Spicer has applied to join the White House press corps.

 

The former Republican party official now hosts a show, Spicer & Co, on the hard-right and conspiracy theory-tinged Newsmax network.

I think he might be more worried about this than a pending 'inciting insurrection' charge.

Eleven Republicans vote to throw Marjorie Taylor Greene off committees

The result effectively removed any influence she may have had on committees instrumental to oversight and legislation

 

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/feb/04/marjorie-taylor-greene-congress-democrats-committees

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/marjorie-taylor-green-11-gop-adam-kinzinger-b1797921.html

 

"The US House of Representatives has voted to strip the extremist Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia of her committee assignments, in a stark rebuke over her incendiary and racist statements  ...

included supporting the assassination of Democratic members of Congress, denying that a plane crashed into the Pentagon on 11 September 2001, and perpetuating the myth that the Parkland, Florida, school shooting in 2018 was faked."

 

"Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican minority leader, has called Greene’s past comments “looney lies”.

- but still voted in support of her and with the other Republican leadership refused to remove the freshman congresswoman themselves.

 

"with 230 voting in favor and 199 voting against. Just 11 Republicans, including Adam Kinzinger and Brian Fitzpatrick, joined with Democrats to strip Greene of her positions on the House budget and education and labor committees."

 

House rules committee chairman, Jim McGovern said: “I stand here today still deeply, deeply troubled and offended by the things that she has posted and said and still not apologized for,”

Pehaps Corbyn should take heed of Jim McGoverns statement there

Interesting that the republicans cant actually win the impeachment ..

Trump can, but the republicans cant

 

They have a choice of supporting Trump and defining that a president can do what he likes ... with a democrat president enthroned

 

or supporting the conviction of Trump and retaining some credibility .. but not so much with the loony right.

– urging lawmakers to dump the veteran Kentucky politician.

 

“Mitch is a dour, sullen, and unsmiling political hack, and if Republican Senators are going to stay with him, they will not win again. He will never do what needs to be done, or what is right for our country,” said Mr Trump.

'Donald Trump has discontinued the blog-type website he launched in a fanfare less than a month ago as “a beacon of freedom” and “a place to speak freely and safely”.'

 

'he Trump blog, a mouthpiece for his false claims about a rigged 2020 presidential election, failed to gain traction and on 21 May the Washington Post reported it had attracted a “staggeringly small audience”.'

U.S. Catholic bishops backed away from a proposal to deny communion to President Biden because of his stance on abortion.

 

.. Mind you, all controversy, personal conflict and soul searching around that subject aside, it seems not so controversial a decision to me given the Catholic church do seem to guarantee both communion, protection and sanctuary to child abusing members of their organisation/order/faith/cult (.. delete as appropriate to your opinion

 

The protection of child abusers from legal retribution calls into question the moral standing and credibility of any person or organisation IMO

 

(no offense implied or intended to any truly decent, spiritual members of any faith)

I think it possible that the yanks are picking away at the presumption of 'almost invulnerability' of a president, where it used to be that them losing a vote was considered punishment a plenty - and the ex pres accepted that. Yes there are presidents (sic) ... but

Yep they are

Latest poll of polls on Trump, and its a steady trend downwards  (simple approve or not, no comparisons)

 

Disapprove 59%

Approve 38% (even that 'high astounds me)

 

and despite the 'no comparisons I don't question at all that Biden is propping that up a fair bit

If there were a reasonably charismatic younger democrat ,Trump would undoubtedly be flushed away, like Farage

Latest polls Democrats v GOB GOP

 

Democrats with a growing 5.9 point lead up from barely 2 point lead a couple of months ago

- amazing given the 'usual' kick backs against parties around half terms

 

 

Source - YougovAmerica (and poll of polls)

Full question: If an election for US Congress were being held today, who would you vote for in the district where you live?

 

Democrat : 44.3%

Republican : 38.4%

 

perhaps why growing numbers of Republicans are turning on Trump
