Dad and son forced to sleep in their car for months after

In its decision, the Ombudsman said it was clear there were delays in accepting and considering the homelessness application by Liverpool Council, as well as failing in its communication. I recognise communication with Mr X was not straightforward but am not persuaded the council took sufficient action to advise or support Mr X, or to ensure he understood what was required to progress his homelessness application. The council’s delays and communication failings have meant that Mr X has potentially had to live in his car, separated from his family for longer than he otherwise would have.” Wikipedia articles incorporating a citation from the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica with Wikisource reference

Mr X told the council he had been sleeping in his car for three months and that his 16-year-old son sometimes had to sleep in the car with him. He said he had been removed from the housing register and could not rejoin and could not rent a property privately as he received Universal Credit. Hercule François, Duke of Anjou and Alençon (1555–1584), was the first notable member of the royalty to assume the title without the use of an adjoining proper name. [2] In 1576, Monsieur pressured his brother King Henry III of France into signing the Edict of Beaulieu and effectively ending the Fifth Religious War of France. The resulting peace became popularly known as the Peace of Monsieur. [3] This true story of 1960s and 1970s French racing life through the lens of Patrice Des Moutis - named Monsieur X in court documents - as he took on the PMU, the monopoly betting pool provider who went to war with him, was quite enjoyable.

In June this year, Mr X made a formal complaint to the council. He also asked the Ombudsman to investigate his complaint who exercised discretion to consider Mr X’s complaint even though he had not completed the council’s complaints process.

For over seventy years, from 1701 to 1774, the title had no living representatives in the French court, as Philippe of France, died in 1701; Louis XV was the youngest of the sons of Louis of France, Duke of Burgundy and at the time of his accession to the throne in 1715 had no brothers. [ citation needed] This led the father-of-four to get ill from sleeping in his car for eight months. Documents released by the ombudsman said the authority’s delays to resolve the issue - in which a teenage boy was also forced to sleep rough - caused “serious distress, uncertainty, and difficulties.” The council has since apologised. There is no record of any further action until February this year when the council closed the case. This was done automatically as it had been incomplete for more than three months.

People say that the French move the goalposts and invent rules and laws to suit themselves but not their enemies. But here is an example where jealousy caused them to cut of their nose to spite their own face: cruelly driving one of their own to tragically take his own life.
