Proclamation News and Gatherence

This is horrific, the BBC is a shambles. So we get given rules and regulations of Covid 19, yet BBC can send debt collectors round to old vulnerable peoples houses it current climate of a global pandemic, not to mention the elderly are frail and high risk as we’ve witnessed more death ratio in the elderly statistically. The BBC are still pursuing debt collection.
As this statement clearly signifying that BBC are forcing entry to threat collection of money owed by elderly.

“So let’s clear things up, we are in a high risk, National pandemic lockdown?

” Or we are not”?

The debt collectors need to be fined by police, by going out out of their support bubble, in by the sake of breaking the law,
And by the sake of putting more added stress to vulnerable people, which will pursue an even further distress within their immune system.

Debt threats in such a time of Covid 19, when their hasn’t been zero help, as we are having a public austerity shouldn’t be relevant.

But according to BBC it is..

Proclamtion News and Gtaherence

1. Why would ‘middle class’ people be concerned about the type of housing and the number of pubs in Manchester?Activity 9.9, Your response 1

Parker was describing, the cartographer was heavily influenced by the temperance movement of Victorian Britain and therefore marked out the pubs on his map to highlight their prevalence and to make a point about the impact of drinking. But the fact that this was a ‘middle class’ concern would indicate that the map was also being influenced by social distinctions and what was deemed proper and improper behaviour by one particular social group that had higher levels of social and financial capital.

2. What are some of the problems and benefits of the democratisation of cartography?Activity 9.9, Your response 2

The democratisation of cartography could be one way to address these kinds of imbalances as people from diverse groups – social, religious, gender and ethnic – contribute to the construction of maps, bringing to the table different ways of imagining space. But as the commentator notes, this may also impact on the quality of maps.

Mapping the consumption of alcohol continues to be a way of providing information for planners and policymakers, highlighting how ‘ordinary’ goods and everyday practices can be central to our understanding of power and the interconnections and relationships between different social categories and scales. Using maps, you can explore the ‘everyday’ to highlight inequality within a region or country, as the next activity will examine.

Proclamation News and Gatherence, on Nationalism,

Throughout Block 2 you have been encouraged to think about the idea of home from the perspective of different social science disciplines. You will now approach home from a politics and international relations perspective by considering the ways in which it connects to the concepts of nation, national identity and the state.

Home is a concept with different dimensions: it can relate to a place and/or it can relate to an identity. Where you live or where you come from can be important elements of your identity, both in terms of who you think you are and who other people think you are. This week you will think about the ways in which people feel connected to nations and identify them as ‘home’. For politics and international relations, this is relevant because nations form the basis for the way the world is organised: most people, whether they like it or not, are included (or excluded) as members of a nation. A nation takes on a political dimension when it forms the basis for a unit of political importance (the state), and individuals within a nation gain formal recognition of membership of the state through citizenship.

The concept of inequality is deeply ingrained within any discussion of the politics of a nation; in how nations are formed or subsumed within larger states; in the way that minorities have their political and cultural rights acknowledged or are actively persecuted; and in the granting or denial of citizenship.

One summer just ending just before Autumn, I begin lustfull with creativity destin for the compassion.
Yes a female friend I was reaching for, as summer drew near to a close, then autumn begun, as a sufferer of secondary reynard disease phenomenon, I usually rotioune the constant search for that warmth within my heart. I begin my usual search as a more of a therapeutic sense via my space application . We become involved at young age through compassion and a amicable reciprocated chemistry. I Justin and she Joanna, we begun messaging back an fourth using MySpace to communicate. We both lived in Walton-On-Naze in Essex, England.

Late one Autumn night Sunday we begun a usual text, we came on to the subject of the haunted House just down our lane, the lane was called old Hall Lane, Walton on naze
Our discussion came as we remembered a story of the haunted House of the old farm house were a man was murded, we tryed visualise our text back an fourth to know our self’s if the story was a conspiracy theory or realism.

So the following weekend we decided to meet up, and went to investigate. Both age 15 we left our parents house late one Friday evening for the further investigation.
We came outside the haunted farm house joane with her backpack an me with anorak coat and torch.
I glimpse the torch at the ivy coated white front door and porch.
We knocked with fright on the front door. We both then took 2 steps back expecting a ghostly human to answer.

Not what was expected nobody answered the door. We sat for a moment and thought our mission wasn’t accomplished, so next thought as young teenagers would think devilishly is to find an entrance but with that I pushed the front door.
Misterously it was left open, I an joane began our search, so we crept in. Blowing autumn leaves outside, we could hear the gust if wind an leaves a blowing as we entered the dark hallway, then Joanne clenched onto my arm, a noise in scared ‘creek a door upstairs’. I say let’s look, I have a torch it will be fine joane you are safe with me.
Let’s go upstairs stay by my side ill protect you, I say to Joanne.
So we begin tip toe upwards up the stairs.

Creek again, both our heartbeats racing, but still intregued to find out what’s behind the creeking door.

We are now close by the creeking door, cobweb an spiders all up the stairway, oak dusty floors with low cellings, oak beams holding the celling and roof together. We get to the door Joanne brushing of the cobwebs an dust of her white fur coat.
I grab her closer to me just before we enter the door.
I say to joanne after 3 I open the door, and shine the torch in the room, we are here now we need to find out what that noise is.
OK she says she’s scared the complexion of her skin become ghostly like pale, I open the door creek, creek, creek. Rustly the door is open.

Just as we thought, wondered, a skeleton, old body, was lying in a sprung mattress bed.
It was tied to the bed, it looked like someone has torched this body through neglection on starvation and torment possible torture.

We both screamed for our life, me like her a womanly screach, errrgggghhhhh

We ran down the stairs back down the lane to our homes, holding hands close.
Home to bed but with the worst night with the biggest freight.
Next day we decided to meet up again, then we went to the library to do some netjquette reach via the Internet, we found in 1984 John Beeston was found dead at the farm house tortured at his bedside.

Our findings was of the implications.

Later that day they comdemed the house an closed of the old hall lane.

We become closer and via our story and finding we become both good community standards, an like hero’s in our village ..

Justin and Joanne forever..

Covid: The new lockdown rules for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland

Plans for a new four-week lockdown across England – to try to keep coronavirus under control – have been announced by Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Scotland is moving to a five-tier system of coronavirus restrictions from Monday, while Wales and Northern Ireland are in the middle of temporary lockdowns.

What are the plans for a new lockdown in England?

MPs will vote on the proposals on Wednesday. If approved the measures will be introduced at 00:01 GMT on Thursday 5 November and remain in place until Wednesday 2 December.

• People will be told to stay at home except for education, work (if it can’t be done from home), exercise and recreation, medical reasons, shopping for food and other essentials, or to care for others
• All pubs and restaurants will have to close (takeaways and deliveries can continue)
• All non-essential shops will have to close (supermarkets can sell non-essential goods)
• Households will not be allowed to mix with others indoors, or in private gardens
• Individuals can meet one person from outside their household in an outside public space
• Support bubbles for people who live alone and households made up of single parents and children can continue
• Children will be able to move between homes if their parents are separated
• Schools, colleges and universities will remain open
• Workplaces will be asked to stay open if people cannot work from home – including construction and manufacturing
• Outdoor exercise and recreation will be allowed, but gyms will have to close
• Clinically vulnerable advised not to go to work if they are unable to work from home

After 2 December, different regions will return to the tiers one to three, depending upon the rates of infection.

What are the rules in tier three?

Until Thursday, every area of England is in one of three categories – medium (tier one), high (tier two) or very high (tier three), depending on the local infection rate.

Areas with the most rapidly rising transmission rates are placed in tier three .

• You cannot meet anybody anywhere indoors who is not part of your household or support bubble, nor can you meet them in a private garden or outdoor venue such as a pub garden
• You can meet up in groups of up to six people in parks, beaches, countryside or forests
• Pubs and bars must close unless they are serving substantial meals. Alcohol can only be served as part of a meal
• You are advised not to travel into or out of tier three areas, other than for work, education, youth services or caring responsibilities
• Casinos, bingo halls and betting shops, adult gaming centres and soft play areas must shut

Extra measures can be introduced for individual areas.

• Find out the rules in your area with our postcode checker
• What powers do police have if people break Covid rules?

What are the rules for tier two?

• You cannot meet people socially indoors if you do not live with them – whether in private homes, pubs or restaurants
• People in support bubbles can go on meeting as before, and informal childcare may also be provided
• You can still meet friends and family outdoors, but only in a group of up to six people.

What are the rules for tier one?

Areas in tier one are subject to the basic national rules previously in force.

• You may not meet in a group of more than six people, indoors or outdoors, unless you’re in a larger household or a support bubble.
• Pubs, bars and restaurants must close by 22:00 BST

More than half of Scotland’s 32 local authorities are under level three restrictions, including Edinburgh and Glasgow. All the rest will start off on levels one or two.Schools will stay open in all levels. The decision is based on factors including number of cases per 100,000 people, the ratio of positive test results, projections of new cases and the capacity of local hospitals and intensive care units.

Scotland’s current restrictions include tougher rules imposed on 3.4 million people in the country’s central belt.

Until Monday, all licensed premises – except hotel bars for residents – must close indoors and outdoors, although takeaways are permitted. Cafes can stay open until 18:00 daily, but must not serve alcohol.

What are the current rules in Wales?

Wales is under lockdown until 9 November, during which:

• People should stay at home in most circumstances
• Secondary school pupils above Year 8 have online learning only
• People must not visit other households or meet people they do not live with
• Pubs, restaurants and non-essential shops are closed
• Leisure businesses, community centres, libraries and recycling centres are also shut
• Places of worship are closed for normal services, except for funerals and weddings
• Adults living alone or single parents can join with one other household for support from anywhere in Wales

In addition, supermarkets and food shops remain open, but are not allowed to sell “non-essential goods”.

However, the Welsh government has now clarified which non-food and drink items can be sold.

What are Northern Ireland’s current rules?

Northern Ireland is in the middle of four weeks of restrictions. Schools have closed for a two-week extended half-term break and will reopen on 2 November.

Other measures include:

• Pubs, bars and restaurants must close, except for takeaways and deliveries, which must stop by 23:00 BST
• Support bubbles will be limited to a maximum of 10 people from two households
• You are not allowed to stay overnight in someone else’s home, unless they are part of your bubble
• Close-contact services like hairdressers and beauticians must close, except for essential services
• No indoor or contact sport allowed unless at elite level; gyms stay open for individual exercise only
• No mass events of more than 15 people, apart from certain sporting events
• Wedding ceremonies limited to 25 people, with no receptions
• Funerals limited to 25 people, with no wakes allowed before or afterwards

The theme of inequality can provide useful insights when exploring housing policies because it helps to bring social divisions (e.g. different classes, genders, ethnic backgrounds) to light. This then allows for a more detailed analysis of the role that social policies play in either increasing or reducing social divisions and problems.

Identifying the different social groups who might be affected – either positively or negatively – by a particular housing policy is a good way to start exploring inequality in relation to housing policies. For example, if a government were to decide to sell off all their social (council) housing stock to private owners, which specific social groups do you think would be negatively affected by this and which groups would benefit?

As you know understand, there are a range of social divisions within societies. These might be drawn along the lines of social class, gender, ‘race’/ethnicity, age, or immigration status. In addition, there are a number of other social categories or ‘groups’ that primarily exist because they have been constructed as a result of particular policies. For example, some social groups that have emerged from social policies in Britain might include:

• social housing tenants
• benefits claimants
• ‘troubled’ families
• skilled and unskilled migrants.

Considering the multiple ways that people may be categorised can help us to identify how social policies impact different people in different ways. Moreover, using the theme of inequality to examine different social categories can generate particular social science questions that invite or require you to consider different forms of evidence. For example, in relation to housing policies, you might begin by thinking about the following questions:

• 

• Which groups in society are most disadvantaged by housing shortages?
• Does income inequality affect whether or not people have access to housing?
• Are there some groups of people that may never be able to afford to buy a property?
• Are there groups in society who benefit more than others from particular housing policies?

 explored the relationship between housing and social policy. The focus will now shift to examining housing issues from a criminology perspective.

To some extent, the linkages between criminology and social policy can be illustrated by exploring the ‘criminalisation’ of social policy. As you learnt in Chapter 2, Section 3, the criminalisation of social policy occurs when a range of social problems that might have previously been dealt with through social policies start to be dealt with through the law and the criminal justice system instead. Social policy areas that have begun to be viewed as criminal justice problems include immigration, the overclaiming or misclaiming of benefits entitlements, and homelessness and squatting.

The increasing reliance on criminal justice solutions to social problems is a key area that many criminologists are concerned with. One place that this process can be observed is in official policy documents, particularly those that are published in the lead-up to new legislation or regulatory practices. In general, policy documents tend to:

• set out a particular social issue or problem to be addressed
• propose a solution to that problem (the policy)
• set out the rationale and strategies for implementing the proposed solution.

We are committed to bringing empty homes back into use, as a sustainable way of increasing the overall supply of housing and reducing the negative impact that neglected empty homes can have on communities.

That is why we are:

• awarding the New Homes Bonus to empty homes brought back into use
• providing information and practical advice to local authorities and communities to help them address empty homes
• investing £100 million funding to bring problematic empty homes back into use and announcing £50 million of further funding to tackle some of the worst concentrations of empty homes
• consulting on options to levy an ‘empty homes premium’ on the Council Tax payable
• proposing changes to Empty Dwelling Management Orders to target their use on the very worst long-term empty homes causing a nuisance to the community.

(DCLG, 2011, p. 39)

The final strategy in the list is of particular relevance from a criminological perspective because it relates to the issue of squatting in empty residential properties. This issue is discussed in more detail in the second extract from the paper, below, which sets out the Empty Dwelling Management Orders (EDMOs) and the government’s proposals for tackling squatting in empty residential properties. Read Extract 2 and then answer the questions in Activity 6.6. Don’t worry if you don’t understand some of the language used in the extract – just try to get a general sense of the points it makes.

• Where long-term empty properties have become dangerous or are causing a nuisance to neighbours, the local authority can require owners to carry out repairs. In some circumstances, local authorities can seek to take direct control of the management of the property. The existing legislative framework strikes a balance between protecting the interests of landlords and providing local authorities with the levers they need in order to bring empty homes back into use.
• 19. We are, however, proposing some changes to Empty Dwelling Management Orders (EDMOs), to protect responsible home-owners and ensure that their use is limited to the very worst long-term empty homes – those that have been empty for a significant period of time and are a nuisance to the community.
• 20. The proposed changes mean that in applying for an EDMO, the local housing authority will need to provide to the Residential Property Tribunal all the information they have regarding whether the empty property has been causing a nuisance to the community, and whether there is community support of the proposal for the local housing authority to take control of the empty home. The property will also need to have been empty for over two years (rather than six months) and the local housing authority will need to have given property owners a minimum notice period of three months. The intention is to make the changes by the end of 2011 or early 2012.

Tackling squatting in empty residential properties

• 21. We are concerned about the impact that squatting can have on residential property owners – law-abiding property owners and occupiers should be able to enjoy their property without undue interference from those who have absolutely no right to be there.
• 22. Although there are civil remedies available to property owners and occupiers under Part 55 of the Civil Procedure Rules, it is not currently a criminal offence to squat, unless the squatter refuses to leave a residential property when required to do so by a displaced residential occupier or protected intending occupier. However, we think that it is right that the criminal law should intervene to offer a greater degree of protection. As a first step, the Government has tabled amendments to the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill (currently before Parliament) to criminalise squatting in residential buildings, regardless of whether there is a displaced or intending occupier. This will deal with what we consider to be the greatest distress to victims, that of being unable to use one’s own home, by making it a criminal offence to enter a residential building without intention to leave. It is expected that the Bill will gain Royal Assent in 2012 and the provisions will be implemented following that.
• 23. We recognise that there are legitimate concerns about the effect of criminalising squatting on vulnerable homeless people who squat. We will help to ensure that the police and local authorities work together to ensure that people found squatting are put in touch with relevant support agencies. The Ministerial Working Group on Homelessness will work to ensure that any local enforcement against squatting is carried out in partnership with local homelessness services, to guard against an associated increase in rough sleeping.

1. How is the issue of property owners leaving homes empty addressed by the EDMOs?

(DCLG, 2011, pp. 41–42)The first thing to recognise about the content of the clauses related to EDMOs is that, in general, the use of a social policy response is maintained for the regulation of long-term empty properties. Even though the document states that some empty properties are a ‘nuisance’ to the community (note that the way in which these homes are a ‘nuisance’ is not clarified), the general response to regulating the problem is a social policy one. Instead of being penalised for leaving homes empty, owners can be rewarded for bringing them back into use, with the New Homes Bonus (see Extract 1). Moreover, home-owners can leave properties empty for two years instead of six months (clause 20 in Extract 2), which suggests a lack of urgency in relation to the problem of empty housing.

2. How is the issue of squatting framed in Extract 2?

Squatting is presented as a problem that needs to be dealt with (this is implied in the title of this section of the policy document, which uses the word ‘tackling’). But, more specifically, this section of the document clearly identifies the squatters themselves as the source of the problem.

3. How does the document set out a criminal justice response to the problem of squatting, as opposed to a social policy response?Activity 6.6, Your response 3

The problem of empty properties during a period of significant housing shortages is relatively unchallenged by the housing strategy proposed in this policy paper. Instead of considering this as a possible reason for people squatting, the squatters are identified as the core social problem that needs to be managed because they are creating ‘victims’ out of the property owners. For this reason, the paper makes a case for a criminal justice response to deal with the issue of squatting, rather than continuing to treat it as a civil matter.

Here, the theme of inequality, once again, becomes a useful lens through which to consider the issue. It is worth noting, for example, that the people who have the least wealth and status in the ‘owners of empty homes versus squatters’ debate are likely to be those who are squatting because they lack the power and influence to challenge any legislation that will be brought against them in criminal proceedings. This example raises a set of questions that are routinely raised by criminologists: ‘What role does power play in the making of criminal laws?’ and ‘Who benefits from such laws?’ Thinking critically about the role that power plays in the setting out of criminal law is an important component of ways of framing social issues from a criminological perspective.
