Stalking victim dismayed by the "useless" SRA response to reports: lawgazette.co.uk/news/stalki… It would appear that the @sra_solicitors would struggle to arrange the proverbial knees up in a brewery.
Reece Mennie, who is being sued by the City regulator over his Hunter Jones scheme, was seen celebrating in Dubai days before freezing investors' funds.
Fingers crossed for the @AllicaBank GREAT BRITISH ENTREPRENEUR AWARDS on Monday!

In 2014, a woman accused Russell Brand of assault. A court then banned her from ever talking about it, even to the police. She had no lawyer; there was no proper trial.
It's hard to believe so here, for the first time, is a copy of the injunction: taxpolicy.org.uk/2026/11/07/…

On Thursday I wrote about the 2014 injunction Russell Brand obtained against a woman who accused him of assault.
I've now obtained the final order. It's breathtaking.
She had no lawyer. No trial. Yet she was silenced for life - even barred from speaking to the police.

Now Russell Brand's been convicted of rape, we need to talk about Sylvie Berki. Because she can't speak for herself.
In 2014, Ms Berki said she'd been assaulted by Russell Brand.
But if she talks about it, even now, she risks jail.

Rather than having ‘f***ed it’, the journalism of the Times & Sunday Times’ Ros Urwin and Charlotte Wace, and the bravery of women to share their stories, instead exposed an issue which led to justice for victims who’d had to sit with their stories for years.

Interesting to note that a director of this company also has a second hand car dealership in Essex and is qualified mortgage advisor.

Solaris Biolabs Ltd has changed its name to Biolabs Corp Ltd. It has also changed its registered address many times.
Solaris Biolabs claims to be a partner/associate of East Suffolk Council, is this correct @EastSuffolk?
It’s all a bit odd because its 3 ‘sales and distribution’ units in Lowestoft are all vacant and empty today.

Dubai seems to be the go-to bolt hole for con-artists, crooks, fraudsters, shysters and tax debtors. It’s a dustbin for fugitive trash.

Another published ‘partnership’ with @EastSuffolk Council, this time with a company that has featured regularly in the press recently and is being sued by the FCA.

NATWEST: BANKER TO A SECOND ALLEGED SCAM
@thetimes says NatWest handled tens of millions for an accountant @TheFCA alleges played a key role in a scam.
The bank is already under scrutiny over 79th Group, which collapsed owing investors £200m+.
Who was watching the accounts?
NatWest is banker to a 2nd alleged “mini bond” scam, says The Times.
Already spotlighted for its relationship with 79th Group, which collapsed last year, the bank is also exposed to Hunter Jones, a group the FCA says operates a Ponzi scheme.
