Press Release
09/01/2019 at 07:38 • 4 commentsI've written a Press Statement, which I will be sending to our national papers tomorrow.
Coincidentally, I'm also due in Magistrates Court over non-payment of my Council Tax. Seeing as I have no legal representation, and the Council owe me 100 times that debt, I simply refused to pay until I was given a hearing where a magistrate will enforce it.
I'm not bothered, I'll pay the Clerk of the Court the money I owe, and the court fees, before I go into the hearing where I will present the magistrate with my Press Statement.
That should give me Jurisprudence I can use to push my case further legally as well as publicly.
I’m the hacker known as Morning.Star
And I’m exposing corruption in our social care systems and my local authority that runs all the way to the top. My story begins 19 years ago with my then partner, and my kids’ mother, attempting to kill me on 3 separate occasions during Bipolar episodes, which she suffered increasing regularly over our years together. She was never prosecuted as a result, and in fact was given counselling and therapy and allowed to stalk me and the kids for years while we hid in fear. Finally after 6 years of that and because Bea is profoundly disabled, Social Services intervened and gave me Respite, a service that they denied even existed, as they deliberately neglected me hoping I’d fail. I didnt of course, and managed another 8 years exemplary care during which time I built my first robots, learned to paint and play numerous instruments, and researched mathematics and physics. When I’d all but completed AIME, a humanoid biped, and AIMOS, its operating system
West Sussex County Council
Spent 5 years attempting to institutionalise my daughter repeatedly using its social care arm to execute a planned intervention aimed at separating a vulnerable person from her advocate and carer because
Arun District Council
Made a mistake 20 years ago with her carer benefits leading to a £14,000 rent overpayment that they do not wish to reimburse. That's because they then sent in Social Services five years ago with an unsuccessful smear campaign - Accusations of drugs, alcohol, physical, mental and sexual abuse, criminal mental instability, neglect and fraud from a blind social worker from
Social Services Adult Disability Team
Complete with guide dog and handler, who came to my home and told me that despite having zero ability to communicate with Bea, she'd established that she wanted to be institutionalised, overruling me as her advocate and cutting me off from all the resources needed to care for her. She was dragged kicking and screaming with all her belongings to a series of
Care Homes
Where she was neglected to the point where all her clothes were lost/stolen and replaced with a jumble-sale. Including by now 6 x £25 of bra's carefully chosen to fit and support her, without underwires. That resulted in her being given an underwired one several sizes too small that cut her, and then broke so the underwire pierced her breast and caused an infection severe enough to warrant medical attention. This episode was covered up by Social Services and I only found out because
The NHS
Called on me at our home to treat her, when she was in fact being held illegally in care - hence the medical services being called to where she was officially resident. I cant really find fault with the NHS / Mental Healh services, they have been supportive even though they cannot do a thing.
They cannot treat me - there is nothing wrong with me - and they cannot counsel me for the trauma caused by all this until it is over; I have presented myself to a psychiatrist on numerous occasions, and each time been thrown unceremoniously back out of their offices because I'm genuinely a multiple genius with a historic IQ and have skills rivalling that even of DaVinci himself.
Accomplished artist and designer, singer-songwriter and multi-instrument musician, author and poet, programmer and mathematician, amateur roboticist, philosopher, and carer. These are the things that define me, but I’m capable of so much more.
My last instruction from a doctor [the only authority I actually respect enough to defer to] was to get my daughter out of care and take over the world with my robots. Which I did, thanks to
Hackaday
Who literally saved my life having become suicidal during the first three years of my enslavement at the hands of the State. Instead, supported by the combined intelligence and honour of some of the smartest people on our planet, rewarded for my efforts with prestigious awards and accolades, copied by some of our most powerful technologists, and handed a reputation for excellence that backs up a 20-year exemplary care history marred only by a corruptive authority. Who after all that could only be relied on to change the law so they could not be punished for their sins, and then finally completely revoke their remit to provide dispensation under those laws, blatantly trampling both human and disabiities rights in the process. Finally the Council rescinded our right to accommodation and transferred us to a
Private Housing Agency
Who promptly installed us both in a brand-new built estate isolated in the countryside with no access - the road is unpaved and filled with dangerous traffic including building works as it is still being built around us. Mud, noisy and dangerous vehicles, irate homeowners unhappy with paying a third of a million for a house that borders a social housing estate, with no playpark. Its not a place for children, let alone disabled people.
Within weeks I was threatened with eviction by the agency for non-payment of rent after Arun District Council again denied owing me money and instead tried to force me to continue paying the shortfall in rent that led to them owing me so much in the first place. Social Services then intervened and admitted that they had been engaged by the local councils to cover up this illegal mess by getting rid of me and taking Bea into care. However, as they had failed and now were working to cover this up, they stepped in and prevented the eviction, confirming to the agent that an eviction would precipitate vastly damaging legal action against the whole of Local Authority.
Leading to today, where I have a report from the Police that the 'Gentleman' who has been covertly filming and photographing me and my neighbours had been engaged by none other than the housing agency presumably under the instruction of Social Services, to gather enough evidence of 'antisocial behaviour' in order to kick me and my neighbours out now they have sided with me over the quality of our housing provision. [Quality it is not...]
Unfortunately for them, anti-stalking legislation is now in force thanks to our government's ridiculous policies and archaic laws that dont keep up with the times. With the advent of Farcebook, of Drones, etc, we now have laws that prevent individuals from taking footage of each other and posting it on Social Media without their express permission, punishable by heavy fines.
To whit, its now illegal to spy on someone as the housing agency have done, so after the manager and her lackey were then caught snooping around late at night and called on my neighbour with the excuse they were patrolling – which frightened her so much she called me – I then called local Law Enforcement to verify that spying on us was in fact illegal, which it is of course. so
The Police
Investigated the housing agency and social services, and are supporting me to regain my right to work and earn a living, reacquire the capital stolen by the District Council and continue to ensure Bea's wellbeing as I have always done without being enslaved to do so in poverty. They do this after apologising profusely to me for disturbing my work and peace, having established that I am not the threat my government seems to think I am. 4 visits it took for them to do that, looking for bomb parts, weapons, evidence of radicalisation, and questioning me on everything including my personal beliefs.
They found nothing but a box of oversized condoms, and left after recording my details as a highly dangerous care manager with some humour, noting my work with robotics and AI as ‘historic’, but they cannot intervene in a civil dispute even though it has become somewhat uncivil.
I AM still a threat of course. The legal ramifications of what Local Authority has been caught red-handed doing this time, publicly, and to a historic individual as well, are extensive. Leading to hundreds of thousands of pounds compensation for rights abuses causing loss and trauma, for slander and libel, for fraud, for discrimination, and for systemic and complicit corruption. Finally
Deprivation of Liberty Safeguarding Team
Are now preparing to give me access to a courtroom where I can speak for my daughter, however despite having lapsed Parental Responsibility and Custody, Formal Advocacy, Duty of Care, and Responsibility of Care for Bea I still need to pay a fee of £360 to deputise myself so I can speak on her behalf and tell our story.
Which is just the end of
my story of course. As I said, I’m Morning.Starhttps://www.hackaday.io/jez.boxall and I’ve lived an incredible life https://hackaday.io/page/5409-a-life-in-the-day-of-morningstar, for which I have world records https://hackaday.io/project/161111-smallest-4x4x4-led-cube-yet, awards and accolades, and even things named after me https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-dotstar-leds/overview - and been attacked, abused, marginalised, and enslaved on minimal carer benefits illegally doing care work that demeans and traumatises me. I’m unable to earn the money to sue, or indeed work my way out, I’m denied Legal Aid, denied assistance and support in my caring role, and despite Local Government Ombudsman investigating this I’m still denied. LGO recognise that my and my daughter’s rights have been trampled, but can only intervene to recommend a resolution and have been completely ignored right up to the CEO of West Sussex County Council, who simply swept us into his bin twice because he’s accused of fraud himself. The list of aggressors is lengthy.
Laura Potter, the blind social worker engaged by the County Council to coersively institutionalise Bea by cutting off her resources and unjustly accusing her carer (me) of a list of abuses with no evidence.
Sue Coldham, ex Social Services manager, authorised this action and then when it failed attempted to cover it up from her promoted position of Ops Manager for Learning Disability, West Sussex. Her signature on the funding from Bluebird Care, a national agency, caused them to withdraw the contract I had negotiated because they are prioritising private care due to lack of staff following the Brexit fallout, and will not take work from the State.
Nathan Elvery, CEO of West Sussex County Council and Sue Coldham’s boss, twice ignored Local Government Ombudsman instructions and interfered with their investigations leading to him being exposed as having defrauded WSCC out of a Housing Relocation Grant that he didnt use to relocate to Sussex, keeping his posh house in Epsom and the money.
Andrew Theodoridi, the replacement social worker who for the last few years has interfered with GP and Mental Health, benefits, funding and resources, and even interfered with job interviews to keep me on carer benefits, while he denies Bea Personal Care to force me to do the care work myself.
Paul Rogers, his manager, who after investigation removed Andrew Theodoridi from Bea’s case and then re-instated him to resolve [AKA cover up] the mess he made trampling our rights.
Leanne Moore and Richard Vandermark, the housing agents from Worthing Homes, who are threatening us with eviction, spying on us, and perpetuating Arun District Council’s fraud and Social Services rights abuses.
Nintendo, who took my work on https://hackaday.io/project/19920-cardware and are selling it globally as LABO despite Creative Commons Attribution, and I dont see a penny. Thats for two reasons, one being Income Support that allows me to earn exactly £20 per week from my skills, and the other being that Nintendo arent prepared to recognise the originators of their ripoffs, in this case selling an empty flatpacked cardboard box for 60 or 70 quid a pop. That was an education.
The entire document chain
is published in a redacted form with public commentary in https://hackaday.io/project/29260-obsidian covering the last two and a half years of my campaign to rid myself of the harassment that’s largely prevented me from doing much, much more.

Bang To Rights
08/20/2019 at 22:43 • 3 commentsHard written evidence is hard to come by, but every now and then...
Unfortunately for Social Services, this document can only be commissioned by them, and attempts to subvert my authority as advocate so that the State could continue to hold Bea in care on an open-ended arrangement under advice of a doctor and an 'independent' advocate.
Of course its unclear to the assessor why Bea is prescribed a contraceptive. It was done without my authorisation last time she was in care, and was done to prevent her becoming pregnant in the event of her having sexual contact with the male residents as well as to control PMT.
She does not have the capacity for a relationship of that nature and should instead be supervised to prevent any unsolicited attempts by others to instigate one.
It also conveniently controls the worst of the trauma her personal care causes me without having a personal carer - as an alternative to one, FFS, and its an abuse of rights to medicate someone to control their behaviour without a court order
Or to put it another way, this shit was rushed through like lightning without my knowledge, let alone any authorisation.
Like I said, on whose authorisation exactly is she deprived of her liberty?
Its there in black and white.
The first highlight is delicious.
Bea has been assessed as having no capacity to make decisions or to communicate them, which is complete hogwash for starters. She knows what she wants and has been telling them, and me, for years. That IS why I was made her advocate in the first place.
Unfortunately for DoLs, they now have to process MY request as her advocate that she has her case heard in court. She'll be present, but I'll speak for her. And for myself, as the representative the assessor deemed ineligible to speak for her. (The second highlight)
I luckily phoned the care home while the assessor was there and managed to stop this dead in its tracks by speaking to her and informing her of the illegality of her actions.
And just to rub salt in their wounds, both the DoLs team and the advocacy service now work for me against Social Services. Think about whats been done to me for the last 5 years.
Deprivation of Liberty and marginalisation - In particular the advocacy service will be interested in giving me, well, advocacy, and on a legal basis. They have no choice as their remit is to ensure that all parties are heard in any dispute. And DoLs will probably fold under the pressure too, and they are a government agency. All they have to do is refuse me access to their services and I have them bang to rights as well.
Note that the form is unsigned - it has been sent to me as the Care Manager instead of me as the Advocate, because Social Services lied to DoLs about my existence and their need for involvement.
I can sign it myself and return it to the supervisory body and request that a hearing be scheduled using it, as her care manager and official advocate, and be given legal assistance to attend it.

Supercritical Mass
08/15/2019 at 06:11 • 3 commentsCritical Mass.
In a nuclear reaction, the amount, and state of, the fissile material, is referred to as Critical.
When there isnt enough material density - including such factors as temperature and pressure - the reaction cannot sustain itself and is Subcritical. With enough density, it self-sustains and 'burns', the kind of Critical reaction we typically see in a Nuclear Pile.
Thats an interesting term, as the very first artificial reaction was performed using a literal pile of fissile material. And there are in fact four known burned-out natural piles in the Earth's crust, where significant amounts of radioactive material went critical at some point in its creation.
A Supercritical Mass however is more like an explosion - the type of reaction that not only self-sustains but runs away with itself, ungoverned. We've done that too. Stupid buggers, and we're still paying for it.
These terms are also used in other reactive systems to describe hysteresis.
Hysterical.
When Social Services fail to provide, and this is looking likely now, they will just surrender. They already have, but not formally.
I do feel pity for my former enemies, but the kind of pity one feels for something that needs to be put out of its misery. Quickly, kindly, and without fuss. I dont however feel anything at all for the rest of Local Authority, and there is a Perfect Storm piling up on their doorstep held back by Hench, poor bastard.
I havent even heard from Igor, and I expected him to mull that for a few days. There is always tomorrow, however, as his Modus Operandi is to leave it til the last minute, make a desperate phonecall on Friday afternoon and then get the fuck out of Dodge for the weekend.
Meanwhile...
The Housing agent distanced himself pretty thoroughly, and so my neighbour and I filed complaints with the Police about the latest almost-unbelievable turn of events. A stalker, and he's not even chasing me around. He's just some old weirdo who doesnt like women drinking coffee on their doorsteps in their dressing gowns, or children playing. In fact he seems to not like us Social Housing bums, and if he finds out what I'm into he'll probably have a coronary.
He hasnt been keeping up with the digital revolution, thats for sure. Millennium Act, Digital Rights, and now the new anti-stalking legislation mean you cant just wave your new-fangled toy around like a child...
The Police can deal with him, if Social Services wont. I'm not going to be responsible for putting him in hospital unless he happens to read about himself in the papers...

Free Hearing Test
08/08/2019 at 22:20 • 7 commentsYep. Arun District Council.
The same jokers who owe me £14000 and are still refusing to listen to their own regulations.
Their latest ruse of not turning up to the steering meeting to discuss why they are not paying full Housing Benefit revealed their stupidity. Instead they called the agent off the record and informed them that Bea isnt getting High Rate Care component of her Disability benefits. Well, she was, so by that they just admitted to owing me £10,000 for 14 of the 19 years I overpaid, if she isnt entitled to the last 5 with the change in benefits.
Thats because Social Services attempted to institutionalise her, taking control of her benefits [or trying to unsuccessfully] and screwed them up. And now they have to re-instate them and inform the Council of their error so they can backdate the housing benefit and pay the agent before he evicts us. Igor was at pains to prevent the agent from doing that...
Well, when the agent actually threatened that in front of Igor, he responded by admitting to them being engaged unofficially by Arun District Council to separate Bea and I, take control of her affairs and push me onto the streets in debt - for which they have apologised profusely and are doing everything they can to resolve the situation without the attention of the law.
Badly, I might add.
So, I contracted a carer myself, a national agency by the name of Bluebird, who did all the preliminary and set up - I even met two of the carers. It was to be funded through the independent agency like before, as the care was more expensive than Social Services would fund. However, they are so desperate to retain what little control they have, they pushed it up to the ops Manager for the county to sign off on, and she did.
Unfortunately, this somewhat unofficial act got the attention of the agency's head office, who re-issued their edict of not working with Social Services, and pulled out. Since then every agency I contact mysteriously pulls out as Social Services slanders me to them. I've caught them out already on this by getting to the carers before they do, but as they control the application process there's little I can do.
This is of course all illegal, but I'm also denied Legal Aid to get this to court, so we are at impasse.
Not for long, as the District Council have given me free access to our legal system, and all I had to do is not pay them. Hah... Try that on for size... Council Tax has to be paid, and I'll pay it off in instalments when the magistrate tells me to. And he will.
But before he does he has to sit and listen to my story.
And being a Officer of the Law he is duty bound to investigate all breaches of it.
So, effectively all its cost me is just under £100 in court fees and I'm guaranteed a hearing in weeks, instead of fronting thousands in the hope of ever getting my case heard. Could have been years.
I'd have to have paid the £130 in Tax anyway so I havent lost that, it was already gone. Its just court fees to pay and my credit rating will be affected. Like I care, borrowing money for anything is pretty dumb right.
Several Trillion National Debt, anyone? Pfffft...

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words
07/23/2019 at 22:18 • 2 commentsBut I dont have the patience to paint one right now. This will have to do... XD
I'm sorry Igor, you WERE warned.
The agent drew first. Rookie...
As it stands they have given me a week to change my mind about paying the shortfall. I gave Igor that week to sort out the fuckup his boss made of Bea's benefits, which he admitted have been stuffed up royally - the council having found a loophole whereby Bea has not been on the high rate Disability Living Allowance that she was awarded when she was diagnosed decades ago, for the last five years.
That doesnt affect the preceding 14 years though, that she was on high rate, and I was entitled to full housing benefit.
So, all the state has to do is restore her benefits and backdate it five years and they are legal with the agent and their own housing section, but I still have to fight for my moolah. Dirtbags, its not like I expected any less.
Igor has retired on holiday for a week to nurse several painful areas I was forced to demonstrate my resolve on, which caused the agents to rethink their position. They seemed convinced they were there with Igor to get their money from me, that cost him some skin. He seemed convinced he was there to take control of Bea's care provision. That cost him some more. And then when they both seemed convinced I was happy about remaining under these conditions unpaid and without holiday and pension rights because they had all stuffed up, well, he was nearest and can hardly blame the agent for believing the council's lies. I got him twice for that, and glared at the agent...
AIMOS was merely a spectator of course, none of those dopey buggers have any clue of the implications of what they are playing games with. Obviously the police psychiatrists report hasnt reached Igor's desk yet, and I am assuming he can read. He still isnt a subscriber of Obsidian, however, so sometimes I wonder.
On the bright side
The carer was awesome, and being a national care agency can be relied upon to continue being awesome. They however are a private agency and charge for their services, rather more than Igor was prepared to pay. So I contracted them anyway and handed Igor the bill, which he will cover by setting up Direct Payment again.
It isnt like he has a choice, the carer calmly informed me the real reason Igor had not contacted them for provision is because they wouldnt deal with social services because of their performance and reputation, however on this occasion seeing as it was me...
Thank you Bluebird Care, I got Igor again one last time just for that. I hope it scars...
