It won’t help

n obvious thing to say, but I’ll say it anyway.

If you have something to say, then say it. You can double-check, sure, but don’t threaten people. Don’t issue either public or private threats. Don’t blackmail people.

If you make your words conditional upon some action, then that action could be seen as a threat.

I’ve received lots of threats in the past few years. My wife received many threats too.

I did not make any threats.

Hypocritical people don’t get very far in life. People call them out (on their “BS”).

Shadowy ‘industry’

few minutes ago I mentioned how we have de facto mercenaries in London. They made an “industry” out of blackmail and bullying. They even serve foreigners. We’re fast approaching part 50 of that series:

They tell people to hoard food and water

ypically it would be called “paranoid”, but not when it’s merely following government advice.

Some months ago I was told this is meant to lessen the panic in case of wars and other major events.

After the panic (or by postponing the panic), and after people run out of food (and/or water), they’re already too tired and dehydrated to be engaging in some kind of uprising.

So it’s about security for the government, not directly for the population.

Let’s evaluate

oday is the day. The weather is fairly mild and I plan to go investigate why Manchester City Council is unable to provide the services taxpayers are paying for.

In this case, voting is not the solution. The Council is an organ not tied to any political party.

If necessary, I’ll raise the issue further up the chain.

Take it easy

arlin, the famous one (George), died a long time ago, but to this very day I still enjoy some Carlin skits.

One that really stayed with me concerns the world or society or his country as a “freak show”.

Instead of getting upset about things or becoming too emotionally attached to them he watches blunders, takes notes, then makes jokes or stories about them.

I quite like this.

When bad things happen… write about it. Turn that into a story.

Manchester City Council will have many stories about it soon.

Today

he windy/gusty day (and the storm that brought it) seems to have mostly passed. The winds have come almost to a halt. Tomorrow should be the same, so it’ll be a very long bicycle trip for me. I realise there are some routes I’ve not explored for more than half a decade and I could really use some outdoor exercise.

Before too long, trees will be without leaves and it’ll be too cold outside. Tomorrow it will be 16 degrees outside. Not cold, not damp.

November is very near. A week into November we have an anniversary to celebrate and before too long it’ll be Christmastime preparations, including all the decorations and festive music throughout the day.

I look forward to spring. The clock will change again, but it ought not.

Lateness is possible but costly

Start of this month: Brett Wilson LLP Has Had No Annual Report in 16 Months

hose of us who never registered or ran a company in the UK do not know the process of reporting. I have a friend who had a company and he complained about the fees involved. He also needed to issue reports.

The year is ending in 2 months and the above law firm has issued no report for any period after March 2025.

There are “late filing penalties”. Quoting the official publication:

This guidance applies to UK registered: [...] limited liability partnerships (LLPs)

[...]

Private companies and LLPs

If your first accounts cover a period of more than 12 months, you must deliver them to Companies House within 21 months of the date of incorporation, or 3 months from the accounting reference date – whichever is longer.

[...]

In subsequent years, a private company or LLP has 9 months from the end of the accounting reference period to deliver its accounts. A public company has 6 months.

[...]

If you’re a director of the company, or designated member of the LLP – you’re personally responsible for delivering your accounts before the time allowed runs out. Delivery means actual receipt at Companies House in the correct format.

A penalty is automatically imposed if the accounts are late.
