This is a post on Covscene from Annie today and unfortunately I have been forced into a position where I cannot ignore it.
Would somebody do me the favour of copying this to the relevant thread on Covscene please?
And I would like to make it clear that after this post I will NOT be prepared to discuss this matter any further on King Hermit's forum - if anyone would like to PM me that's your choice.
"All this came up over an e-mall to DWP. Great fun exept you can't actaully e-mail them. I rang them today (with witnesses) and mentioned no names, except my own. This was on the advice of a friend. Thank you.
Yes, they have a web form. Please see https://secure.dwp.gov.uk/benefitfraud/
You can put in any bloody name you like. (Great fun for anyone with a vendetta, and I can think of only one.)
Any DWP worker would be fired instantly for giving over sources of information, family member or not.
I've worked my tits off (both of them) for Cov music. I've put time, effort and money into this, just to have it bite me in the arse.
I DID NOT grass on Martin. Whoever did was quite brilliant to use my name when doing so. They (DWP) don't even log IP addresses. If they did I could have found the real culpret. If they were a user here anyway.
Anyway, I'm done with here. The fucking thankless task that it is.
My last post.
Covscene will close on Nov 4 when I'm expected to pay for renewal. Bye.
P.S. Thank you to my lovely friends and my wonderful fella, who have helped me through the shit that was today, and cheered me up along the way. Anyone who has been falsley accused of something like this will know where I'm coming from. My colleagues are sterling folk. Love you all."
Annie, (and I know you read this board)
You've made a clear reference to me here, with the suggestion that I am the one who's done this to Martin in order to pursue a vendetta against you.
I have not pursued ANY vendetta against you, it is YOU who have been pursuing a vendetta against ME (AND my friends) for the last 2 and a half years.
Don't overplay your 'contribution' to the scene - you've run a website. There are those of us who have put in a lot more time, effort AND money to help this scene over a lot more years and who haven't factionalised it. And largely due to you, it has bitten US on the arse.
I am not going to let you turn this whole thing around and point it at me! This is your shit not mine, so if you're thinking of sneaking around behind the scenes again, pointing the finger at me, think again! People are starting to get wise to what you're capable of - what we've known for a long time and been vilified for.
I don't know whether you're guilty of grassing up Martin. All I know is that you're more than capable of it. You have told more lies than you can shake a stick at and now maybe your chickens are coming home to roost.
You have targeted me, my family, my friends, my charity work and more recently my business and it stops here NOW. I have more important things than you to think about.
"Anyone who has been falsley accused of something like this will know where I'm coming from." - yes I do Annie remember.
I hope you stick to your word and allow the musicians of the city to return to a time when people actually helped each other and got along.
This is my first and final comment on this subject so leave me out of it from here on.
