StarUKKiwi Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 I think it was implied that items were damaged by person or persons unknown but that circumstantial evidence could place marina staff in the viciniy. However, it was also confirmed that staff admitted that they had rendered a boat inoperable due to outstanding debt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantasm Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) Security cameras are just one of the things promised that never materialised, like the security gates to the pontoons that ended up being a plastic chain link because the money ear-marked for them had to be "used elsewhere".

That reminds me..I think someone said that CSH had the commission in redesigning the decor..Perhaps that's why he got so bitchy with Ally and others recently(?) It's more for the sake of PL needing security as has been known on more than one occasion he does seem to rub people up the wrong way..I think there is a camera in the office or/and back passage also..Whilst we were being accused of knobbling the electric meters ,some one close to management was stealing cards and was caught on cctv..Or so we were told via the cafe/office gossip dept! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA - In the unlikely event you actually mean what you said... Hate speech is a real problem, and of the biggest problems is that hate speech often leads to hate action. If you want to see real hate speech, google any racial or other pejorative you can think of and you'll find plenty of real hate speech. Absolutely nothing that has been said here even remotely resembles hate speech. To try to somehow relate what has been written here to hate speech serves no purpose but to trivialize a real problem. If you really believe what you said, you need to get out more. Edited April 12, 2014 by Paul G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I am not a huge fan of Wikipedia, this article seems to sum things up quite succinctly and I leave it you to work out why… Click here to find out in Wikipedia You must have found some interest or entertainment in this thread if you have taken the time and trouble to watch it since January. I fail to see how your link to the article in Wikipedia has any reference to this thread at all. It is not an attempt to incite hatred against a protect group or individual, it has nothing to do with race, religion, ethnic minorities, disability or sexual orientation. It has to do with an outrageous and immoral action by a small number of diverse individuals. "Hate speech is, outside the law, speech that attacks a person or group on the basis of e.g. race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation.[1][2] In law, hate speech is any speech, gesture or conduct, writing, or display which is forbidden because it may incite violence or prejudicial action against or by a protected individual or group, or because it disparages or intimidates a protected individual or group. The law may identify a protected individual or a protected group by certain characteristics.[3][4][5][6] In some countries, a victim of hate speech may seek redress under civil law, criminal law, or both. A website that uses hate speech is called a hate site. Most of these sites contain Internet forums and news briefs that emphasize a particular viewpoint. There has been debate over how freedom of speech applies to the Internet. Critics have argued that the term "hate speech" is a contemporary example of Newspeak, used to silence critics of social policies that have been poorly implemented in a rush to appear politically correct.[7][8][9]" Main article: Hate speech laws in the United Kingdom In the United Kingdom, several statutes criminalize hate speech against several categories of persons. The statutes forbid communication which is hateful, threatening, abusive, or insulting and which targets a person on account of skin colour, race, disability, nationality (including citizenship), ethnic or national origin, religion, or sexual orientation. The penalties for hate speech include fines, imprisonment, or both.[3][62][63][64][65][66][67] Legislation against Sectarian hate in Scotland, which is aimed principally at football matches, does not criminalise jokes about peoples’ beliefs, nor outlaw “harsh” comment about their religious faith.[68] Edited April 12, 2014 by Phantasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here - I'll help you : In the United Kingdom, several statutes criminalize hate speech against several categories of persons. The statutes forbid communication which is hateful, threatening, abusive, or insulting and which targets a person on account of skin colour, race, disability, nationality (including citizenship), ethnic or national origin, religion, or sexual orientation There have been examples of 'animosity' against certain individuals involved in the 'situation' - however none of them are for reasons of skin colour, race, disability, nationality (including citizenship), ethnic or national origin, religion, or sexual orientation so could no be (under your own criteria) be "Hate Speech" I note that "hate speech" by reason of incompetance is not listed. Some strong words have been used but as the evidence has come out they appear to be more than justified - and in all probability some of the actions at Pillings Lock should have lead to criminal prosecution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been nothing relating to hate speech anywhere. Though some individuals involved in the reneging on the NAA have apparently done enough to engender a lot of anger and dislike, if not positive hatred. But as for comments about gender, orientation, skin colour, etc etc - there is none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter X Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Obviously... they were planning on using the furniture in part settlement for next years bills! Nooooo! Not the comfy chair! Everything CRT have said recently indicates that they have no intention of allowing PLT or any other marina owner to do a QMP in future, but it would be reassuring I think if a CRT announcement could spell out this new policy explicitly. Something along the lines of "NAA fees must be paid quarterly a week before that quarter begins, and if not paid on time there will be a warning followed by the marina entrance being blocked when the paid-for period has expired".
