Rekha Patel loses her house

[Pox]

If Derbyshire's finest do make a move, they will wait until they can smell the sausages, I think.
Hope they don't bring any dogs with them though, they could be distracted.

[ArthurWankspittle]

I have to admit I do find all of this a little unbelievable, losing a house over such a small thing you could not make it up.
It would be ironic though if she did do a Tom and got on the roof and slipped with no thack stones to hold on to. I could even see Alanis adding a new lyric to her song if that happened.

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's grabbing a thackstone
That would have saved your life
And isn't it ironic, don't you think
A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think

Rekha Patel may be the biggest sociopath ever discussed on Quatloos. And that's really saying something. She has absolutely zero regard for anyone other than herself, starting with her inability to understand the concept of a shared wall. She has no respect for the property itself, as evidenced by everything from the initial shoddy thakstone work to spraypainting "I belong to Miss Patel" to having a security door installed after the new owner moved in.

Arrests and court rulings haven't deterred her in the slightest. She has no real sovcit beliefs, rather latching onto any theory that'll give her what she wants. Anyone who disagrees with her is a racist. Anyone who agrees with her is expected to drop what they're doing and go to Glossop to help her squat. She doesn't have a shred of interest in anyone else, even people who've helped her. She's a thoroughly awful human being that no one should have to put up with.

I slightly disagree, it started with I don't care about listed building status and her not appreciating or not accepting, that she couldn't do anything she liked to "her" property.

That would at least have been an actual example of irony, unlike the rest of the lyrics.

I have vague recollections of hearing an interview with Alanis Morisette where she defended 'Ironic' against claims that its lyrics concerned bad luck rather than irony by saying the song was itself ironic... How ironic.

Or I might've dreamt it.

Rekha Patel may be the biggest sociopath ever discussed on Quatloos..... She's a thoroughly awful human being that no one should have to put up with.

Even within the gentle backwaters of the UK section, Wrecka is nowhere near the worst. Tom Crawford was a nasty bully, Neelu caused havoc in Hampstead, Krabby is a ruthless thug, Chrissy Morris sets off every alarm bell, the toxic Mark "Ceylon", etc. If there was only one padded cell left, Wrecka would be way down the list.

And yet, I share your spluttering rage. So, why are we so bothered by Wrecka's behaviour? (Apart from because we're massive racists, obviously....)

For me, I think it's because I see wasted potential. Most of the others mentioned above are losers, they've squandered their lives and they're long past any good options. Wrecka is young, bright and attractive. She had a rewarding career and a beautiful home, a supportive family. Through sheer stubborn stupidity, she has escalated a trivial issue into disaster, like a gambler doubling his stake at every loss. She had other options, but she chose to burn it all down.

There's this:

For me the great debate on whether what I was saying in 'Ironic' was ironic wasn't a traumatic debate. I'd always embraced the fact that every once in a while I'd be the malapropism queen. And when Glen and I were writing it, we definitely were not doggedly making sure that everything was technically ironic.

You're right it is tragic. Wrehka had a career, a nice home, and what appears to have been a decent enough life until she gave in to the petulant spoiled teenager/two year old??? Then she gave in to the spoiled brat and ruined it all. The same can be said for Neelu, she had what by all appearances was a good career, a nice family, and a good life. She had what was probably a psychotic break over the altogether unfortunate and tragic death of her niece, her problem was her absolute refusal to accept the reality of her niece's death and move on with her life. They both however are and have been harmful and destructive to those around them. It is admittedly a matter of degree and there is no question that Neelu is not far and away the worser of the two, but Wrekha is and has been just as destructive and damaging to her former neighbor. So as far as I can see, neither gets a pass.

[D-C]

I was no different when I was in full-time work, so it's not a criticism it is merely an observation.

land registry are either grossly negligent, been given false information or has an insider...well the insider I believe in my case is a man called xxxxxx who worked for the solicitor firm Xxxxx.

I just want everyone to know I spent years making this place my home, the system doesn't protect people like us, it just protects the one with most cash, money certainly does talk in this system we have a brown envelope (bribe) society where things get done for some regardless of the law.

It’s not my fault everyone is conspiring against me and now I have no job

(Names removed as it’s not there fault they have got mixed up in this)

Neelu effectively destroyed her career a few years before the death of her neice. The hospital she worked closed she was given a choice of redundancy packages she rejected both and took the hospital trust to tribunal for constructive dismissal during the tribunal she ranted and raved about conspiracy in the NHS against Asians and made a whole load of unreasonable demands. She lost the tribunal and the generous packages were withdrawn Neelu only received statutory redundancy and effectively destroyed her career. So although the death of her neice is what threw her over the edge from her behaviour during the tribunal their were clear signs of self destructive paranoid delusional behaviour.

I have mentioned before that I have a local authority background so I'm not giving away too much here. We had a landlord who specialised in buying properties in a conservation area and turning them into Homes of Multiple Occupancy, most often by ripping down the internal walls, taking out features and replacing the windows of grade II listed buildings.

Each time he did this he would be asked to put right the damage by the building inspector. Each time he refused. Each time the council would take him to court. Each time he would be landed with fines, costs awarded against him and a court order demanding he put it right.

It was never his fault, it was always the evil council out to get him. Strange how other developers in the same area never had a problem. Even stranger how he would never learn his lesson and would do it again.

There is a strong pathology in some that rules don't apply to them, only other people and it's this that I find fascinating about the FOTLers. It's the FTOL positive feedback loop (and I use it in the engineering sense) that inevitably leads to disaster.

In Wrekha's case, there have been multiple opportunities to bale out with a lesser loss (and her house), if only she'd taken good advice. Instead she surrounded herself with a bunch of idiots reinforcing her stupidity.

Yes, absolutely. I think it's an inherent human psychological flaw.

How many of us have continued to spend money on a car, paying for repair after repair when all common-sense would say to replace it. But we've spent so much now, it would be painful to admit our folly and throw that money away. So we put a brave face on, and tell ourselves that we'll get years of reliable use now. Until it breaks again... Or stayed in a relationship or job which we knew wasn't working, but kept persuading ourselves that it would be different now.

I think Wrecka had 2 or 3 chances to turn back at the very beginning. For a moderate cost in pride and embarrassment, and a few thousand pounds in rectification, she could've said "I'm sorry, I got this wrong, can we start over?" But after that, she was so invested in her perception of righteous, blameless victimisation that the psychological cost of reversal was prohibitive. To admit it now would be catastrophic and traumatic, so her subconscious is working 24/7 to prevent that realisation. And so the band of idiots are needed to constantly assure her that she's in the right, she will prevail, she is brave and principled, everyone is out to get her etc.

A case study of human folly.

Now having to back pedal from her earlier rant.And the Russians have been roped into this version of the conspiracy.

Looks like I've been misunderstood, I'm not blaming anyone for lack of numbers I know good thoughts and love have kept my spirit up, keyboard warriors is not the correct term so I apologize, all I was trying to say the system we are in makes us all too busy and many fearful for forming communities that stand by together, I know my Greece sister has every intention to try and form these communities and I have much love and admiration for this vision. Even the Russians that invaded my home said where were your neighbours when you were getting evicted...luckily the press witnessed the Russians so I don't sound like a complete lunatic!!!

According to the linked article Rekha has resigned from her teaching job.

She’s intending to work as a supply teacher but eventually, when the inevitable criminal conviction happens, something she seems to be positively pursuing then good luck getting a CRB check.

The word locally is that the crusties in support have dwindled away and Derbyshire’s finest are planning (yet another) bashing in of the door. Again.

[SteveUK]

And now the supporters are turning on each other. Mad Liz Nolson and bonkers Amanda Pike have their hand bags out. I cant help but think that Liz was pushing her mad debt assumption scheme and even Rekha could see it for the BW that it is. Just a suspicion though.

Elisabeth Nolson Maybe if you had not gone around slagging the help off you had had so far you would have more people wanting to help, people have contacted me saying they want to help but feel you will blame them if you don't get what you expect the divide and rule comes from within and i believe that is why this day you are without. It is a hard lesson we teach ourselves when we realize the fruits of our harvest from the seeds we sow were poison.

Amanda Pike Wow how helpful! what a distructive weird, public trolling comment to make, zero brain cells used in doing so either there was No need at all of this. And you claim to be a truther and help people If true (which i highly doubt) You've no idea the pressure people are under. YOU'VE never been through this.What authority are you on what to do anyway you know nothing which is even funnier! Being a nasty keyboard warrior doesn't suite you Elisabeth. Were you there to hear that first hand?no of course not you just enjoy shooting your mouth off. As i have certainly not heard such things. To write something so mean only shows you up and makes people think....about YOU....., when you could have messaged this privately. Utterly Disgraceful behavior and you ought to be ashamed of yourself. I'm dissapointed with you, use your brain woman! Unless you are and you are purposely attempting to stop others helping Rekha out? Rekha Patel ignore this big mouth who can so easily judge others publicly for what ever motive drives her and keep doing what you're doing. Also don"t be drawn into replying to her, trolling should never be given oxygen and I certainly won't be speaking with her further about this. Big hugs. You are the victim here and never let anyone take the truth away from that xxx

Elisabeth Nolson
Everyone is a victim of themselves in the end is what i was pointing out and as for key board warrior .. you clearly know nothing about me

Elisabeth Nolson
This little escapade has had my energy and many others for over 8 months now the facts need to be shared not squirreled away and reecho is very good at sharing facts taken out of context and reapplied her own way hence why this has gone on for so long.

Laraine Thompson-Pinch
I know nothing about you Elisabeth Nolson but observation on what you have placed on here tells me you are not a nice person. At all. Go away. Please.

Amanda Pike
Who are you Elizabeth? you stick out like sore thumb lady, all I ever see from you recently is bile and distructive behavior. Get back in your hole. Everyone can see what you're up to here.

Elisabeth Nolson
Just someone who spent hours on this only to have everything shared not applied and by rekha not sticking to the script putting my own family in danger organising support and throwing open my own home to have what she got thrown back in my face while she goes around snagging off something she never actually tried but hey you all know better so cracking on

Amanda Pike
Who are you to be trusted a d followed though? What knowledge on property fraud do you have and who the hell are you to dictate to someone what help they should or shouldnt take. It was your choice to "help" her. Surly you arent that dim and arrogant that you believe yours is the only word that should be followed? What results have you had in the previous theft of homes anyway!? You're reasoning for being horrible seems to stem from having your nose put out of joint when not obeyed however surly if you are trying to help regardless of her choices ( this is her home after all) so long as shes happy and doing what she thinks is best then thats a good thing. Id love to hear what your suggestion was I wonder if it would be as transparent as your replies and intentions here. I've a sneaky feeling it would be lol. Word of advice dont "help" people unless you can get their free will removed before doing so that way you can control them to your hearts content then there would be no need to show yourself up in public like this being horrible to a person who is already going through hell without your added abuse. Peace out ✌

But we've spent so much now, it would be painful to admit our folly and throw that money away.

Our old friend the sunk costs fallacy. On another thread someone mentions Konnikova's book on scams. This also features there.

She already has a criminal conviction from last year for obstruction of a enforcement agent, the conviction was not enough to her sacked, but these days having any form of unspent conviction pretty much bars you from the teaching profession. If she accepts defeat and keeps her nose clean for the next year or so her conviction will be spent and she will be able to teach again.
