The first thing to say is my name is Paul Cardin, and I do everything out in the open – with my full name attached, whether it’s physical and for real or online – and have done ever since I blew the whistle at Wirral Council on a financial scam 23 years ago. Wow? Is it really that long? I didn’t even know I was what’s now called a “whistleblower” at the time and naively thought council directors would urgently step in to protect me. How wrong I was.
Ultimately, although regarded as a ‘troublemaker’, I won my case and defeated the trumped up gross misconduct charges that came my way. So I wasn’t sacked.
I won’t rant on about my subsequent activity here, but I don’t believe my honesty / integrity is open to question. Others may think it is, that’s fair enough, but everyone out there can go some way towards reassuring themselves by putting my name into any online search engine (I never give G**gle free publicity) and doing a studied search for what I’ve been up to on behalf of myself, my family and others – often vulnerable others – who’ve come under attack by employer, authority, business, council, and central government ne’erdowells – for whatever reason – over the last couple of decades.
This is why I was a little bit concerned to receive the following message from the not readily identifiable leader of the No CO2 pipeline – Wirral Facebook group this morning. This group is doing sterling work, has had truly amazing beginnings and has 5,000+ members after only two weeks:
The money that was asked for referred to travelling expenses here and back from / to Essex for one person. There is no charge for the event itself, which is free.
The post I made on Facebook is now gone. (I never kept a copy, so I can’t reproduce it here). It briefly summarised the contents of the following Wirral In It Together blog post:
Wirral CO2 Peak Cluster, Carbon Capture news. Latest. Are you a landowner in the path of this proposed pipeline? Have you considered a land / property trust?
The primary reason I’ve now gone public on this situation is that my intention – above all else – is and always will be to try and get this pipeline stopped…!
Secondary to that is the desire to help and advise other people.
Thirdly, I would like to continue to exercise my free speech (okay, I’m aware free speech isn’t a right and is a ‘grey area’ here in the UK).
I am politically homeless and my public activities cannot be purchased for a price. I believe that goes without saying.
Anyone can reassure themselves about me and my motivations by doing a simple online search. I’m now in a position where I can’t get this important information out directly to landowners because they don’t necessarily follow my blog or the website of The Wirral Residents Association, whereas there will likely be a fair number of them subscribing to No CO2 pipeline – Wirral. Frustrating…!
In the ideal world, once they have all the information and have studied it, landowners can decide for themselves whether they want to attend the event in order to invest in the promised protection of land and property trusts or not. They don’t really need someone else shielding them from it, whilst blocking access.
I cannot vouch for the trustworthiness of land and property trusts as yet, neither for the integrity of the as yet unnamed third party, but guess who uses them as if they’re going out of fashion? The elites.
