HERSTMONCEUX COSTS SCANDAL WEALDEN DISTRICT COUNCIL EAST SUSSEX AND THE DISTRICT AUDITOR

HOW MUCH TO HIDE THE TRUTH? - COSTS SCANDAL

Nelson Kruschandl - Victim of Vendetta

Dear Wealden District Councillor,

The following is a chronology and costs estimate, based on the last few years of Enforcement and Harassment spending. You will appreciate, in the early days (first 15 years) I did not think to log all visits, letters, etc.

What clearly became a 'get Kruschandl out' agenda, soon developed in a full blown vendetta, when I fought back, and proved to be more resilient than usual. It was in fact my success in defeating the waves of enforcement troops you ordered in that sent costs spiralling, as you might care to agree from the information below.

What is incredible about all this, is how you came to fool the District Auditor into allowing these sums to be so wasted. Your Recharge Budget reveals a sum of between £10,000 and £20,000 was eventually built into forward projections, just to keep battling with me.

How on earth you think these revelations benefit our country is beyond me. If we are trying to show the world how reasonable and peaceful we are, this kind of behavior toward a private citizen shows our true colours as a nation. I for one would not want to be associated with what can only be described as the official version of terrorist tactics. Such behaviour in my opinion bars us from membership of any peace keeping force, such a NATO. One can well imagine, that contrasted against the invasion or Iraq, the reasoning behind us joining President Bush in that war, may well come under more intense scrutiny.

You may well imagine such misuse of public authority, may be seen as causal in creating a destabilising situation within the boundaries of the United Kingdom. Fostering such bad feeling and building up such resentment, is not only unfair to the subjects concerned, but also illogical in terms of national security and the general well being of the economy.

I hope you may agree this is food for thought.

Yours sincerely

Nelson Kruschandl - VICTIM IN PERSON
