Thomas, Lord Erskine was born January 10th 1750. During his lifetime he became Britain's foremost advocate, through his defence of people accused of treason and corruption.

His defence of Thomas Paine, accused of high treason for his work, The Rights of Man, cost him his position as Attorney General to the Prince of Wales. Later, Erskine totally alienated George IV by defending Queen Caroline against the king's attempt to deprive her of her rights and title.

Rather go into all the boring education, career stuff I will focus more on the man, the character, for I think Lord Erskine was a bit of a character, he had a favourite dog with him at all his consultations in Chambers a favourite a large Newfoundland dog called "Toss". He taught it to sit upon a chair in chambers with his paws placed before him on the table. Erskine would put an open book before him, a wig upon his head and one of his advocate's bands around his neck. What his clients thought of this exhibition we do not know, but it is unlikely that they would have forsaken him for another counsel.

He was obviously an animal lover a dog he kept by him was one he had rescued from some boys in the street when they were about to kill it. Later, on March 2, 1811, he sent a bitch to a fellow peer with a note to say that, "her name is Lucky and may all good luck attend your Lordship".

He also had a pet goose which followed him about in his grounds, a macaw and a great many other dumb friends. He even had two special leeches which he believed had saved his life when he was ill and which he called his "bottle conjurors". These he kept in a glass and, he said, he gave them fresh water every day and had formed a friendship with them. He would often argue the likely result of a case on how they swam or crawled.

Erskine said he was sure they both knew him and were grateful to him. They were called "Home" and "Cline" after two celebrated surgeons with quite different dispositions. He amassed the company at a party given at his villa in Hampstead, near "The Spaniard's Inn", by talking about his regard for animals and, in particular, those to whom he was attached. He then produced the leeches in their glass which he placed upon the table. It was impossible, however, wrote Samuel Romilly who was present, "without the vivacity, the tones, the details, and the gestures of Lord Erskine, to give an adequate idea of this singular scene".

He introduced into the Lords a Bill for the prevention of malicious and wanton cruelty to animals, saying that it was a subject very near to his heart. Disgusting outrages, which he said

"were too painful to describe, were being perpetrated upon animals whilst the law did nothing. This was because animals were considered only as property. They were entirely without protection from cruelty and they had no rights. Yet man's dominion over them was not given by God for their torture but as a moral trust.

Nature had provided the same organs and feelings for enjoyment and happiness to animals as to man -- seeing, hearing, feeling, thinking, the sensations of pain and pleasure, love, anger and sensibility to kindness. Such creatures might have been created for man's use but not for his abuse. Towards them, as in all other things, men's duties and interests were inseparable. Extending humanity to animals would have a most powerful effect on men's moral sense and upon their feelings and sympathies for each other."

When the speech was published as a pamphlet, its editor suggested in the Preface that it should be introduced to families and schools and deserved to be circulated "among the lower classes of society by the clergy, and by all moral and pious persons'.

When the Bill was in its Committee stage, Erskine pointed out that during his 30 years of Parliamentary life he had never before proposed any alteration in the law. He still had no wish, he said, to link a statute with his name; he had a better motive. If the Bill were enacted, it would not only be an honour to the country but would mark an era in the history of the world. In the event, the House of Commons proved not to be ready for animal rights and the Bill was defeated but eventually went through in 1809.

Lastly and briefly, perhaps our Lord Erskine was also a wee bit of a romantic, he survived his first wife, Frances, she passed away in 1805 after 35 years of marriage, on October 12, 1818 he married Sarah Buck in Gretna Green, he was 20 years her senior.

It is said he never missed a day in court and led a very healthy life but in 1823 Erskine set out by sea on a visit to Scotland with one of his sons, hoping to see his brother the Earl of Buchan. But he became ill with a chest infection on the journey and was put ashore at Scarborough.

He managed to travel to the home of his brother Henry's widow in Almondell in West Lothian, where they were joined by the earl. He died at Almondell on 17 November 1823 and was buried in the family burial-place at Uphall in present day West Lothian.

#OTD in 1989 – Belfast solicitor, Patrick Finucane is murdered by Unionist assassins.

Pat Finucane, who acted as solicitor for republican hunger striker, Bobby Sands, was shot dead at his north Belfast home in front of his wife and children. The De Silva report into the brutal murder of Pat Finucane, coupled with the prime minister’s searing confession to parliament, revealed probably the worst atrocity by the British state within UK jurisdiction in recent times. Pat Finucane was…

Ups And Downs, Ebbs And Flows . . .

Here's this week's new post: Ups And Downs, Ebbs And Flows - the pros and cons of a few jobs #writer #WritingCommunity

Sunday 18 June 2023 I’ve mentioned before when I work full-time my creativity goes bye-bye. It recedes somewhere into the back of my mind, occasionally peeking out from behind work brain. Okay, let me be honest, it’s not that creative brain voluntarily goes there; it’s that work brain is loud and obnoxious and takes over everything, so poor creative brain must run and hide lest she gets squashed…

It is indeed that time. Album of the muthafuckin' year time. I've constructed Top 25 my list as follows: I decided to just choose a top album, and everyone else is tied for second place, even though the list is 2-25. Incidentally, these have all been in heavy rotation for the entire time I bought them. I highly recommend all!

Hath - All That Was Promised • What can I say about this album. I found Hath a few years back after their 'Hive' EP release, which is one of my all time faves. 'Of Rot and Ruin' came out in 2019 and surpassed expectations. How in the fuck, then, could they beat that... welp.

We Are Magonia - Triangle Unicode • Dark synth out of France.

Penny Coffin - ΣΚΕΛΕΤΙΚΟ ΣΚΟΤΑΔΙ • Scottish/Greek death metal. Heavy, grungy, beautiful.

Saor - Origins • Scottish melodic/folk black metal? Their catalog is very good.

Tyrannus - Unslayable • Amazing blackened thrash/death out of Scotland. If I were ranking, this album would likely be second spot.

Blackbraid I • One man Indigenous black metal from "USA"

La Armada - Anti-Colonial Vol. 2 • My Dominican punk brothers out of Chicago absolutely kill it.

Danger Mouse & Black Thought - Cheat Codes • Again, damned close to number 2 here as well. One of the most anticipated albums aside from Hath, and they did not disappoint.

Void Witch - Void Witch (EP) • Some awesome grinding death metal out of Austin.

Solicitor - All Debts on Death (EP) • Was sadly unaware of these guys right here in my back yard. Some badass Seattle thrash!

Mad Marge & The Troublemakers - It's a Mad, Mad World • Loved Mad Marge & The Stonebreakers; much the very same rockabilly greatness. Certainly the only band in this entire genre I listen to.

Devil Master - Ecstasies of Never Ending Night • Philly's great blackened death sounds.

Immolation - Act of God • This, their 11th? album is probably their greatest. A proper kick to the teeth.

Aethereus - Leiden • Some whip ass Tacoma techy proggy death metal or something.

OFF! - Free LSD • Obligatory add. OFF! never fail to disappoint. This album is a bit less old school 40-second-blast-songs punk than their previous records, and it's great!

Nechochwen - Kanawha Black • Some more Indigenous American metal outta the mid-Atlantic and nearby states.

Sierra - See Me Now (EP) • Lovely one gal dark wave, also from France.

Lividus - Tetany (EP) • Newer addition, but these ladies shred out of Portland, Oregon.

Tzompantli - Tlazcaltiliztli • Some Californian Mesoamerican Indigenous death doom. Good record, this.

Vermilia - Ruska • Lovely Finnish one gal pagan black metal! Very good catalog!

Temple of Void - Summoning the Slayer • Detroit OSDM. Sounds exactly like what you'd expect from Detroit OSDM. Amazing stuff.

Sol Messiah - GOD CMPLX • Another absolute gem out of the Rhymesayers Entertainment crew. Sol kills it.

Parius - The Signal Heard Throughout Space • This was another highly anticipated record from the Philly prog fellas. Produced by Jamie King (ala BTBAM) and you can hear the similarities. This record is an adventure!

FALSE FIGURE - CASTIGATIONS • Post punk greatness out of Cali. I absolutely love their sounds.

Björk - Fossora • Not much I can say about Björk that hasn't been said.

There it is. Number 1 and Number 2 (x24) albums of 2022. Thanks for @explosionshark for sharing the album art collage maker, which actually had all of these albums covers!

26th April 1854 saw the death of Lord Cockburn of Bonaly.

Henry Thomas Cockburn, as he was born as, was largely responsible for saving many of the beautiful building we have in our capital city, he campaigned to protect and improve the beauty of Edinburgh as it began to grow in the early nineteenth century.

Cockburn was born on 26th October 1779, the son of Archibald Cockburn and Janet Rannie..Henry was a nephew of the notorious politcian Henry Dundas and through his influence gained the position of advocate-depute. Fortunatley he did not share his uncle's political persuasion and was instrumental in the foundation of the 'Edinburgh Review' in 1802.

As an advocate he defended many of the political radicals, who had been a constant worry to the establishment since the French Revolution. He became Lord Cockburn in 1830 and Solicitor General of Scotland. In this capacity he assisted in the drafting of the Scottish Reform Bill in 1832. In 'Memorials of His Time' he laments 'the last purely Scotch age' before political factionalism and provides a vivid first-hand account of life in the capital during the 'Age of Enlightenment'.

He was a noted conservationist of Edinburgh's built environment. The Cockburn Society, which continues to have a significant role in the protection of the city, is named in his honour.

He died at Bonaly Tower, the country seat he had built in southwest Edinburgh, and lies buried in Dean Cemetery. Cockburn Street in the Old Town of Edinburgh was also named after him.

Addressing Housing Disrepair: Ensuring Safe and Healthy Homes

If you have ever experienced issues like leaking roofs, faulty heating systems, or mold infestations in your rented accommodation, you are not alone. Housing disrepair is a prevalent problem that affects millions of tenants worldwide, leading to various health, safety, and financial concerns. In this article, we delve into the intricacies of housing disrepair, its causes, impacts, legal rights of tenants, and measures to address and prevent such issues.

Introduction to Housing Disrepair

Housing disrepair refers to the state of a property that has fallen into a state of neglect or deterioration due to the failure of the landlord to maintain it adequately. This can encompass a wide range of issues, including structural defects, dampness, pest infestations, electrical faults, and plumbing problems. While some landlords promptly address maintenance issues, others may neglect their responsibilities, leaving tenants to live in substandard conditions.

Common Causes of Housing Disrepair

Several factors can contribute to housing disrepair, including poor construction, lack of regular maintenance, and environmental factors such as extreme weather conditions. Structural issues like cracked walls, unstable foundations, and leaking roofs are often the result of long-term neglect. Damp and mold thrive in poorly ventilated or damp environments, posing health risks to occupants. Plumbing and heating problems, such as burst pipes and malfunctioning boilers, can disrupt daily life and compromise safety.

Impact of Housing Disrepair

The consequences of living in a property with disrepair issues extend beyond mere inconvenience. Chronic exposure to dampness and mold can exacerbate respiratory conditions like asthma and allergies, leading to respiratory infections and other health problems. Additionally, living in substandard conditions can take a toll on mental well-being, causing stress, anxiety, and depression. Moreover, tenants may incur additional expenses for temporary accommodation or medical treatment, further exacerbating their financial strain.

Legal Rights of Tenants

Tenants have legal rights regarding housing disrepair, and landlords are obligated to maintain their properties to a certain standard. In the UK, the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 outlines the landlord's responsibilities, including ensuring the property is safe, structurally sound, and free from hazards. Tenants have the right to request repairs in writing and, if necessary, take legal action to enforce their rights. Options include contacting local housing authorities, seeking assistance from legal aid services, or pursuing compensation through the courts.

Steps to Take When Facing Housing Disrepair

If you encounter housing disrepair issues in your rented accommodation, it's essential to take action promptly. Start by reporting the problem to your landlord or letting agent in writing, providing details of the issue and requesting repairs within a reasonable timeframe. Keep records of all communications, including photographs or videos of the disrepair, as evidence. If the landlord fails to address the issue, seek advice from a housing solicitor or advocacy organization to explore your legal options.

Resources Available for Tenants

Fortunately, tenants have access to various resources and support services to assist them in dealing with housing disrepair issues. Local housing authorities can provide guidance on tenants' rights and mediation services to resolve disputes between landlords and tenants. Legal aid services offer free or low-cost legal advice and representation to individuals facing housing-related issues. Additionally, community organizations and charities may offer practical support, advocacy, and educational programs to empower tenants.

Preventive Measures

Prevention is key to avoiding housing disrepair issues in the first place. Tenants can protect themselves by conducting regular inspections of their rental properties and promptly reporting any maintenance concerns to the landlord. Familiarize yourself with your tenancy agreement and understand your rights and responsibilities regarding property maintenance. By taking proactive measures and addressing minor issues early on, you can prevent larger problems from developing and ensure a safe and habitable living environment.

Conclusion

Housing disrepair is a significant issue that can have far-reaching consequences for tenants' health, safety, and well-being. By understanding their legal rights, seeking appropriate assistance, and taking proactive measures, tenants can effectively address and prevent housing disrepair issues. It is crucial for landlords, policymakers, and community stakeholders to collaborate in ensuring that all residents have access to safe, healthy, and adequately maintained housing.

FAQs

What are the landlord's responsibilities regarding housing disrepair? Landlords are responsible for maintaining their properties in a safe and habitable condition, including addressing any disrepair issues promptly.

How long does a landlord have to make repairs? Landlords should address repair requests within a reasonable timeframe, typically within 14 to 30 days, depending on the severity of the issue.

Can tenants withhold rent if repairs are not made? In some cases, tenants may be able to withhold rent or deduct the cost of repairs from their rent if the landlord fails to address the issue within a reasonable timeframe.

What if the landlord refuses to make repairs? If the landlord refuses to make necessary repairs, tenants can seek legal advice and explore options such as contacting local housing authorities or taking legal action.
