Subject: Title Fraud and Procedural Concealment – Church View Close, Llandough (formerly Great House Farm/ "Ty Mawr")
Attachments: newspaper_open_day.jpg, Correspondence.pdf

Councillor Carroll & co,

I write regarding potential gaps in the Council's planning and
record-keeping processes relating to Great House Farm, Llandough, which was
demolished in 1988 following the 1987 Court of Appeal decision in BP
Properties Ltd v Buckler.

Recent evidence suggests the Council may wish to examine its own position
on this matter, as it raises questions about procedural compliance and
record integrity that could expose the authority to wider scrutiny.

CORE ISSUES

**1. Identity and Procedural Integrity**

The 1987 judgment turned on a 1974 licence addressed to "Mrs Buckler". My
grandmother, Mary Williams, did not use or accept this designation.
Contemporaneous evidence (1978 newspaper article attached) records her
asserting ownership under her correct name.

If the 1987 court was not presented with this evidence, the judgment may
rest on an incomplete factual record. This raises procedural fairness
concerns relevant to any future review of the decision.

**2. Heritage Information and Statutory Compliance**

The site's archaeological significance was documented by 1978 (Roman
burials, monastic associations). Yet professional excavations in 1994
revealed 1,026 early medieval burials and monastic structures—findings that
should have prompted evaluation under the Ancient Monuments and
Archaeological Areas Act 1979.

Critical question: Did the Council conduct or require prior archaeological
assessment before granting permissions to demolish? If not, this represents
a potential gap in statutory process that may affect the validity of the
permissions granted.

**3. Land Registry Disclosure**

BP registered title in 1982 based on the disputed licence. The Council
should establish:
- Whether any dispute notice or heritage caution was lodged;
- Whether the Council disclosed relevant heritage information to the Land
Registry;
- What planning records exist from 1978–1988 regarding the site's known
archaeological potential.

**4. Corporate Identity Inconsistency**

During my father's appeal, the court treated BP Properties Ltd and BP
Pension Trust Ltd inconsistently—as separate entities when convenient, then
as one when dismissing his claim. This raises questions about how
thoroughly the litigation was scrutinised and whether the Council's records
reflect this uncertainty.

WHY THIS MATTERS TO THE COUNCIL

These issues go beyond a single historical dispute. They touch on:

- **Planning record integrity**: Whether heritage information was
adequately documented and acted upon;
- **Procedural compliance**: Whether statutory protections (Ancient
Monuments Act) were properly applied;
- **Institutional liability**: Whether decisions were made on incomplete or
misleading information;
- **Precedent risk**: Whether similar vulnerabilities may exist in other
historical planning decisions.

REQUESTS

I ask the Council to:

1. **Commission a review** of the planning permissions granted between
1978–1988 for Great House Farm, specifically examining what heritage and
archaeological information was available to decision-makers and how it was
handled.

2. **Refer this matter to the Monitoring Officer** for examination of
procedural compliance and record integrity.

3. **Establish** what correspondence, cautions, or dispute notices exist in
relation to this site's title or heritage status.

4. **Clarify the Council's current protocol** for handling historical title
disputes, previously unknown heritage information, or allegations of
material non-disclosure in past planning processes—to prevent recurrence.

I am not asking the Council to reverse the 1987 judgment or disturb current
residents. I am asking it to ensure its own records are accurate and its
own processes are defensible.

I attach the 1978 article and supporting documents, and am available to
meet or provide further information.

Yours faithfully,

Sion Buckler, Sgt (Ret'd)
Executor for the Manor of Llandough

Councillor of Llandough,

Have you seen this footage? https://youtu.be/4GXmR7mAas0?feature=shared

I'm a military cyber warfare professional.
Not much gets past me.
I was the best hacker in our Government and military in 2005.
In fact I already note this footage was cut and censored to hide key facts.
Not to mention this and other press coverage and footage supressed. Even
unto this day.

More interestingly than my mum's appearance at the end of the clip, is the
news anchor who was my old best friends mum. That same best friend is now
an executive of press monitoring company Meltwater Media in Cardiff City.

There's plenty more press coverage of this whole war waged on my family,
land & home. And it's all going into a Netflix documentry along with the
handling of this matter which you still all try to bury and cover up. Like
the hundreds of child graves surrounding this case. You are all committing
career and political suicide.

I'm still waiting for you and the MP to respond to this matter. For months
now.
MoJ won't comment as they say its ongoing. See attached. Which doesn't make
sense as I've not begun legal proceedings and this hasn't been touched in
decades.
They also took half a year just to reply.

Land Registry made my query into a complaint and shut it down instantly.
Cadw falsely allege they have nothing to do with it when they were pivotal
in it. They should have listen it as a grade II.

I'm not rolling up with tanks, but I'm not going away. We need to
straighten this all out.

You know the clause with harassment? I.e. If I have reason to pursue I may
persist. And so I will persist. But I have no desire to make you feel
harassed. So please just all do your jobs. And diligently.

My family are still all terrorised into silence about this, even decades
later. It's a hostage/ terrorist situation in my estimation (As a military
warfare professional).

I find dealing with my former community and Govenrment 50/50 at the moment.
Which is good enough odds for me to refrain from any direct action on this
matter. For now.

I'm actually still giving you and the MP the benefit of the doubt you're
busy and/or mulling this over still, before taking a position on the
matter. But justice delayed is justice denied. Like the MoJ taking half a
year to reply only to fob me off. Tick tick.

It's not just my family being held hostage there, but my people seem
demoralised and its no way for them to all live. I already fly in and out
like its another military tour of Iraq. I was shot at in Barry and an
Afghan tried stealing my dog last time I was back.

I will feel my villages warmth one way or another. When it's our ancestral
home for centuries. How dare we be ignored, disregarded and exiled. Or shot
at and shunned. Next time I fly home I want it to feel like home. Not
another tour of the middle east where I had to get behind a GPMG in SF role
from a helicopter.

The situation is untenable. We can't go on like this another decade, with
you Brit'ish all on our stolen land without a care in the world, and us all
dispossessed, butchered and forced out by force, secrecy and fraudulent
license.

You don't seem to fathom the ongoing harm, injury and loss here. This
dispossession and disposition, tantamount to a terrorist/ hostage situation
has been ongoing almost 4 decades. My families silence from being
terorrised into silence and the years its taken for me to discover the
fraud, due to the stealth, secretly and complexity of it, does not put this
in the past but very much in our faces today.

Our family demand of you and anyone other installed persons, proclaiming
legitimate authority of our lands, immediately address this matter. I'm not
the kind to hold a gun to your head and demand attention. I'm being polite,
courteous and professional here. And patient and understanding. But it
would not be sane or reasonable for me to allow you or the MP to cause me
let or hiderence.

In my experience if you won't tackle this in the open I have to presume you
are going clandestine and into the shadows and thus pose risk of further
threat to me and my family. As the British State.

There's gaps in records. Court mistakes. There's supressed, redacted,
censored media coverage. Procedural unfairness. Fraud. Theft. And the
silence and lack of co operation rectifying records and narratives only
diminishes your legitimacy and so your authority.

You wouldn't need to be clandestine and abuse force to try to handle men
like me and mine, if you'd just all straighten out this matter. Then you'd
have my trust and fieldty.

You know at the WCIT in Dubai with the help of David Cameron in 2012, it
took a few weeks to exit UK from the treaty. Which is something I had to
bring up with my bank the other day who took twice as long to process a
refund after a dispute because of all the beurocracy. Similarly with this
we have no barriers to communicate, we have A.I, we have digital systems
and digital records yet this is being made into a slow, tedious, confusing,
cumbersom, challenging, obstructive process.

Don't weaponise time. Justice delayed is justice denied. I am accustom to
time being abused so that other hybrid warfare war crime avenues can be
explored like trying to kidnap and silence me. I know the British State
acts like a terrorist organisation even by its own definition of one,
because I was one of you terorrists. In an illegal war. On another
indigenous population. I also spent most of my adult life in exile in latin
american now so I can draw all the parallels between the regime on British
Isles and cartel/ crime syndicates on other banana republics. Ours stink
and is no different to other islands. So let's not fancy our regime or
actors in it, as any better or more benevolant or honest than others.

My postion, proportionate to the situation, seems correct. In that a multi
generational civil war has been waged on my family, home and people, as
indigenous Welsh Britons, on our ancestral birthland. And having completed
my 22 years in oath in 2024, under the employ of the Vale council, I no
longer have the restraint of allegiance to the Brit'ish State. I am
naturally leaning towards being a counter officer and pro Wales fully
decolonising. Bearing in mind this war being waged isn't us ontowards the
Brit'ish State, but the exact opposite. And there's no requirement on our
part we participate willingly or make it any easier than is neccesary to
soft genocide us. After already dispossesing, displacing, looting,
butchering and holding us hostage or exiling us.

In any case I believe my families standing, title and estate was stolen.
Via fraud and armed force. Once the cover up and falsified records are
rectified it will be more apparent why restoration and reperations should
occur. Because it's already very clear to me. As a cyber and electronic
military warfare professional and certified and experienced military
commander and leader. As well as me being the son and grandson of the man
and his mum butchered in the process of this fraud and cover up attempt of
the crimes relating to this terrorist siege on our land and property of
centuries.

We Britons do not negotiate with terrorists.
I'm not SAS. I'm who JSHQ Northwood sent to break the SAS out of the Iraq
prison days before they got executed. I setup the covert drone surveillance
via satellies between Iraq and London. Now it's the inverse situation where
you're regime is on my lands, have executed my family members, hold my
family hostage and still act like terrorists. Silence does not work in your
favour with me. I just presume you are otherwise engaging in clandestine
warfare with me.

I'm hoping for the best. I really am.
Peace, due process, dialouge etc.

This isn't even our generations fight. It's an inherited scandal and mess,
passed down to us. The responsibility to rectify this matter is a fudiciary
one. And I'm just the one in my family daring to simply speak about this.
No wonder none of the hostages there speak. It just becomes another
opportunity for you to all reaffirm our people are hostages under
terrorists.

I've seen recently others speaking out and speaking up being separated from
their evidence, charges fabricated and them subjected to interment. I
myself already had to have the support of a US Marine officer when attempts
were made to frame and extradite and silence me. The defence correspondent
for the mail on Sunday was also contracted to destroy my reputation in a
nationwide campaign before. Which I also managed to stop in time. So I know
the lengths that the regime on that island will go to, to cover up crimes
and fraud instead of remedy.

I doubt a lot of you are even human at this point. Not because of my
actual military attachment to the underground UFO city in Coresham. But
because a mars attack type alien invasion and occupancy and rule is exactly
the vibes I get when I'm back on my motherland. Citizenship seems to now
mean to be hostages whereby people are gagged, hands tied behind their
backs and on their knees. That is the exact situation I see people in, on
British Isles. Any moment due to have our throats slit.

Not for me thank you. I much preferred being behind the machine gun in a
helicopter pointing it at the inhumane terrorists treating humans this way.

I spoke to my sister earlier about an article stating that bailiffs stole,
against the explicit injunction instructions, £30,000 of my dads after
evictim him from his home. In 1988. She told me my family there haven't
ever experienced having £30,000 laying around the house in the almost 40
years since. If that doesn't tell me they're like Jews of nazi Germany
under the occupancy and rule of the tyranny and terrorism there i don't
know what does.

So it is a hostage / terorrist situation so far as I see. We're not
forgotten about. I've made it very clear for months and I'm just ignored
and rebuttled and dismissed. So clearly someone believes we're not all
equal under God. Or law. That's disappointing.

Sirs/ Ma'am,

I'm piecing together something I experienced in Llandough in 1988. From
public record, my research and family testemony. And media.

This is ongoing but here's a video of where my mind at is so far. It's
looking very aweful. I just thought I'd share this to invite you to
comment/ advise on any of this case.

My family seem to have been murdered into silence. But have never
surrendered claim to land in Llandough. Our home, my home, since 1667.

I am trying to communicate this story and please understand its
challenging. There's trauma, anger/ upset and it's fragmented across family
and various historic govenrment archives. It's collosal and multi
generational too.

https://youtu.be/INfFOLndny0?feature=shared

Website below. I will work to get all these evidence onto this website so
there's a chrononical timeline and central location for the evidence.

This matter is unresolved in many ways and I feel it needs to be handled. I
feel it's unacceptable all this could have been allowed to have happened
and gone on and buried or ignored for decades.

For authority to be authority there in South Wales, there must be
legitimacy. Be legitimate about this is all I ask.

George,

Have you had an opportunity to look into any of the concerns I have raised
with you regarding my family's dispossession from land at Llandough?

Might we be able to achieve even the smallest task together in trying to
unravel what I allege may have involved fraud, concealment, mistakes, or
other wrongdoing surrounding my family's loss of possession of land there?

It is land that my family claimed to own, and that claim has never, to my
knowledge, been extinguished or determined against us by a court.

The possibility of errors relating to my grandmother's and father's deaths,
court mistakes, Land Registry mistakes, the dismissal of my father's appeal
against the 1987 ruling, the rejection of the ECHR application, and Cadw's
inaction do not alter the central point: my family's claim to ownership of
the land itself has never been properly adjudicated upon or defeated.

I may even have an interest in Church View Close. I am raising concerns
about what could amount to a major scandal in the manner in which my family
and I were dispossessed of land there. Your lack of response, together with
a number of unusual or contradictory responses I have received from other
parties connected with the matter, has not reassured me that there is a
willingness to examine these issues openly.

If evidence was destroyed, if mistakes were made, or if fraud or
concealment occurred, I am sure you would prefer to assist in establishing
the truth rather than be perceived as defending or perpetuating any
wrongdoing.

Would you at least be willing to help with the more limited task of
identifying when the tree planted by my family was removed? From what I can
gather, the tree planting commemorated our claim to absolute title over our
plot of land. Its removal could arguably represent the destruction of
evidence connected with that claim.

Cllr Carroll,

I hope this email finds you well.

I am writing to follow up on my previous emails regarding matters connected
to Great House Farm / Church View Close in Llandough. Although I am not
currently a resident, my family has deep historical roots in the area since
1667 and we maintain a legitimate interest in the land, history, and
related issues.

For your reference, here is a summary of my prior correspondence to you:
Email Date Key Points Raised
16 Feb 2026 • Potential gaps in Council planning and record-keeping for
Great House Farm (demolished 1988) • Title fraud and procedural concealment
relating to Church View Close (formerly Great House Farm / Ty Mawr)
4 May 2026 • Setting aside BP vs Buckler 1987 case (stolen paper title,
identity fraud, court mistakes, procedural unfairness) • Shared ITV footage
link and request for attention as Llandough Councillor
7 Jun 2026 • Church View Close, Llandough – piecing together 1988 events
from public records, family testimony, and media
25 Jun 2026 • Enquiry whether you had reviewed prior concerns on family
dispossession from land in Llandough; request for any progress or discussion

I'd also like to know who removed the tree my great grandad planted to
commemorate our ownership claim. As per the image in the collection of
Wales archive.

I have not received substantive replies to these points. As the elected
Councillor for Llandough, you have a public duty to respond to reasonable
enquiries from those with a legitimate interest in the ward in a timely
manner (typically within 10–15 working days per standard local authority
expectations).

I would appreciate your detailed response to the above at your earliest
convenience, ideally within the next 10 working days.

Thank you for your attention. I look forward to your reply.

Regards,

Sion Buckler (Ret'd Sergeant)

Hi,

Hywel here. Gale Smith's grandson. I noticed your profile and remembered
you.

I flew back from New York to care for Mamgu for her end of life in 2022. As
you may know I'm a military warfare professional by trade. And what she was
coerced into constituted a biological weapon, according to South Wales
Police this week. That was part of the reason I was in self-elected exile
on a Caribbean island with my partner at the time, Dr Carrie Madej,
2014–2022 in the first place.

The other was what I was screaming to you all about: the Epstein Class.
Something I was also ignored about from 2014 and am still being ignored
about. Despite my 36-day-old boy from 2013 still being abducted and missing
and nobody doing a single thing about it. Mamgu and I prayed in Bethesda.
But then 3 lots of police, 5 military and a helicopter came for me, to
kidnap and silence me. But nobody cared for my son or to go after his
abductors, abusers and captors. Only me because I am able to hack and
expose them. Also I got my DBS for Mamgu’s care, so it's clear they never
had any warrant or charges against me. Because I didn't do anything wrong.
And yet I had to escape and evade capture and spend 8 years marooned on a
Caribbean island until it was safe to return. Disgusting treatment. And it
continues.

From 4,000 miles away I actually obtained video evidence of rituals being
performed on my boy after his abduction from my home (Stockeld Park,
Leeds), but South Wales Police did nothing. I filed a complaint; their
response was I was imagining it. I literally sent them the video evidence.
What in God's name is the matter there?

It truly gets worse every time I dare even look at the situation back in
South Wales. I had to export my dog to my wife and daughter and home in the
Caribbean after a Middle Eastern man (the kind I was put behind a machine
gun from a helicopter and asked to kill not so many moons ago) was in our
11-home village in Monknash trying to steal my dog. The council wouldn't
respond to the matter. It transpires 94 were being secretly housed outside
our village in St Athan airbase in 2014. Furthermore our beach/livery yard
tenancy of 15 years was abruptly terminated at the same time. I suspect so
the beach and car park we occupied could be utilised by a non-veteran such
as myself. I captured a lot of activities before we were moved along so
that beach would be exposed, on my Axon Police body cam and CCTV.

And why I say it gets more insane is because I was denied any help with
housing. I literally had to sleep in a tent for the time I was caring for
Mamgu. My complaint wasn't upheld. I am a soldier and my bones were hot
from almost a decade in the Caribbean in exile protesting this kind of
stuff. So I didn't much mind. I was back with family and on my motherland.
But it's still an outrage how the Vale of Glamorgan Council treat and
continue to treat me.

Last year I flew here to the Welsh settlement in Argentina and offered
myself for anything I might be able to assist with. Given I'm bona fide,
left my military career with full honours, I'm a trained firefighter,
former Sergeant, I can teach, I'm a commander and leader. I was sent emails
from either people's names I couldn't pronounce or no names at all,
completely rejecting me from participation in society. For the 12th
consecutive year.

I truly feel Wales is under a demonic realm spell. It's a hostage/terrorist
situationship. And my next finding proves it.

I discovered that we weren't "evicted as squatters" after BP vs Buckler
1987. In fact BP Bailiffs dragging us out and demolishing our home were
undercover military. Our future they all looted all came from Cardiff
Castle. Our home was a former 800-year-old manorial house in Llandough
(Great House/Ty Mawr). Our land and home since 1667.

And the whole case was dog poo. Wrapped in cat too. Balancing on cow poo.
To put it politely. It's taken me swimming through a mud of email lies,
being ignored, gatekeeping, destroyed records and more to make any headway
trying to draw all your attention to this.

Marconi stayed with us while inventing radio. Peerless Jim fought his first
fight in our barn. Our home should have been listed as a Grade II by CADW.
And Vale Council should have put a demolition block. But everyone looked
the other way. Furthermore our home sat on a medieval burial site of 1,026
bodies, secretly relocated in lieu of housing development after our home
was demolished. And a Roman villa sits under that. And a monastery under
that too. Which still no formal discovery of has been made.

We reported a Roman soldier discovery in 1870. And the Roman villa was
1979. Our home was also considered a local treasure despite spot listing
being ignored. And yet the whole history, heritage and archaeological
significance, known to everyone, was buried alive with our family and home,
where we have been kept like a dirty secret in the dark, for 38 years. And
like mushrooms in the dark, fed poo.

I am outraged. But more so at the lack of pulse there. Because of the spell
the demonic realm seems to have our people under. Our ancestral land has
been turned into a concentration corporate work camp. With
citizen/constituent now meaning hostage under terrorist so far as I see.
And those houses, 20 previously at Church View Close and the 133 proposed,
all on my stolen land, which I still own and challenge you all to – are
nothing more than the terrorist organisation British State's
officer/hostage camps. Following the literal act of terrorism it took to
steal that land from us in 1988 with a 30-officer siege. Decades of murder,
fraud and concealment. All of which has gone unaccounted for. Before my
dad's murder his ECHR (Buckler vs United Kingdom) was rejected in lieu of
BP's rights. Have you all completely lost your nuts back there?

You cannot consider yourselves an authority without legitimacy. I believe
the Senedd need to do a public enquiry ASAP. The MP finally replied after
months which is a start. The councillor for Llandough is silent. The
council clerk retired after I caught him out. CADW also lied before
hesitantly responding with partial information. And when pressed admitted
destroying information. South Wales Police won't reply on email and want a
phone call. The archives in Leckwith have been very careful what they show
Amy who is now arranging a 4th visit to try to understand our ownership
claim and chain of title. Rhys just flew in from Ireland too. This is a
matter of national public interest Christopher. My family require of
you/the Vale Council real support. Legal aid. Trauma counselling.

Nobody in my family has dared speak up because all of us who have
challenged what we've been subjected to have died. Abruptly. It's literal
ethnic cleansing. And the cover-up is ongoing. Their silence isn't
acceptance of the situation, playing the role of a hostage prisoner of war
in a concentration work camp dispossessed of everything all the time
always. As if having anything like children or capital or land/property is
illegal.

I was away being a soldier. Literally serving in war. Or being a
counter-officer in exile in this civil war waged on us. I didn't realise my
baby sister Amy, now in Mamgu’s old home, had nightmares about even
thinking about 1988. Or that my aunties and mum don't speak because they're
traumatised and still in trauma. Because they're still all dispossessed
hostages under demonic realm terrorist. Exporting and ransoming and working
them all to the bone. That's without going into the fact a state-sanctioned
biological weapon was used on them recently too. Electronic directed energy
weapons too. And while that might seem outlandish, please remember I am a
bona fide military electronic warfare professional. I noticed the
differences there every time I fly in and out, like it's another tour of a
war zone. It's only clandestine and hybrid warfare which is why it's
seemingly peaceful there. But is there peace? No!

Much evidence has been destroyed or tried to be, but not so much this all
got past me. I got the ECHR record destroyed in 2000. I got my nan's
statements and other stuff, despite no cooperation from South Wales Police
who deny holding any record. I got ITV footage despite it being classified.
And some of what I have they still won't release or when they do it's
heavily edited. More upsetting is that the news anchor, the recently
deceased Nichola Hayward Thomas, was like a second mum to me growing up and
never mentioned it. She also failed to report my mum was pregnant and us 3
toddlers were in the house when the siege happened to unlawfully dispossess
us of our ancestral land and home in 1988. The first time we've been off
our land or out of our home since the 16th century according to the South
Wales Echo. Whoever was behind this almost got away with it all. I was too
young at the time and I've been too preoccupied with the layer upon layer
of hybrid warfare crimes being committed upon our people on our lands. Is
there peace? No.

This is not acceptable and if there's any hope in any of this it's you. My
nan always said to trust you and spoke highly of you and I have fond
memories of you. I've been polite, professional and courteous with my FOIs
and appeals for less force/stealth, secrecy and more peace/transparency. I
do hope for the best. But I always have a plan.

The community and county and town of Llandough hasn't recognised or
supported or made right or made whole our family. Just kept us in the dark
for 4 decades. It's an opportunity. Love can and needs to be shown towards
my family there by authorities and community. Until now because of the
cover-up and scandal it's been understandable how nobody has known the true
story and severity of this. But I am now alerting everyone to the
falsehoods and even in my already disappointment and outrage at the
Government and community there, I wasn't expecting lies and destroyed
records and ongoing attempts to cover up or ignore what I'm bringing to
everyone's attention.

As I said this is of a high order. The fraud and concealment is complex. I
did report to fraud teams and within 3 hours they responded refusing to
investigate. To be clear I'm alleging possible murder. Fraud/concealment.
Multi-generational warfare/lawfare. But it is not limited to our land and
family.

I believe a playbook, even a racket, has been underway in the UK on a
nationwide scale. Problem > reaction > solution. My late nan's inability to
present her title after it went missing, in addition to the rent
agreement/arrears which amounted to the possession order in the first place
was a manufactured problem. The reaction was the shelving of ownership to
focus on possession. And the solution was to award themselves in their
courts possession. I say this because I met with a former councillor in
Manchester in 2012 who talked me through how, like in our Llandough case
(and the case of my former home 40 Lombard Street Barry) their possession
application to the court doesn't specify it's a human rights issue. Despite
taking a home being one. Particularly a family home. So the case isn't
taken to Chancery/King's Bench or dealt with as equity and on the full
merits of the case. And this is what assures the party seeking possession
the unfair advantage in their preferred court which is suited to favour
them.

So I'm all too familiar. Because my home in Barry was stolen the same way
our home in Llandough was. In the case of my Barry home, the problem
manufactured was slightly different. They wouldn't honour a payment holiday
in my mortgage agreement. I was already in Cyprus in 2010 taking it. I
wasn't asking. When I returned they considered it a debt/arrears. And I
didn't much argue and paid it. Then they demanded £3.5k for reminder
letters. I refused, but offered £2k. Their response was that they'd wired
back my arrears payment, gone to court in that same week, sought and got
awarded possession and went and physically took possession. Then tried to
put the £34k auction shortfall on Mamgu’s house. Who wasn't even a
guarantor. The ombudsman stepped in and Mamgu got a cheque from the
mortgage company for almost giving her a heart attack. And when I got back
from exile in 2022 and saw my house empty and heard it was empty the whole
time I was in exile. I enquired. And suddenly someone was in it. And
there's no record of me ever owning it.

I wonder if I'd won my house in that ombudsman settlement. I got the final
statement from the mortgage company showing the settled amortisation. I'd
still like my stolen home in Barry back. We'd still like my land in
Llandough back. I don't think anyone seems to hear me when I point out how
rogue our state is. How weak our defences seem to be.

It concerns me if things become even a tiny bit more lawless or blatantly
criminal there, it won't be a gradual decline. It will be an avalanche
effect and overnight it will be mayhem.

I care about me and my family. And how we are treated will be a good
indicator for others. And I suspect there's going to be a lot of other
rightful owners of land and property who are dispossessed and the occupiers
are illegitimate.

I also say as a certified and experienced commander and leader;

1. Uniformed, preferably veterans, should be made ready to attend funerals
of what can be considered casualties of hybrid warfare and near enough
ethnic cleansing/a civil war waged on us indigenous Britons by the British
State. Which is already long underway, but the warfare will get less
clandestine and hybrid and a much more visible and undeniable conflict. So
that is a Christian values action that can be taken and is tasteful. It
solves a problem for grieving families to get semi-formal recognition of a
death of a loved one which the state will fight tooth and nail for decades
to shirk any responsibility of.

2. Mass exodus. A high-tech mass exodus should be prepared for. E-trike and
trailers is all that's needed. Meshtastic internet. Inflatable pole tents.
That sort of stuff. Maybe a small inflatable boat. So that people can
remain on that island with a sovereign ability to eat, shelter, communicate
and travel in any eventuality.

3. Land; as I've done. Find our original ancestral birthland. Find the
fraud which resulted in the dispossession. Unravel the fraud. Seek to
recover the land or reparations to be able to buy new land.

I don't hear much in the way of any real military command and leadership
all things considered geopolitically and socially and technologically.
They're my 3 north stars. Whenever I'm on the British Isles I'm able to be
outside of the demonic realm, corporate, anarcho-tyrant concentration work
camps our towns and cities have been turned into. Which are only going to
get worse and worse and more of a squeeze for people. What I suggest is
legal, lawful, dignified, low cost, within everyone's remit to do and a
necessary precaution. It will enable a return to God, first principles and
nature and our anthropological "human animal" ways, while massive
transformation occurs in this advent of A.I. and robotics.

Chris,

Thank you for your prompt response and for making your position clear. It
is appreciated.

It's not a Netflix documentry yet, but here's my scrapbook prelude:
https://youtube.com/shorts/SNUY-XFAjyE?is=__JoJpbo3m6yVXVp

I also attach what my AI agents have drafted, including a draft court
application that has been stress-tested in a Chancery Court simulation.
These documents set out our family’s position and arguments in detail.

I will not treat any further non-response as an offence. Your reply alone
means a great deal after the past year of trying to raise these concerns
with local authorities. Simply having my concerns acknowledged is
significant, given the difficulty I have encountered obtaining even basic
FOI answers. My aim remains straightforward: to understand what happened to
our family in the 1980s, and why.

I'm working on plans to rebuild a replica of our 800-year-old former
"county treasure" (former court house) home in Patagonia, which our county
allowed to be stolen and demolished in lieu of the 20 characterless houses.
Our ownership claim to it has still never been legally extinguished. BP and
the UK Government, synonymous at the time, merely awarded themselves
possession in their own courts (magistrate, not Equity, Bench/Chancery, so
not judged on the merits of the case). This was done in a slew of highly
questionable and suspicious circumstances: procedural unfairness, an
evident land registry mistake based on perjury and concealment, theft, etc.

Great House Farm II, here at the Welsh Settlement in Argentina, is where
Welsh history and herritage and people are celebrated, not erazed, replaced
and ethnically cleansed like in Wales, under Brit'ish occupancy and rule.
Here in Puerto Madryn, the full story of the erazure and ongoing supression
of our Christian stronghold and sacred/ holy Cedwyn Estate in Llandough,
can be told in this open house/ museum here:
https://youtube.com/shorts/-c0UvjM-lwA?is=wvITZl9F2YT8QbuF

With the 133 houses next to the 20 on our stolen occupied land, you will
have successfully created, the Brit'ish pinnacle of invention of a
concentration work camp. But I'm telling you, from when I was guard
commander of Akrotiri (with powers of arrest), when I'd take my soldiers on
tour to Nikosia, the UN occupying had to return parcels of land back to
indigenous Greeks or Turks who demanded and got, their ancestral lands
back.

My security group's research so far (50+ soldiers I served with, including
in war) tells me that the definition of "whole farm" in the 1955 court
order did not include our land parcel. The definition had changed from the
1916 agricultural tenancy (two plots) to one plot, i.e., excluding ours,
following a 1928 enactment of an 1877 agreement. The 1955 court’s comment
excluding our parcel by reference to my grandmother Mary Williams’s
"condition and resistance," while omitting any mention of her ownership
claim, looks like an earlier attempt (pre-dating BP’s 1974 reattempt) to
disingenuously and dishonourably convert our occupancy to a merely
permissive one and to create what is, in substance, a defective title. BP
did not have clean hands when entering court with this, which would have
mattered if it were tried in the court it should have been. Having paid
nothing since 1928, even without our paper title, we would have qualified
for adverse possession of the parcel by around 1940. The subsequent
multi-generational lawfare appears fundamentally flawed.

The fraud, concealment and suspected government involvement I believe
engage exceptions to the limitation period and justify the case being
reopened. Given the public-interest elements—our home’s associations with
Marconi, Peerless Jim’s first fight there, the large medieval burial site,
the monastery and Roman villa, and the fact that furniture looted during
the eviction originated from Cardiff Castle—I consider a Senedd public
inquiry warranted.

My family remain too fearful to speak openly. The conveniently timed deaths
of our father and grandmother, and the public reporting of us as
"squatters" being evicted (the first time we had been off our land or out
of our home since the 16th century), form part of that context.

Last week South Wales Police already started accepting reports of
casualties like Mamgu, who in fact died of what was a biological weapon.
How much more burying your heads in the sand do you want to get back there?
I'm a military warfare professional, so I pride myself on being difficult
to catch and kill, and on getting to my enemies before they get to me. War
veteran commanders and leaders with full mental and physical health, like
myself, remain on the outskirts of society and upwind for a reason. What
happened to my family is ongoing; be vigilant of it. Learn from it. It was
a manufactured Problem > Reaction > Solution. It was and remains a racket.
Our case is the case to shine light on it because it's so well documented
in the courts and press.

The effort already to drag all this back into the shadows, into more
clandestine/silent and violent warfare, defeats the object here. South
Wales Police want to discuss by phone, not email, after already lying by
saying they hold no records on this. CADW initially lied, albeit they're
cooperating a bit more now. The long-standing council clerk for Llandough
initially declined to engage, before directing me to records on the day his
retirement was announced.

I appreciate you may not have intended “injustice” as a finding of legal
liability, and I do not treat it as such. Having considered what I put
before you, however, you have expressed that you are sure an injustice
occurred. This is the first response I have received from an elected
representative that expressly acknowledges, after consideration of the
material, that an injustice appears to have taken place.

Could you clarify which aspects of the circumstances you were referring to?

I am not asking you to determine legal title. I am asking you to
distinguish between the underlying injustice you recognise and those
particular aspects you consider to lie outside the Council’s remit.

If, for example, you regard the core property dispute as outside the
Council’s jurisdiction, but consider that the Council’s own handling of
planning, heritage, records, FOI requests or constituent concerns remains
within its proper role, I would be grateful if you could identify that
distinction. That would help me understand precisely what you meant and
what, if anything, can properly be addressed through Council channels.

Regards,

Sion

Good Sirs,

I'm writing to you both as elected representatives because, frankly, the
institutional dysfunction I am uncovering is becoming quite extraordinary.

My family — including the last remaining members of my dispossessed Welsh
family in South Wales — have spent 38 years living with the consequences of
what happened to our home and land. They have been frightened into silence,
while the institutions responsible for safeguarding justice, heritage and
public accountability appear, time and again, to have preferred discretion,
obfuscation and exquisitely worded emails to the rather unfashionable
concept of actually answering the questions.

I have now spent considerable time reconstructing what happened. The deeper
I dig, the more the story appears to unravel.

We were not merely separated from a house. We were separated from ancestral
land, family history and heritage. And now the woodland on that land is
being cleared for a development of 133 homes.

One might reasonably ask: *whose history is being developed over, and whose
history is being erased?*

Whatever one's political position, the fact remains that possession being
awarded through historical court proceedings does not magically make every
underlying question of title, evidence, procedure or institutional conduct
disappear. A court order is not an archaeological dig, a title
investigation, or a certificate of immaculate institutional behaviour.

I attach a summary of my grievances concerning CADW, particularly its
historic involvement in this matter. I also attach a mock court application
which I have been developing alongside AI-assisted legal research, not as a
substitute for legal advice, but as a means of stress-testing the evidence
and identifying the questions that require proper legal determination.

I hope you will read them carefully.
This is considerably larger than one parcel of land

The parcel my family occupied — Church View Close — may ultimately prove to
be only one piece of a much larger story.

The same apparent pattern of irregularity that I am investigating in
relation to our parcel appears potentially relevant to:

- the parcel we leased immediately to the east, now proposed for the
133-home development;
- the playing fields subsequently acquired by the council;
- the 33 acres associated with the limeworks; and
- potentially the underlying question of whether the Marquess of Bute
possessed the freehold interest that has subsequently been assumed.

That last question is obviously not something I intend to settle by
rhetorical flourish. It is precisely the sort of question that should be
settled by *documents, title records and evidence*.

One relevant public-record reference is here:

https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/2020_01590_hyb

That is the point of my investigation.

I am not asking anybody to accept my conclusions simply because I have
reached them.

*I am asking institutions to produce the evidence.*
What happened to my family cannot simply be filed away

What happened to my family and our home in the 1980s was, in its human
consequences, devastating. From my perspective, it amounted to an assault
on our family itself. And decades of it. At least mid 40's by Western
Ground Rents and onwards.

For decades there has been no meaningful after-support, no meaningful
attempt at reconciliation, no reparative process and, above all, no
satisfactory account of what actually happened.

Instead, the historical record appears fragmented, inaccessible and in
places remarkably difficult to obtain.

CADW is only one of numerous agencies about which my representatives are
now compiling material.

The emerging picture includes questions concerning procedural fairness,
court proceedings, evidential failures, institutional decision-making,
heritage protection and the apparent absence of effective oversight.

The more documents I obtain, the more questions arise.

And I am increasingly uncomfortable with the proposition that *the
descendants of the people affected should have to conduct the investigation
themselves simply to discover what the institutions already ought to know.*

It is particularly distressing that I am having to investigate matters
surrounding my own father's and grandmother's lives and deaths in this way.
I am asking for accountability, not theatre

I appreciate that public bodies have procedures.

I appreciate that officials have workloads.

I appreciate that nobody likes receiving an inconvenient historical file
with several decades' worth of questions attached to it.

But carefully crafted sentences, selective disclosure, unexplained
omissions and silence are not substitutes for accountability.

I have repeatedly encountered what appears to be a culture of concealment,
stealth and institutional defensiveness. Sometimes I receive an answer.
Sometimes I receive an answer to a question I did not ask. Sometimes I
receive an exquisitely polished paragraph which manages, with almost
breathtaking elegance, to avoid answering the actual question.

It is rather like asking for the keys to the filing cabinet and being
handed a brochure about the importance of filing cabinets.

That may be administratively impressive.

It is not an answer.
I am asking you to intervene

I do not expect either of you to determine the merits of my family's
historical or legal claims yourselves.

I am asking you to ensure that the matter receives *proper independent
scrutiny*.

Specifically, I am asking you to assist in ensuring that:

1. relevant surviving records are identified and preserved;
2. agencies holding potentially material records provide substantive
answers rather than procedural evasions;
3. the historical involvement of CADW and other public bodies is
properly examined;
4. the underlying title, conveyancing and land-history evidence is
obtained wherever it survives;
5. any allegations of procedural unfairness or institutional failure are
referred to the appropriate independent bodies where necessary; and
6. my family is finally given a meaningful opportunity to establish,
through evidence, what actually happened.

I have no interest in mythology.

I want the documents.

I want the chronology.

I want the title deeds.

I want the correspondence.

I want the decisions.

I want to know who knew what, when they knew it, what they did with that
information, and why.

If the evidence ultimately disproves some of my suspicions, so be it.

*But the evidence must first be allowed to speak.*
And yes, I am angry

I make no apology for that.

I served this country. I spent years working in public service. I have
worked for the Vale Council. I have served in the military and operated in
circumstances considerably more dangerous than sending an email to a public
authority.

I am therefore perfectly capable of distinguishing between legitimate
administration and institutional stonewalling.

I am no longer asking to be placated.

I am asking for cooperation in recovering whatever evidence remains and
allowing it to be examined properly.

The local community members who have contacted me have long memories. Many
remain convinced that something about this episode was profoundly wrong. I
intend to establish exactly what happened — not through rumour, grievance
or inherited mythology, but through the surviving documentary record.

And if the record contradicts me, I will accept that.

But if the record supports my family, then somebody is eventually going to
have to explain why it took a descendant *38 years, hundreds of enquiries
and an obscene amount of archival digging* to uncover it.

That is not an acceptable model of public accountability.
So, gentlemen — enough of the situationship.

Whatever happened to:

*“We don't negotiate with terrorists”?*

Is there peace?

*No.*

Is there peace?

*No.*

Is there peace?

*No.*

There is, however, apparently an absolutely fabulous quantity of
bureaucracy.

What there has not yet been is accountability.

I therefore ask you, gentlemen, to address this matter with the seriousness
it deserves and to assist my family in obtaining the answers that have been
denied to us for far too long.

I am not asking for special treatment.

I am asking for the truth.

And if the institutions involved have nothing to hide, then surely they
should have nothing to fear from producing the documents.

Regards,

Sion Buckler (Ret'd Sergeant)

Chris,

I flew back, I'm even at Mamgus old house in Dinas from time to time.

Here's a website AI generated and maintains which articulates my grievance.
https://greathousefarmwiki.wordpress.com

I shared with the charity who own the woodland. They're immidiate response
was to do what everyone has always done to us and ignore our ownership
claim and assertion and acknowledge someone else as the owner.

Many and myself are still investigating. But in a nutshell a synthetic
parcel appears to have been created, based on enough years of attempts to
make our occupancy appear permissive, so that the land registry can accept
the story. So 1974 licence letters was also a failed attempt and premis my
family rejected, in a long line of failed attempts spanning back to at
least 1949.

The registration then made the 1987 ruling possible. And that ruling is
what the land registry depend on to justify its decision to allow BP to
register a synthetic mimic of our parcel in their names, without notifying
us until long after the appeal of that registration had ended. In which my
nan conveniently died. Equally that 1987 ruling depends on the 1983
registration of our land parcel (or mimic synthetic version of it, built
from a falsehood of a chain that didn't have root title and was not and
never was successful attempts to make our occupancy permissive.

Furthermore the "whole farm" being treated as one parcel, was not merged
back into one parcel (a synthetic version of our parcel too, not ours),
until after the 1986/1987 case.

So my nan Mary Williams didn't get a fair opportunity to reject the licence
letter in 1974 between it being offered and quashing the 1962 possession
order for our land parcel. Which itself was never enforced and arguably not
legally enforceable as it was based on ambuguity from the 1955 order which
made our occupancy of our parcel simply appear permissive with concealment
of the fact my nans resistence was due to her ownership claim. And
concealment of the fact "whole farm" excluded our parcel of land and was
not in the 1939 tenancy agreement. So not conveyed to Western Ground Rents
in 1938.

Further to that my nans ownership claim, even though unable to be proven
due her title being stolen in 1950/52, still means having not paid anyone
for anything on her parcel since 1928 she will have already qualified for
adverse possession by 1940.

We didn't get fair opportunity to appeal the 83 registration either. We
also didn't get opportunity to appeal CADWs decision to not list our county
treasure 800 year old home as a grade II before BP demolished it at 4am the
next day.

Then the council didn't hold them to any account when they returned in 1989
to get planning permission. The council are also under the microscope for
many failures. Failure to issue a demolition block order. Also two annexes
are missing from those planning docs which are local historic societies
testemony to petition demolition citing our old ancestral homes
significants (home since 1667 and my birth home I remind you).

Please just look at the evidence.
https://greathousefarmwiki.wordpress.com

My family are living like hostages under terrorists and have done for 38
years. It's not acceptable. This demonic realm and spell has to be fought
off.

Do what you can please. Even if its a small prayer for us. I thank you in
advance.

See attached a few images from my military service. I served this country.
I'm still trying to here. I left my career with full honours. My last
employer in the Vale Council. I hope this betrayal will end. I'm more than
disappointed in local authories here, who don't appear any less hostile to
my family and our interest in our land in Llandough.

I can't play the role of hostage or prisoner of war under this regime. My
family are mostly all women and children, I am not. It's an untenable
situation Chris. The Senedd should have at least done a public enquiry of
this.

Dear Democratic and Scrutiny Services,

Scrutiny Topic Suggestion / request for a focused Task and Finish Review

I am a resident with a long-standing family connection to Great House Farm (Tÿ Mawr), Llandough-juxta-Penarth. A public documentary archive of the site is maintained at:

https://greathousefarmwiki.wordpress.com/

I request that the Council consider a focused Scrutiny Topic Suggestion leading to a Task and Finish Review (or other appropriate scrutiny mechanism) concerning the Council-held planning, heritage, environmental and public-authority record relating to Great House Farm / Tÿ Mawr / Church View Close.

Proposed scope (within the Council’s remit):

• the Council-held planning, heritage, environmental and public-authority record relating to Great House Farm / Tÿ Mawr / Church View Close;
• the chronology of Council decisions, records and responses from the mid-twentieth century onwards;
• identification of missing, contradictory or unresolved Council-held records and, where appropriate, referral to the body with the relevant jurisdiction;
• consideration of the site’s heritage and historical record, including its proposed interpretation in the Tÿ Mawr replica museum project in Puerto Madryn, Chubut; and
• recommendations within the Council’s powers, without asking the Council to determine private title, criminal liability or matters reserved to courts or other public bodies.

This is an evidence-review and accountability route. It is not a request for the Council to decide private title or liability.

I am happy to complete the online Scrutiny Topic Suggestion Form if preferred, or to supply any further information the Democratic Services team requires.

Please acknowledge receipt and indicate the process and timescale for consideration.

Dear Mr Buckler,

Many thanks for your e-mail below and your request for Scrutiny to consider the topic suggested as part of it's Task and Finish work.

Unfortunately, on this occasion we will be unable to consider the request for several reasons:

1. The purpose of Task and Finish is to review existing policy Council considerations and identify areas for future policy direction at a strategic level impacting on a county wide basis. These topics are purposefully strategic in manner, and are based upon areas that Committees determine to have the most positive impact.

2. In addition to the above, the purpose of Scrutiny is not to review evidence related to individual historical decisions and make subsequent recommendations, particularly related to planning, which should be navigated through other channels.

3. We are aware through other correspondence to which you have copied us into that there are ongoing concerns being raised through a variety of channels including Welsh Government, CADW, MSs and MPs, and as such it would not be appropriate for a Scrutiny Task and Finish to add an additional layer of stakeholders and complexity in exploring the issues; notwithstanding points 1 and 2 raised.

Kind Regards,
James
