Unless they crash the economy and start enslaving people, they've got a way to go before they hit the bottom.

Given my level of technical knowledge, I can confidently say that I am unable to offer support in any way.
But I'll second that this is a great instance -- one which I've really enjoyed seeing grow and begin to pick up steam -- and anyone able to step up has my gratitude.

The "bus factor" is the minimum number of team members that have to suddenly disappear from a project before the project stalls due to lack of knowledgeable or competent personnel.
I guess our bus factor is currently 1.

Not just any attorney. She was the Attorney General for England and Wales from 2021-2022, the chief legal advisor to the Sovereign and the Government.
And got roundly criticised by the Bar Council for her actions undertaken in the role.

The perfect is the enemy of the good. If people are going to use -- and some are -- harm reduction seems like a no-brainer.
Yes, it would be great if people weren't shooting up at all... but you can't quit if you're dead.

Well
only one in 10 council planning departments are fully staffed, with 13% operating with fewer than three-quarters of posts filled
with
80% [of local authorities] reporting they did not have enough officers to carry out their workload
because
long-term cuts to funding have had a visible impact on planning departments’ ability to retain staff... there has been a 43% fall in resources to the planning system from local authorities since 2009-10.

A fun game of spot the difference, but apparently there's more going on that you can't see -- eg the planned underground carpark just not being built at all, and them building a carpark over the garden instead.

Then stop disseminating this information online. For now.
You say you're taking legal action. Hand all of this to your lawyer, and follow your lawyer's advice. I am very confident they will advise you to stop posting this in a public forum.
In the meantime, I strongly urge you to talk to a trusted family member, friend, or medical professional. It sounds like you are highly stressed. In the short term, forget any perceived public health emergency. Take care of your own health first.

Then sincerely hope that doesn't impact any investigation by the authorities.

Maybe not. Ample time to make an independent judgement whether to downvote.
OP, if you suspect financial crimes are being committed, you should not be tipping off those involved by publicising this.

Is anyone able to screenshot the modmail receipts? I can't actually see them, and without them OP's story seems... rather thin.

"Authentic engagement"? It's been a matter of minutes since you accused people on Lemmy of being sockpuppets...

These accounts somehow were able to fully understand an incredibly complex story in less than 10 minutes
What is easily understandable, in far less than 10 minutes, is that a) this is incredibly hard to follow, and b) your mass-posting this everywhere does not comes across well.
If, as you allude to, you have retained legal counsel, I urge you to ask them if posting this all over the place and getting into internet bunfights is likely to impact your case... and I also urge you to follow their advice when they advise you to stop.

Why not? Labour are the party that introduced tuition fees in the first place.
Look, I know the forecast was for Saturday to be the last hot day of the year, but I thought we might have a *few* days of grey before the start of all-out autumn rainstorms.
