Or more likely, they can drag themselves through a Kafkaesque system intended to make it harder for victims to get any kind of payment, for years, to get a pittance while being pilloried by the nation's press, while being forced to relive their relative being essentially murdered by the state. If they so choose.

Or they'll allow a few high profile cases to win, which will then be used to excuse further welfare cuts because of 'the payouts'.

MOT is only every 2 years in France so that isn't ridiculous. I bet it costs more to pay someone who understands the no doubt out of date software to change the system than it'll save though. And presumably the garages will lose business and have to let people go?

MOT is every year here and 70 euros minimum. I have driven long enough that I remember it was 40-50 FIM which in euro should be around 7-10 euros. Of course that was before we privatized the MOT.

They are in social psychology anthropology, racism, etc. A couple of possibilities (and this really depends how recent they are) Bookaid: https://bookaid.org/ Freecycle: Or, bundle them into relevant groupings (theme / level etc) and advertise on Freecycle. I had to do this when I left the UK for a few years. I bundled some up as 'suitable for someone studying surveying' 'suitable for someone studying a-level maths' or whatever. Colleges/Unis: If near a college or uni might advertise them as freebies for students (maybe near the start of the academic year would be better unless she is really desperate to get them gone now!) Unless she's prepared for a lot of stress, little point in trying to sell them.

Just in case people haven't heard about the workfare lawsuit:Wiki posted:The Department for Work and Pensions appealed to the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom. Meanwhile, it also drafted new regulations to ensure the continuance of the work placements. During the period of the scheme which had been ruled unlawful, perhaps 300,000 people had had benefits of an average of around £530-70 withheld,[3] totalling around £130m which the DWP was potentially obliged to repay if Reilly and Wilson won their case in the Supreme Court. The Government sought to avoid having to make these repayments by retrospectively changing the law through the Jobseekers (Back to Work Schemes) Bill, which became law on 26 March 2013.[4][5][6][7] e: And yes they did win, after many appeals, much good it did to any of them: wiki posted:On 19 March 2013, before the appeal to the Supreme Court was completed, the Government also passed the Jobseekers (Back to Work Schemes) Act 2013 to retrospectively make its unlawful sanctions against benefits claimants legal, in order to avoid potentially having to repay unlawfully withheld benefits payments of around £130m. Something something rule of law,  .

Guavanaut posted:Put them on eBay at a very low price for whoever wants them. Give them to a local used bookstore who will probably do the same. Donate them to your local library (providing they're not hardcover or too large). Scan them and stick them on an academic torrent site. Academic books are a gently caress for coming out with new revisions every year which are 99% identical to the old one but which are also “required” for whatever course, so I wasn’t sure if e.g the Uni library would even want them.

We were always getting academic books in the charity bookstore I volunteered at, no one ever bought them. Ebay / Amazon them probably your best bet. Did any of you have lecturers who would assign their own book as required reading for the course, even if it wasn't actually required. Happened to my partner loads during her time at uni, nice side hustle I suppose.
