Unfortunatly It is also YOUR/OUR government as you/we live in the u.k, weather you voted for them or not. And you are also slaved to money as you are happily taking it and using it.If you Stopped taking any money, then that whould be a worthy thread to read!

Agrophobia can also be just a fear of large open spaces, i suffered from it too.

Either you did not read my posts or you are ignoring the part where I mentioned that I lived for years (about 5, Im guessing) without ANY support from your government/society. I found/farmed my own food and lived in a hut that I built myself, I stayed away from people and my meats were normally fish or fox (its not too bad if you boil it for an hour or two).

Whose land did you do this on? Whose material did you use to build your hut. What did you use for clothes? What would you have done if you had become seriously ill? Of course I read what you put, though I seriously doubt you did.

I have caught up with the stuff that I liked when I was younger (computer programming) and am now coding software that I hope will one day prove useful to the world (I can dream). One peice of software that I have developed has been called a "market changer" by a few people that my friend has spoken too and he has an agreement of a £37mil backing for the startup of a company based around it. The bulk of the money to buy to the boat will hopefully come from this. I am not exactly related to the company as I gave the software away for free to my friend, but he has said that anything I want will be paid for should the company launch and hit IPO.

My advice on this is go see a lawyer. The world is littered with people that "gave away" things that went on to make a fortune, be it software, the Colonel's secret recipe or that guy who really drew the first Itchy and Scratchy.

I have told him that all I want is a boat so that I can leave this place. I was happiest when I was doing things by myself, for myself.

But you won't be alone. You said you would be sailing off with the friend who is planning to buy the boat with you, or is he now going to be too busy organising the IPO? p.s. If you do wish to try single handed sailing, a Bavaria 42 is not best suited for single crewing, but I guess as a seasoned yachtsman you already know that.

I am aware ESA by itself could never fund a boat, but that does not stop me saving towards it and writing software in the meantime. Computer programming has always been as easy as talking/walking for me and I code in all computer programming languages.

All? Really? And all from a book? Well done. I can only program in a few different languages; and most of those not very well; but software I have written (as part of a team) is reckoned to be on around 1bn computers worldwide.

I qualify for ESA because I can not go out and work. I qualify for DLA as its not means tested and I find it difficult to leave the house or be around people so incur additional expenses. These are YOUR regulations, not mine - I'd be happier away from society which is what I intend to do.

As you said that you weren't Sectioned, despite your best efforts, none of the regulations force you to take what you qualify for, nor exploit it. A polite "No thank you, I will fend for myself" would suffice.

I wish you well, wherever you choose to go. I wish I could go with you but I feel tied to the planet I grew up on and will not be able to join you on your quest.

I tend to think this thread is just a big old wind up.

I have to agree (sorry op) my BS antenna began violent shaking when I read that someone had got a landlord to sign an Assured Tenancy document which states you can't get someone out. I work in housing and I really can't believe this has happened. Sorry op.
