removed. I responded that it did still need to be
                 removed. His voice was raised throughout the
                 exchange and I had to ask him to calm down and
                 lower his voice more than once. He then said that
                 he wanted to move on to finding out about moving
                 to another address. He proceeded to give me a full
                 history of his experiences with the police and
                 previous housing management and alleged that
                 ‘Jackie’, who had previously lived above him and
                 ‘Stan’, his immediate neighbour on the ground
                 floor, had victimised him over a long period of
                 time and that he had done nothing wrong. This
                 history was very full and it was difficult to get a
                 word in because he was so worked up so I let him
                 relay the information to me as it seemed like he
                 wanted to get it off of his chest. He was very
                 derogatory about the police and previous housing
                 staff who had signed a request for an Asbo
                 application against him. I told him that I could not
                 comment about previous action taken. He then
                 came on to more recent events and stated that
                 there had been an incident between him and
                 another resident where she had shouted at him out
                 of her window because of him starting up a
                 scrambler bike in his garden. He maintained that
                 he was courteous during the exchange but the
                 police came and arrested him because she told
                 them that he had threatened to kill her and that he
                 had been put in the mental hospital, had won his
                 case in court and was able to go home as of today.
                 He said that he wanted me to give him ‘points’ so
                 that he could move. I explained that his best
                 means of moving would be through a mutual
                 exchange, but he was adamant that he did not
                 want to do this and wanted to be moved in the
                 same way that he moved into this property 11yrs
                 ago by being given points. I explained that a
                 transfer was unlikely based on what he had told
                 me so far but that I could look into the position for
                 him. He said a lot about his perceived
                 victimisation by his neighbours and expressed that
                 he felt that I should I have a duty to protect him. I
                 explained that I had a responsibility to all
                 residents living at Burncroft Avenue and took the
                 opportunity to mention that I had received some
                 reports about antisocial behaviour by him that I
                 would need to discuss with him but suggested that
                 we leave that for today. He then put his mother on
                 the line (she had been trying to interject
                 throughout the conversation) who said she wanted
