Monsieur X: The incredible story of the most audacious gambler in history

Product Information

In its decision, the Ombudsman said it was clear there were delays in accepting and considering the homelessness application by Liverpool Council, as well as failing in its communication. The final chapters have a sense as serving as a naming exercise of long-dead Mediterranean mafia types, and so the book limps a little towards the end. It said: “The council did not carry out an assessment, provide advice or take any other action before closing Mr X’s case in February 2023. The council was aware at this stage that Mr X was living in his car and that on occasions his 16 year old son also spent the night in the car with him. For over seventy years, from 1701 to 1774, the title had no living representatives in the French court, as Philippe of France, died in 1701; Louis XV was the youngest of the sons of Louis of France, Duke of Burgundy and at the time of his accession to the throne in 1715 had no brothers.

The title was restored in 1775 for Louis Stanislas Xavier, Count of Provence, the oldest surviving brother of the reigning Louis XVI and the future Louis XVIII. After his coronation in 1814, the title passed to Charles Philippe, Count of Artois, his younger brother. [6] Charles Philippe, who led the ultras during the Bourbon Restoration and became King Charles X in 1824, [7] was the last royal sibling to officially hold the title of Monsieur. His successor, Louis-Philippe I, the next and last king to rule France, had lost both his brothers, Louis Charles and Antoine Philippe, many years before he succeeded to the throne. A man left homeless was forced to sleep in a car for almost a year with his 16-year-old son after Liverpool Council failed to deal with their housing issue.The title was later assumed by Gaston, Duke of Orléans, brother of Louis XIII, and then Philippe I, Duke of Orléans, brother of Louis XIV. From 1643 to 1660, while both princes were alive, Philippe was commonly known as le Petit Monsieur, while Gaston, his uncle, was known as le Grand Monsieur. [4] [5] [ unreliable source?] In modern French, monsieur (plural messieurs) is used as a courtesy title of respect, an equivalent of English " mister" or "sir". [2] It can be abbreviated in M. (plural MM.), Mssr. (plural Mssrs.), [9] and rarely M r (plural M rs), but never Mr., which is only for Mister. Acton, Lord; Ward, A.W.; Prothero, G.W.; Leathes, Stanley (1918).

Mr X told the council he had been sleeping in his car for three months and that his 16-year-old son sometimes had to sleep in the car with him. He said he had been removed from the housing register and could not rejoin and could not rent a property privately as he received Universal Credit. This is indeed an incredible story...but a very sad one, too. Patrice des Moutis is the sort of character that modern day horse racing sorely misses, and Jamie Reid does a wonderful job introducing you to the man, his great charm and undeniable brilliance.

The council’s delays and communication failings have meant that Mr X has potentially had to live in his car, separated from his family for longer than he otherwise would have.”
