In my letter
to the Department for Work & Pensions I wrote:
I came to
Britain in August 1980 at the invitation of the Master of Balliol College, University
of Oxford, and of Kings College, University of Cambridge. (The Kings College provided
the grant for my first seven months in Britain.) I came here and I have
remained deeply convinced that mu studies, the work I have been doing, is
important for students of philosophy in the Czech Republic and in Britain (and
in every country culturally linked to the cultural treasures of the Ancient
Greece). I am deeply convinced that my work ought to be properly remunerated,
and I claim that remuneration simply by my work, which can be seen on my
website and my blog. From time to time I resort to a direct appeal, as I have
done in my recent appeal to the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University and to
Oxford Academics. I enclose these two texts as items 5 and 6. Nothing would
please me more than if my appeals received a positive response and I could
write to you that I do not need the Pension Credit after all. Unfortunately, it
is very unlikely. These two texts will tell you how desperate is the situation
in which I live, and how much I need the Pension Credit. If the Vice-Chancellor
of the University of Oxford or any academic positively responds to my appeals,
I should inform your office about it.
