Blast from the past

I was doomscrolling and I came upon this skit Donald did in 2011 (which we know wouldnt be acceptable nowadays) it goes “youll be my unregistered *** offender, when my mum and dad are both at work”. It really made me miss his old stuff, does anyone know more songs/skits/leaks from that period of time that has similar cadence when he sang with a much higher voice?

Mandatory reconsideration on Housing Element UC got denied

I have had a long journey on trying to claim housing benefit with universal credit. I suffer from a long term health condition that can have me making silly administrative errors especially because I’m on medication that leaves me drowsy/woozy most of the time, its been a long journey and made a claim for housing costs but I made an error in my original application, this has left me using 95%+ of my total allotment for my rent, with very little to use for everything else for the rest of the month. I tried again with help this time a few months later, and my claim was then verified, but then I was called by a UC agent and told to change one detail in my already verified claim which I did immediately, then they denied me again. I then asked why they verified me only to do that in the end, it went back n forth with me even asking for a mandatory reconsideration which led to my whole claim being held back and my rent due date drawing near. I was on the phone with them and leaving messages nonstop begging for them to drop the reconsideration if it meant me getting my normal claim because I cant afford to be homeless. I ended up getting ab emergency payment which was my normal payment and the added housing benefit on top. Fast forward to 3 days ago, I got a letter stating my mandatory reconsideration was denied once again. They said I cant afford appeal with a tribunal, what do you guys advise I do? Does anyone know what the process is like? How long itll take??
( I believe that call I got from the uc agent was malicious, plus I’m always getting different advice on the telephone as opposed to what I’m told on my journal which is what led to my initial application mistake. I think I’m due for housing costs+ backpaid rent from the first month of tenancy)
