    Political Light Bulbs

    How many social workers does it take to change a light bulb?
    Answer: NONE – the problem is with the system and not the light bulb!

    Well, that joke has now lost some credibility given recent revelations about our elected (sorry, Honourable) members of Parliament – it seems some Honourable idiot needed a qualified electrician to change all his light bulbs, and charged all taxpayers in consequence.

    Some people think social workers are incompetent – think on reader!

    RegulatorWatch is still in its early days of development but I welcome all our visitors and contributors – one exception being Mr Plod (or Mrs Plod).

    Visitors are welcome to suggest areas of discussion, supply data/information (as in the case of Paul) or provide issues for research – Wilt relies upon you to help this site progress, so please write to us at wilt@regulatorwatch.co.uk with data, leads or suggestions.

    Suggested discussion thread:

    The voluntary sector are a mixed bunch – most are good but some are simply an ongoing business concer e.g. the NSPCC. What should be their status, how do they perform and indeed should some become a core service funded by government/local authorities and some bumped into becoming a business. Are they accountable?

    I thought the joke was:

    How many social workers does it take to change a light bulb?
    Answer: THREE – one to change the bulb and two to reflect on the experience!

    Yes, you are right and excellent for reminding us all of that excellent joke.

    Talking of reflecting…

    Regulator Watch has gone international – Canada, United States, Republic of Ireland, Denmark and Isreal. The latter is a spammer so I will have to block their various IPs.

    The list of UK towns and cities is vast – too long to list but is getting regular traffic from some IPs (apart from our fan club at the GSCC). Community Care also feature several times.

    Pass the word around.

    Further news articles and Wiltish observations are in hand on the titles:

    Moo clock
    The Purpose of Fish
    White Rabbit AND
    Court Reports

    Each will be informative and if not, hopefully just a good read and amusing!

    Keep comning back. We will update as soon as time permits.

    p.s. the broadband problem persists – its crap at around 1 megabites per second and very frustrating.

    Just for you

    Some of you may have read his blog but the “lawwestofealing broadway.blogspot.com” gives us a magistrate in often amusingly full flow at the idiocy of the world he inhabits. Some of you may be amused or not as you would expect judging from the diverse range of contributors here.

    Here is some food for thought on professional regulators and costs issues. Now if the UK social care regulators start charging costs to those whom they deem to be losers in cases there will be a rapid increase in social workers becoming insolvent or bankrupt. That’s all we would need on top of being in a job with poor pay in the first place.

    How come they bury social workers 300ft down? –
    because deep down they are really good people.
