Lets Get Rolling……

This website/blog is dedicated to keeping an eye on the those ‘nice’ regulators who are seemingly not monitored by anyone or are at ‘arms length’ from elected Ministers or just simply left to get on with it without any real scrutiny – Ministers and politicians in general cannot be trusted on fundamental concepts such as integrity let alone summon the brain power to understand complex professional issues, and thus that gap needs to be filled.
Times have changed and the facility of the www now enable greater communication between citizens about issues of governance and in particular regarding those people and institutions who aim to govern our lives with increasing powers and technology to allegedly promote greater good. How do those agents of greater good achieve their stated objectives, and do they actually work in practice? We think not in many cases.
Nameless bureaucrats in Whitehall and elsewhere, politicians of every variety and colour, the media and other sorcerers think they can get a handle on matters but it is a fact that they are simply self-serving. Intuitions by definition are self serving as they need to justify their existence. They claim to be ‘listening organisations’ with a warm and cuddly feel, but you try penetrating their armoured soft furry exterior – their hidden vipers will poison you, usually by personality assassination, or worse.
Regulatorwatch will hold those regulators, sometimes total idiots, to account and you (and they, and their masters – the Ministers) can judge whether in practice they have their ear to the ground, their eye on the ball and a leg to stand on in terms of value for money – in short, are they up to the task they were designed to achieve. In some cases, was their task simply to give a false impression of probity in management of affairs – you know, like the Commons committee’s that ensure compliance of Elected Members of Parliament in the mismanagement of their sordid affairs. Mmmmmmm!!!
This website/blog has a particular emphasis on Social Care, its institutions, particularly its regulators and the political and media efforts at management or opinions on the sector. It is hosted by a social care expert long in tooth and well peeved by politicians, the media and others who foolhardily think they understand anything about looking after children, older people or preventing abuse, or even more preventing crime.
This website/blog represents the professional and wider (reasoned/reasonable) public views on social care – idiots’, social work haters, the average Sun reader and paedophiles (probably interconnected) need not attempt to post messages – all postings are moderated by me (assisted by software) to exclude you.
Furthermore, nothing unlawful will be posted on this website but contributors will need to satisfy themselves that they do not breach any laws.
We pay homage to and acknowledge the Guido Fawkes website http://www.order-order.com/ for inspiration and our motivation.
