Do not get Wilt onto the subject of dangerous driving and women drivers in particular – without detailed explanation Wilt has been cut up by or bumper trailing women than men .Women, or some of them at least, either drive so fast or hog at 60 mile per hour the middle or outside lane to infuriate the most retiring of men. Men do it too, but far less often.

Also without further explanation, Wilt believes women may be a better bet for insurers in terms of accidents, but in fact cause most claims – usually others bumping into their rear end at roundabouts or junctions as they pause to refresh their lipstick. Utter fucking Dorks.

However, women now also appear to be the cause of other accident insurance claims, see here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/travelnews/7917861/Male-road-accidents-soar-in-summer-due-to-womens-short-skirts.html

But of course it is again the male driver who has to pay the cost. Forgive me if I sound a little like Jeremy Clarkson, but this article does somewhat help make my point: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/bbc/7913834/Jeremy-Clarkson-joins-burka-debate.html

If these rather attractive women do get out and about in flimsy attire, what do they and the insurers expect? Not of course that they want to attract attention to themselves. That would be far too “oppressive” to suggest. Wilt will admit to his eyes, whilst driving, being drawn to the occasional near undressed woman – is that oppressive?

So far, but only so far, Wilt has not had an accident due to goggling an attractive woman – a few near misses but not yet an accident.

Perhaps women should have compulsory insurance if they dress up in short skirts or flimsy attire whilst out and about on the public highways and pavements? Mrs C should however be entitled to a huge discount – she would hardly turn your head whilst you potentially end up driving into the back of a lorry!

But, you know women – many of them believe the whole fault is the testosterone obsessed man who should otherwise have better things to think about. Wilt has obviously lost the plot, and thus the female perspective will lead to eventually a huge reduction in the birth rate. That is why some women dress as they do –“please do not copulate with me or think of me as a sex object.” Yeas dear, please stop goggling my bum and four pack!

You see Wilt has been the cause of many a woman crashing their car – it’s the bum I think, and his sexy dress code. <Daughter becomes violently sick whilst laughing on the floor>.

Some People just do not get it, do they? Two young women torture a poor girl, break her nose and afflict burns to her body for – wait for it- allegedly sleeping with a former boyfriend. A woman scorned, huh? Scorn two and you are fucked by the fairer sex – mmmmmmm.

See the Telegraph article here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/7917772/Women-jailed-for-torturing-friend.html

What is wrong with these people? Absolute twats!

Next on the hit list is Ofsted – see Community Care article here: http://www.communitycare.co.uk/Articles/2010/07/29/115011/ofsted-to-face-select-committee-inquiry.htm

No news yet of the future of Cafcass but this article might give you a clue that the Government have them in their sights: http://www.communitycare.co.uk/Articles/2010/07/28/114997/cafcass-efficiency-questioned-by-national-audit-office.htm

What will happen to all these people? One suspects the local authority vacancy levels in social care might fall.

Wilt will however not be joining them.

Some people continue to believe they are above the law, including Mrs C. See here: http://order-order.com/2010/07/30/lord-chief-justices-rules-mps-to-be-treated-as-common-criminals/

And here: http://order-order.com/2010/07/30/in-the-courts/

These three MPs and single Lord are going to end up in Court and the evidence tested as to the charges of fraud.

Unless of course they make some further appeal and win it – who is paying for these Court cases? I suspect it is the taxpaying public.

The Telegraph states:

“The four men are now expected to take their case to the Supreme Court for a further appeal, meaning any trials, which had been expected to start at Southwark Crown Court in London in November, might now be delayed until next year.”

The BBC report here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-10814765 and the Telegraph here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/7918481/Former-MPs-charged-with-abusing-expenses-will-face-criminal-trials.html

What absolute twats.

It’s a record; the highest activity on Regulator Watch was on the day that the Government announced the transfer of the GSCC (http://www.gscc.org.uk/Home/) to the Health Professions Council.( http://www.hpc-uk.org/ ).

The number of visitors reached thousands rather than hundreds. It included the GSCC and HPC, various government agencies and even parliamentarians (we will spare their blushes).

Wilt predicted the demise of the GSCC 12 months earlier – he has been proven right. Thus the effect of Regulator Watch has been positive and effective. Most visitors were however grass roots members of the public and social care workers, plus other bloggers – thank you all for your support.

The Wilt is off on business travels again, up north UK this time but immediately after on a couple of trips to sunnier climates – plus of course in August and September the Wilt’s are in the Channel Islands(August) and hot (very) Egypt in September. By which time those £70,000 worth of invoices should be in the bank. Those nice people at the Inland Revenue and Customs will be very happy – Wilt less so. Unfortunately his customers do not pay “cash in hands.”

We will however keep in touch, and regulator watching – oh and watching Mrs C cyber activity.

Posted by Wilt on July 29, 2010

It is a month since Mrs C was arrested – not much changes however; she still stalks and continues her favourite activity, complaining. People really should read this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberstalking

Therein one will find a good description of the disgusted of Leamington Spa.

Here is another useful site: http://www.bullyonline.org/related/stalking.htm

And this one: http://www.flayme.com/stalker/

Let’s look at Mrs C stalking activity, and this is typical:

On 28th July she was surfing via her T-Mobile phone at 00:14 am (Wilt was in bed), then 07:40 am – she really should get her 8 hours of sleep as it is unhealthy not to do so. Then at 12:38 pm and 16:25 pm – she also found time to access the Cloud Network again, but it appears in London this time. Mrs C is on walkabout. Does she know her every click on Regulator Watch is monitored – yes. Can she help herself by not accessing Regulator Watch – no.

What is her obsession, exactly? Well of course we already know the answer to that question – its Munchausen Syndrome. She should look it up – really, together with reference to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberstalking. Either that or it is mad cow disease, or as some argue, pure evilness. Wilt is coming around to that thinking himself but reserves judgement.

Meanwhile access to Regulator Watch remains high in relation to searches and access about Mrs C – the press and government agencies just love it. We have however needed to block a firm of solicitors in London and their IT support service. They had a little too much interest and strayed into a friends website post the arrest and bail of Mrs C. That of course amounts to stalking and consequently harassment – ooooooeeeeeerrrrrrr!

We understand Mr Plod is being advised. We are further advised that Leamington Spa has a brand new combined Court, police station and cells – very convenient we think, and good economics.

The more she lurks and stalks, the more google uprate Regulator Watch as the primary Blog on social care – carry on Mrs C, you are good for business.

The GSCC continue to operate as ‘normal’ pending the transfer in March 2012 to the to be renamed Health Professionals Council http://www.hpc-uk.org/ – or one should say the proposed move in 2012. Many in the Community Care Blog Care Space http://www.communitycare.co.uk/carespace/forums/gscc-to-be-scrapped-health-professionals-8085.aspx#32964 have mixed feelings about it.

The GSCC gives advice on the implications of the recent announcement of their demise here: http://www.gscc.org.uk/Home/ and click on big red “i” icon. In short business as usual – mmmmm.

Meanwhile the GSCC has published a number of recent outcomes from their Conduct Committee. This is a very odd one: http://www.gscc.org.uk/NR/rdonlyres/435BAC0D-2BA8-493F-B815-9DD47CB9FFBC/0/NOTICEOFDECISIONHIBBERTS.pdf

Essentially the GSCC dropped the case after it was unable to convince a local authority manager to give evidence and to proceed without it would amount to hearsay. Now you would think the GSCC would have realised this before taking it to Committee.

The GSCC are in a difficult position because they cannot force either a registrant or witness to attend – they have no teeth in effect. Not helpful. And of course they have no powers over employers and the code of conduct relating to them is not worth the paper they are written on – it’s just a wish list in effect.

Whoever drew up this legislation and the employers codes needs a jolly good lesson in ‘how not to make a balls-up.’

Other recent concluded hearings include this one: http://www.gscc.org.uk/NR/rdonlyres/AA176AF6-7A81-4CB7-8BD5-12FE7E710EA0/0/NOTICEOFDECISIONSIMPSON.pdf

Note the offending behaviour relates to 2008 – either this was part of the backlog or the GSCC were not previously aware of it. The naughty boy was looking at pornography on his employer’s computer.

He was suspended for two years.

Another: http://www.gscc.org.uk/NR/rdonlyres/30BF47BA-8D5E-4B6B-8329-DCE583C46253/0/NOTICEOFDECISIONMAHABIR.pdf resulted in a one year suspension. This did go back to issues between 2004 – 2008 and the GSCC were made aware of his drink-drive conviction of December 2004 (after he was first registered by the GSCC) in, and I find it odd how they term it, “around 19th November 2008;” either it was or it was not the 19th November 2008 – what’s with this “around” business?

So exactly what were the GSCC doing between (“around)” the 19th November 2008 and 21st July 2010?  Not a lot it would seem. The registrant had asked that his GSCC hearing be postponed as he claimed it would prejudice his Employment Tribunal, which it appears is still pending.

And the disposal by way of a one year suspension, is that proportionate especially as he did eventually cough up the details to the GSCC, albeit four years later? Wilt thinks no – far more appropriate would have been an admonishment.

However, the registrant only has himself to blame as he was not in attendance to defend himself or give evidence. With the GSCC that, as a friend would say, is like a turkey voting for an early Christmas.

Each case is worth a read – click on the links above.

The GSCC have published their latest up-coming hearings here: http://www.gscc.org.uk/Conduct/Conduct_hearings/Upcoming_hearings/

Among some interesting ones are:

Why does the GSCC need to get involved in this matter http://www.gscc.org.uk/NR/rdonlyres/B002178D-48C2-4B2F-ADF0-D1309F474498/0/SummaryNyabunze.pdf one is left to wonder?

Wilt has had the following Email:

Dear Wilt,

Having been outside of the country for some time I thought I wanted to drop a line about one of my favourite case, Jacinta Hofstetter vs GSCC. I am not sure how close you are from the CST but it seems that you have a very positive view of their work. On my side I spent, for professional reasons, a fair amount of time looking at the Jacinta Hofstetter case. I must say that when I saw the CST judgment I could not believe they produced such poor piece of work, the lack of intellectual rigour is astonishing. The person claimed that she was bullied, harassed and victim of racial insult from a manger at Brent. She moreover accused this manager of having made significant mistakes putting children at risk. Despite evidence this was never investigated either by GSCC and the CST. Not only was it not investigated but the manager was used as a witnessed, produced a statement though did not turn up at the hearing! It was proved that two witnesses lied in their statement, again no mention of this made by GSCC or the CST, only that the witnesses were credible, to lie is credible? One witnessed who conducted the investigation against Jacinta Hofstetter recognised that she had not experience in conducting disciplinary hearing, was out of her depth and was asked to build a case against the defendant instead of investigating impartially. It is in the recording of the hearing but nowhere in the GSCC final statement of the CST. Nobody complained against Jacinta Hofstetter whilst working in Brent. It is only after her suspension that people were asked to complain about her. Evidence though presented were not considered as even not quoted or disproved. Start seeing a pattern? Who would honestly believe that someone with a 15 years of career, became, in the middle of it, for around 12 month, totally and utterly incompetent, and this by coincidence just after reporting her manager for…incompetence! Despite all the GSCC efforts it was still recognised that no children were harmed or put at risk. But who cares, the point is that Jacinta Hofstetter did not go on her knees in front of the GSCC or the CST and fought for what she thought was right. Good for her, I like this! GSCC spent ~£0.5m on to make up a case against her. She obviously did not have this kind of money to spend. I could spend the night going through the details of how wrong this case was and I have no doubt in my mind it was a miscarriage of justice. However I am sure you have better things to do and even if it is not always obvious we are in a democracy and everybody can have his/her point of view.

Best regards,

Justicewillbedone.
