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.

There is an awful lot of interest on Regulator Watch from hundreds of sources about both the demise of the GSCC and Mrs C – must be all the press releases or otherwise the demonic woman of Leamington Spa is ranting again.

Strangely, a colleague has similar activity on his website. We hope Mrs C is not breaching her bail conditions. He copied me this letter:

“Dear Mr Plod

“Mrs C is at it again – how long did you say she would be locked up for on breach of bail, and does it follow that harassment by others (even unwittingly) can cause their arrest too?

“We have their addresses and personal computer IDs. That is their log on identities. What Silly Billy’s these people are. Should we block them or just let the evidence accumulate?

“Wilt tells me that Mrs C and her toads are on his blog daily, without fail, usually three times a day except Sundays – she seems to be very regular. I will not repeat what Wilt goes on to describe as regular – he is just so rude, albeit correct.

“Do you understand the meaning of ‘Twat’? Personally I prefer a good single malt whisky. I must ask the barman for a ‘Twat.’ Sounds as if it might be interesting. I am game for a new experience.

“Anyway, you are on duty and enough about drinking – any advice please shall be greatly appreciated.”

To set this in context Mrs C was ARRESTED for cyber stalking and harassment on 29th June 2010 and bailed on conditions for three months not to make contact with (or cause others contact) with certain named individuals, companies and their websites.

Mrs C is a foster parent, so called although you would be hard pressed to find any activity as such as she spends most of her sad life in her former council house scouring the internet for any muck she can use to perpetuate her sad and demonic harassment. Go here to get a good description of Mrs C: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberstalking

Less than a month, as predicted, the mad twat has breached her bail.

Oh dear………. She has no fucking clue.

What next?

Wilt predicted precisely this 12 months ago: http://www.communitycare.co.uk/Articles/2010/07/26/114986/sector-leaders-shocked-and-surprised-by-abolition-of-gscc.htm

According to Community Care sector leaders are shocked – well they should have been reading Regulator Watch. So, no surprise to Wilt and he will not be on his own in feeling pleased. The GSCC, with its stupid logo, has been a nightmare from day one. No doubt staff will be leaving to find new, proper, jobs with far less perks and salary – good.

The GSCC was after all one of the primary reasons for Regulator Watch being set up – to publicise those aspects of their work which they preferred not to have published.  You know like the major cock ups they frequently made and continue to make. What will Regulator Watch do without them and after the demise of Plaskitt (ex) MP and his demonic constituent?

Of course there is no word about the sister agencies in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales – and the functions of the GSCC will be transferred and subsumed by the Health Professions Council. Let’s see how well they do. For sure they cannot do any worse.

I like the title of the Government Report found here: http://www.dh.gov.uk/prod_consum_dh/groups/dh_digitalassets/@dh/@en/@ps/documents/digitalasset/dh_117832.pdf

“Liberating the NHS” has a certain, very satisfying ring to it! The title of Chapter 5 will be particularly poignant to some people in Oxfordshire and Salop.

Pages 21 – 23 deal with the proposed abolition of the GSCC and transfer of its functions. Interestingly, there is a hint that social work students will not be required to register and, unlike at present, the new registration will require no government subsidy i.e. total self funding.

Legislation will be introduced in November 2010 to make all the various changes and implementing the transfer of functions by the GSCC will be effective from April 2012 – these are indicative as distinct from absolute. If all goes to plan, by the end of March 2012 the GSCC will no longer exist – the end of an era error!

So who next? The ISA is already under notice and has delayed starting registration – they are as good as toast and Wilt predicts they will be gone before the end of the year.

Ofsted, Cafcass and Scie? The latter, to my surprise is not a public body although one suspects it gets some funding – it is widely predicted it will not survive. Wilt predicts Ofsted will get broken up and demolished and Cafcass will simply disappear.

The General Teaching Council is already toast. You never know, it might yet come about that regulation of social care might just go the same way. If not, expect to pay more for your registration or start calling yourself something other the protected title of “social worker.”

When the term ‘bonfire of the quangos’ was termed – they really meant it!

Good.

One of the icons and great men of our time (and hero of Wilt) has resigned – the impeccable and gorgeous Dr Desmond Tutu. God bless him. We will miss him and the world a lesser place without him. However, we doubt if he will entirely “retire” as men of his ilk tend not to fade away – he does however deserve retirement after long service to humankind. His standing down is an inevitable but sad loss – we remember his very kindly, warm smile, directness of personality and “no shit” tell it how it is approach.

What a hero.

Another hero not yet lost, is also featured in the news – Dennis Healy, or rightly known as Baron Healy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis_Healey

Sadly, his beloved wife Edna May has passed away. He will be bereft and without his anchor in his late age of 92. What a character, what a brilliant man he is and what “a silly Billy” he never was. Dennis Healy was probably the first political figure Wilt recognised – he was difficult not to recognise due to his bushy eyebrows.

He however stood out as a politician of conviction, although some would disagree, and of some intellect – he is another Oxbridge left wing graduate from a historic college, like Wilt and friends.

Even today, and especially today in reflection of his sad loss, Wilt recalls happier times when hearing many years ago Healy say “don’t be a silly Billy” but especially his exceptional house of commons response to his friend but opposition MP Sir Geoffrey Howe’s attack in the Commons, “It’s like being savaged by a dead sheep.”

He was and is, and may he live much longer, the best Prime Minister the UK has never known. Ken Clarke follows in his footsteps – another best Prime Minister we have never known.

Time moves on however, and today we have (call me) ‘Dave’ and I am frankly impressed with him to date – he has that kind of gritty and grounded attitude I admire in Tutu and Healy.

Our thoughts are however with Dennis, with his menacing eyebrows and intelligent wit. As is said, behind every good man is a good woman – and we think that is true in the case of Dennis. Edna is a real loss, in her own right, but especially in support of her man.

Live long brother Dennis. God bless you Edna.

Dave……….

21-07-10

Oh what a surprise, not: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-10702423

Birmingham are failing – what do people expect, for Gawd sake? Now this will be a real test for the new administration under David (call me Dave) Cameron.

The Council via Councillor Len Clark, head of children’s social care:

Mr Clark said: “We know we are not good enough yet, we know more needs to be done and we know what we have to do to improve.

“But there is no quick-fix solution to the problems faced in an authority the size of Birmingham.

“Birmingham has a track record of turning around services and there is determined political will to resolve this issue and achieve our goal – a world-class children’s social care service.”

Last week the council said it estimated it will have to make £230m of savings during the next four years.

In February, it announced up to 2,000 jobs could be axed during the next financial year.

Unions warned that the cuts could place an unprecedented burden on social workers, making it harder for them to visit people at risk.

Cllr Clark, with all due respect you are talking out of your arse – you aint got the first fucking clue, and the answer to the size of the Council is to divide it by half (at least).

Not even Ofsted, those super-human intelligent (sic) quango-crats from hell could misunderstand an utter fucking disaster when it hits you full frontal in the face.

C’mon (call me) “Dave” – sort them out for fuck sake. In 18 months time it will be only yet worse again – believe me.

Next on the hit list is the BBC – they are about to get a reality check on the meaning of austerity and big budget cuts. And you know what? Jo public will probably find their licence fee reduced – excellent.

In fact bloody brilliant – the emphasis being on bloody! Wilt enjoys those blood and guts kind of programmes

See the Telegraph article here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/bbc/7895750/Licence-fee-for-wasteful-BBC-will-be-cut.html

And the BBC article here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-10670182

Don’t get Wilt wrong, the BBC (and the UK broadcasters in general) is still probably the best TV/Radio media in the world – compare it to US media, for example, and you would think the US are the centre of the universe – they are so parochial to the extent that the term must have been originally coined to describe US media.

Unlike of course Hollywood, these days, who make very reasonable efforts to portray concerns much wider afield – albeit there is a lot of dross too.

Mind you, compared to North Korea, the US media is a pinnacle of fully encompassing media journalism.

Oh what a silly boy – I recall him as that prospective candidate MP in Cheltenham and had hoped he succeeded. Of all places he should have done. Not that he is black has anything to do with it – no, Gawd forbid!

Well the good Lord Taylor of (all places) Warwick is facing prosecution for fraud – but then Warwick (and Leamington Spa) has some other frauds too.

See the BBC report here on Taylor: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-10662479

Guido comments further here: http://order-order.com/2010/07/16/breaking-lord-taylor-charged-with-false-accounting/

Of course, the man remains innocent until proven guilty.

Now we all know that Wilt is something of a simple minded chap – at his age keeping things simple is necessary. The previous Gordon Brown led Government complicated (and generally fucked up) almost everything. The only uncomplicated thing Brown can be thanked for, to wilt’s mind, is the “flat rate” VAT scheme – it’s too complicated to explain! However Wilt’s bookkeeper and accountant sort all that out.

You see, if Wilt’s services were no longer required, or if he were short of work (which he aint), he would just move on to other new work. No severance pay (except for breach of contract) and no pension either – not until it matures after years of contributions by the said Wilt, and no one else. The only exception is his current pension (taken in a lump sum – thank you) and his pending local government pension to kick in soon – and very good it is too. He was very lucky that the LA pension is so generous, and “locked” until he shortly falls off his desk chair and hangs up his Court/business suit.

To Wilt, simple minded as he is, he made good provision for the future, and indeed for the future of his offspring, friends and family – together with Mrs Wilt probably a combined portfolio in excess of £Xm. Not a lot we admit, but enough for the prudent and well in excess of that which most can hope to bestow upon their journey to their maker (or the devil).

However, what about our current civil servants and local government officers pensions and severance? Pensions will without doubt require them to contribute more, a considerable amount more, and their severance pay will be reduced, Wilt is in no doubt, the up to “6 years” redundancy payments will not now happen further – what fucking idiot ever agreed that? Probably Gordon Brown advised by Ed “Ferkin” Balls, the smarmy bastard.

The Telegraph has about the best article: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/7871570/Ministers-to-slash-pay-offs-for-civil-servants.html

And others include: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/politics/10504840.stm

http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2010/jul/05/government-war-unions-strike-redundancy

What rather confuses Wilt is the threat of strike action – “OK comrades we will go on strike cos we are to be sacked………And sacked without severance pay of six years” The “comrade” union official on a £250,000 salary thinks and then adds “Comrades you deserve better, you have served (sic) your country and the public well – what reward are you given? A few weeks’ severance pay and a p45 with the option to actually work (I mean do a real days work) for a living in the private sector, no expenses, no huge paid holiday and sick leave entitlements.”

The man dressed in a very expensive suit continues with a lump in his throat: “Comrades, I need you, my children in public school need you, my wife (who shags many of my colleagues) needs you (although I hope not all of you 600,000) and I have a standard of living to expect from your union contributions – how else am I expected to live? I would have to go out to work, for Gawd sake – is that reasonable?

A lone, very shaky voice peeps up – “ahem, so I go on strike, lose my job anyway and I have less money than I would have had if I had not gone on strike, and yet you still get my contribution to your trade union that pays you 70 times more than me to achieve what exactly?”

The “comrade” replies – “It’s your duty to serve your comrades and the union.”

Union member: “Can I get a rebate on my union contributions?”

Wilt kind of thinks most civil servants and local government officers realised, albeit too late and regretfully, that at some point they were to join the real world – the real world beyond state benefits and state salaries.

You see there is not a lot of difference between a state benefit and a state salary – both waste space and both drain money from those who actually do a day’s work!

Wilt

ps: There are more recent articles since the above was drafted. See: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/politics/10519726.stm

And: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/7874285/Civil-servants-redundancy-pay-to-be-capped-as-soon-as-possible.html

The gloves are off – a big scrap in Whitehall is pending.

Next: the quango, local authorities and, possibly, MPs!

Perhaps the nice civil servants can develop an Iphone application for calculating the difference between what they could have expected to get and what they will get in redundancy payouts. See http://regulatorwatch.co.uk/2010/07/iphone/

Posted by Wilt on July 6, 2010

What is wrong with these people? They have no fucking clue about proper budget management and have been spending money we do not have, on toys phone the iPhone! See the article here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/10514367.stm

Did they not realise there was a thing called a recession and now a major fiscal deficit? An application for your iPhone on how to change a wheel on your car – that must be a priority! Generally the car manual is useful for that kind of thing, I find.

Well, how can they then complain about reduction in both civil service pensions and redundancy packages?

Beam me up Scotty, please!

It may, or may not, be a familiar news story that Gordon (Cyclops) Brown has been absent from Parliament since he walked elegantly (very difficult for him) from Downing Street hand in hand with wife and children – it was Wilt admits not a vitriolic sight even though he has dreamt of Gordon “just departing” from politics for many a year.

Wilt never intended however that he should just draw his salary and stay at home – I know it has been difficult Gordon, God don’t I know given the fucking mess you left us all in, but can you justify not representing your constituents at parliament? Why exactly are you absent without leave?

Is it perhaps true as Guido http://order-order.com/ reports that you are locked up in some mental health asylum, or are you just not giving a shit?

What about that career change, in the event you were no longer needed by the British public to serve your country – I submit by now you understand you are no longer required. You do however draw down a large salary, not as much as Wilt I confess, but at least Wilt “works” for his hard earned dosh. What exactly are you doing you stupid one eyed fucking twat?

Wilt suggests a career move for Gordon – how about (on a voluntary basis – no remuneration or expenses) undertaking a 5000 foot engineering survey of a 4999 foot pier over the Grand Canyon in the good old USA. Warning – no parachutes are allowed on this venture. Wilt is aware however of millions of people who would sponsor you on this great service to UK society, indeed world peace.

Keep taking the tablets Gordon – soon you might like to join forces with dune boy Plaskitt and Mrs C. They too have tablets which are mind changing – in fact LSD has that effect. Bloody brilliant stuff if you want to get “off this world” and live in cloud cuckoo land.

Wilt and Salty Dog prefer cider – a far more sophisticated, Wilt argues, of relaxing.

We are not missing you Gordon – not even a little bit but then you have duties to perform. Where are you Mr Cyclops?
