OK, this is not good: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-13329634 It is similarly reported in the Telegraph who first reported on it: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/8501369/Public-sector-pay-soaring-out-of-control.html

Wilt Portfolio

It is just unacceptable. And of course, who is to blame – fucking Gordon Brown. Grrrrr!

The Tory Government (sorry coalition) need to get this sorted, big time. It is outrageous that any local/central government (sick leave) and gold plated pension lacklustre officer can Lord it over the much hard working and accountable private sector worker – it is a joke not very funny.

Wilt Portfolio

The entire sector of local government should be on a commission only basis, i.e. not providing direct services and commissioning officers on a maximum salary of £20,000 per year, and a Chief Executive on £30,000 per year. The private and third sector (voluntary sector – otherwise private sector by another name) can then determine their own charging.

Wilt

Again Tim Loughton (Children’s Minister) is giving the Courts and adoption agencies a ‘heads up’ that they need to get their act together. Key to his concerns are:

Wilt Portfolio

“I think the courts are too process-driven. There are some cases where very clearly there is no way back to a child’s birth parents and the child is a strong candidate for adoption. Do we need to go through quite as many processes for that child as for another where it is not such a clear cut decision? I think we can use a more proportionate approach in many cases.”

Loughton gives his views in a claimed exclusive interview withy Community Care here: http://www.communitycare.co.uk/Articles/2011/02/23/116332/minister-wants-ombudsman-for-contentious-adoptions.htm

He adds:

“Whenever I speak to adoption services and adoption panels they say their job is being made harder because of court processes and delays: in getting the hearing; in the fact that judges are always asking for that extra expert witness statement and so forth.

“Then I speak to judges and they say adoption panels are taking so long to process paperwork, hold meetings and bring cases back to court. There just seems to be a huge disconnect at the moment.”

Wilt Portfolio

All this is of course with a backdrop to issues of concern over trans-racial placements, or the lack of, due to political correctness among social workers, as reported in the Telegraph:  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/family/8340410/Adoption-shake-up-new-guidelines-will-stop-social-engineering.html

And here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/family/8340280/Adoption-shake-up-the-five-key-points.html

Although it is claimed these are new issues, they are in fact very old, well ingrained and stale issues – there is absolutely nothing new in these assertions by Michael Gove, but he is right to reinforce earlier policy which negates the damaging and irresponsible attitudes of some social workers to hold onto a false and misleading concept of integration of children into families who must (at all costs) reflect a child’s ethnicity.

However, if he feels adoption services are better or at least equally delivered by Voluntary Adoption Agencies (VAA’s) then he must have second and third thoughts, we think.

In this article Community Care report: http://www.communitycare.co.uk/Articles/2011/02/22/116318/government-urges-more-use-of-voluntary-adoption-agencies.htm that the Government urges more use of VAA’s. Do Gove and Loughton really think that will improve matters – some of the worst offenders of political correctness occupy posts in the voluntary sector.

Wilt Portfolio

And to add injury to insult, voluntary agencies (REMEMBER THE WORD VOLUNTARY) charge such massive fees as set out by BAAF (British Association for Adoption & Fostering) http://www.baaf.org.uk/ to the tune of £20,640 + £3,440 to cover a package of post-adoption services for each child placed. That is £24K per child, and more if it involves London based agencies. See the BAAF list of charges here: http://www.baaf.org.uk/webfm_send/2108

A VOLUNTARY ADOPTION AGENCY charging fees to a local authority? Is Wilt confused or do these people obtain grants and pay executives massive salaries, or what? These are not voluntary agencies but a private business masquerading as voluntary agencies – they have a mantra, as described by BAAF themselves as “Every Child Deserves a Family.”

Mmmmmmm, yes at a cost and profit to the voluntary agencies.

Not infrequently Wilt undertakes kinship or otherwise general assessments of prospective adopters and foster carers, at a fraction of the cost, normally within the region of £3500 – £4000.00.  How is then possible for voluntary agencies need to charge £24K?

So Mssrs Gove and Loughton – think on mates. Costs and political correctness? Who do you think runs the national adoption register? Well, it is of course BAAF who also set the national inter-agency fees for inter-agency placements.

Is there a conflict of interest here?

In Big Society Terms there needs to be a root and branch review of what is the distinction between so called VOLUNTARY agencies and effectively private business – and not just their tax breaks.

Wilt Portfolio

This is a long article – but read on, as it is worthwhile we humbly submit. Above all it gives a two finger salute to those who attempt to curtail freedom of speech.

It has been a little while since we turned our attention to the subject of Calleja, that Elizabeth of Leamington Spa. After her arrest last year for suspected harassment Wilt et al reflected on her character.

Wilt Portfolio

She remains a regular visitor to Regulator Watch via her T-Mobile Android driven and Safari web browser on the tiny screen of her mobile phone – she appears to believe her activity by such media is undetectable or not permanently recorded both on her device and by the Regulator Watch “sniffer” programme to monitor access to the website. No such luck Elizabeth – your every click is recorded, by us and T-Mobile.

Whereas Elizabeth was not ultimately charged with any offence and released from bail, the arrest, we think, had a definite impact on her activity – Wilt has received reports that (due to bail conditions) she did not access the websites of those companies who brought the police complaint against her, for the full period of her three month bail. She has on a couple of occasion’s accessed one company (complainant) website post release from bail.

Probably for the second time ever, Calleja was on the back foot – it was she who was under scrutiny and despite her efforts to achieve the same it was not those who she complained about but in fact her who was arrested. The police were in fact rather annoyed that this “crying wolf” Calleja was an utter menace and distraction from the real and vital crimes that police forces try to address daily. This is not a dissimilar position adopted by the former CSCI (Commission for Social Care Inspection) who, were to their credit, the first to take on the task of dismantling the Calleja/Plaskitt mythology of “victimisation.”

Plaskitt is the former Labour MP for Warwick & Leamington Spa. You can find details here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Plaskitt or upcoming http://www.jamesplaskitt.com/ – the latter is reserved and we can only assume the twat has something in mind. Perhaps photographs of dunes!?

James Plaskitt - Wikepedia

Police “forces” is used in the plural because it was not just West Mercia Police but also several other police forces that were in receipt of complaints – Calleja will and has made multiple complaints on the same “stale” issues to numerous agencies.

The list of agencies Calleja has complained to is far too numerous to mention (they run into the dozens) in her near 11 year campaign to, what she/Plaskitt term as an effort to clear her name, to attack the character of others – the classic “attack is the best defence” approach which she and idiot Plaskitt (now ex-MP) undertook in a rather underhand way.

Wilt Portfolio

Quite a number of agencies were initially taken in by this nun with a switchblade and took up her cause in the mistaken belief that Calleja, aided and abetted by former MP Plaskitt, was a victim of the big bad system. These were her high points. Some of it was captured in the CSCI Internal Review Report here: http://regulatorwatch.co.uk/2009/11/csci-internal-review-report/ and thereafter her demise was assured. Well done CSCI.

Come the general election in 2010 (when Plaskitt lost his Parliamentary seat) Calleja was on her own, most agencies had realised she was simply “vexatious“(including even the GSCC) and her reputation with the said dozens of agencies was in disarray.

After her arrest in 2010 she focused her switchblade, very nun like, on Regulator Watch which has, among other matters, reported the alternative and more truthful story of Calleja – she had begun the process by reporting her (false) woes to the press herself, aided and abetted by former MP Plaskitt in both the House of Commons and the press. She made herself public, her cause public and seriously discredited others very publicly – is it therefore a surprise that others defend themselves publicly via Regulator Watch?

Plaskitt it appears, as some describe him, been a “poodle” or “lap dog” of the woman, forever doing her bidding.  Calleja, otherwise known as Mrs Fax (given the volumes of data sent by fax to numerous bodies), became more and more isolated and considered by many agencies as suffering some kind of illness.

Why otherwise would she harass so many over so many years? Munchausen’s Syndrome was once proposed and remains a significant contender but Wilt et al have another theory, too.

The demise of Plaskitt (who lost his Parliamentary seat) was a significant loss to Calleja – the “poodle” no longer had a voice, safe within the protected confines of the lower House. He also needed to take a low profile due to his dodgy MP’s expenses, especially his £400 per month (no questions asked) food bill, among other claims on expenses. If only Wilt (and most of the world) had £400 per month for food, without receipts – world hunger would be solved, surely?

There is a considerable body of belief that Calleja “is just simply evil” – she was fully aware of the damage she did to the reputations of others and the distress that caused, but that explanation does not exclude the impressions of others who state that “Munchausen’s Syndrome” or indeed simple “Narcissism” also play a part in the makeup of this complex woman – this is the consequence of having psychiatrists, psychologists and religious people on the board of Regulator Watch.

Wikipedia

See an article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissism and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_personality_disorder – if reading these you are looking into a mirror, do not blame Wilt, especially if your name is Elisabeth.

Being a pure “evil” person argument is a strong contender – Calleja was intent upon doing the maximum harm to her victims. This does not of course exclude simple mental health problems. “I want this agency de-registered” (or words to that effect) or this and that person de-registered from the GSCC suggests a vengeful and disproportionate attitude especially when it carries on a decade after her perceived abuse of her by others – abuse which all evidence indicates never really took place, although she did as a foster parent suffer some mild maladministration by a local authority (Northamptonshire – see the CSCI Internal Review Report).

Such efforts at revenge never stopped her after it was conclusively determined that the CSCI/GSCC/Police/Information Commissioner could find no grounded cause of complaint – she simply regarded those agencies as complicit in her “paranoid” view that there was a conspiracy, and thus she was even more embolden.

Wilt Portfolio

“Paranoid” is one thing, “Munchausen’s Syndrome” is another – that remains a virtual certainty. However how about Calleja being a Narcissist? Well, the combined thoughts of the experts seem to agree at least on this description of the nun with a switchblade – a term coined to describe Julie Andrews of The Sound of Music acting fame who was, it is suggested, “a bit of a bully.”

This assessed Narcissist – Elizabeth – fits every description of that mirror admiring Greek mythological figure. Indeed she would surpass the fame of that classical body that ultimately became a disgrace both in life and death. She does live in infamy and a warning to mankind in terms of “selfishness”, but Calleja will leave no legacy, other than the compensations awarded to her victims. And those compensations were rather generous!

Wilt

If Brick http://wallofbrick.wordpress.com/2010/08/09/monro-review-second-act/ believes that the Children Act 1989 was ever or is, as claimed, a “charter for children” then they are barking up the wrong wall.

The Act was a very effective charter for lawyers, Guardians and experts. Within a very short period of time court cases were taking up to two years to complete. I certainly share the concern that local authorities should not be allowed to practice unfettered but then neither should social workers be permitted to ignore policies nor Guardians think they know better than anyone else what constitutes best practice.

And it was nowhere near as bad as suggested by Brick pre the 1989 Act (implemented on 14^th October 1991) – Wilt remembers those days too.

The fact is, lawyers got to be very greedy, some Guardians (some with little clue or even less competence) loved and love playing the prima donna of the Court corridors and interfered in casework they sometimes could not understand (let alone practice) – experts instructed by the cartload were set loose and who in some instances actually told one very little or what was already known.

There was frequently no ‘added value’ to best outcomes for children and the poor social worker from the local authority was diminished to the wicked witch of all points of the compass. Playing with children’s lives in this way is dangerous and certainly not giving paramount concern to the welfare of the child.

Promoting justice and it being seen that justice is done does not need to look like this. Suggesting that money is no obstacle within the justice system is tantamount to contempt of the taxpayer.

I have a lot of time for Brick and the blog Wall (http://wallofbrick.wordpress.com/) – its author is well experienced and very eloquent on subjects Wilt feels strongly about. Occasionally the postings cause some great laughter and joy. However, the Act has not worked and it needs serious reforming and to suggest that it is all because Guardians are being fettered or that the Courts are being restricted because of budgets is pure folly. The fact is, Guardians have been too often a part of the problem – not the solution or silver bullet.

And how does Wilt know all this? Well he is an expert witness and has been for many a year; he too is a Guardian and had a former senior management role within social work for longer than he cares to remember – he is also a tribunal chairman in a related field. He has observed the effects of the Children Act therefore from many an angle and perspective. That does not necessarily make Wilt ‘right’ in his opinions but it certainly is not opinion based on lack of experience.

Of course social workers are experts – the fact that they represent the applicant in court proceedings does not diminish that status and are entitled to stand on an equal footing as any other expert, or Guardian – they are just another expert and not as some Guardians mistakenly believe some kind of ‘super’ social worker wearing their underwear over their tights.

When Wilt acts as a Guardian he is, as with other Guardians, frequently consulted by children’s social workers. Wilt has a ‘contract’ with social worker’s that is shaped broadly thus:

i)  You [social worker] are the expert until it is shown otherwise;

ii) I am happy to be consulted but I will not be your supervisor;

iii) I will not attempt to case manage the child’s case;

iv) We will treat each other with mutual respect and recognise and respect our different roles;

v) We are all duty bound to hold the needs of the child as paramount;

vi) As I consider you an expert, do not propose instructing another expert on matters that are perfectly within your competence/resources to complete yourself; we must minimise costs and delay;

vii) When completing your written assessment not only should you demonstrate competence but also fairness to avoid the appearance of bias;

viii) This Guardian does not wear his knickers over his tights or have any super human qualities – he too was once a social worker.

Generally, the above understanding leads to reasonably stress free relations. It sets the social workers mind at rest that the Guardian is not ‘off planet’ waiting to invade and sets them free to get on with what they do best – social work. It also creates opportunity for dialogue and debate, and if it comes to it, permission to disagree or arrive at differing views of settling (disposal) the matter at Court.

Unfortunately not all Guardians take that approach – they do wear their knickers over their tights and are simply social workers who not ‘hack it’ in frontline practice. Some others are just simply not of this world and yet others are the prima donna who love sitting around for hours on end in the Court at huge expense to the public purse but to the benefit of their own bulging purse.

It aint as simple as Brick might have you believe – but he/she is an expert too and can have an opinion, just like that fresh faced social worker from the local authority.

It is for certain there are some Dork social workers – you only need to look at the GSCC files to determine that. There are in proportional terms, take my word for it, far more Dork Guardians, lawyers and experts but they are far less scrutinised or evaluated.

Things really have to change – throwing money (we do not have) at the problem is not the answer.

Brick gets 9 out of ten for composition and language skills, 10 out of 10 for spelling but only 4 out of 10 for his/her reasoning and concluding the solution to the test. A good effort but s/he needs to try harder.

Wilt

I do like this chap (Martin Narey) at Barnardo’s – indeed we like the charity; definitely one of the better ones, in Wilt’s opinion.

However he is a little ‘come lately’ on this subject matter: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-10908026

There is a further article here: http://www.communitycare.co.uk/Articles/2010/08/09/115067/children-harmed-by-long-delays-in-family-courts-charity-finds.htm

Wit and others predicted this situation (delays) pre the implementation of the Children Act 1989 – Wilt recalls implementation day on 14^th October 1991; it is etched in his memory. It was a well intentioned Act but by the mid 1990’s it was very, very apparent that it was failing in one of its primary concerns – that delay in making decisions on solutions for children was harmful.

And why?

Well, it is simple – the Act was hailed as the “children’s charter” but it was everything but giving, in practice, ‘paramount’ concern for the child. It transpired a lucrative avenue of income source, in order, for:

i)             Lawyers (especially for parents)

ii)            Children’s Guardians (and their lawyers)

iii)           Expert witnesses who seemed to grow out of the walls

One could not move for lawyers (some simple “fee earners”), Guardians (some of limited credibility and less competence) and so called ‘Experts.’ Some of the experts appeared to be close friends or even relatives or business partners of the Guardian.

And where was the child in all this?

“Who the fuck is the child” we hear cried – “what does it have to do with them” it is exclaimed!”

So, Barnardo’s, where were you in 1995 – its 2010 (15 years later) and you now complain?

A bit late, me thinks but your observations are belatedly welcome.

Wilt

Worcestershire social services were at one time among the best of places to work and the management and professionalism were highly regarded. So either Ofsted have got it wrong (which is always a distinct possibility) in this Community Care article http://www.communitycare.co.uk/Articles/2010/08/05/115045/progress-at-worcestershire-childrens-services-limited.htm or things are getting really bad.

It is true of other places that Wilt comes across on his travels. Previously highly regarded local authority social services are really struggling to the point of near collapse.

Of course budget stress, staffing levels and the surge in referrals following Baby P are all factors coming into play. Wilt is not convinced that it is always or necessarily common place that staffing compliments are too low, it is certainly not pay levels (social workers earn far more than Wilt ever did even when he was a team leader many moons ago) nor is it lack of commitment from individuals.

It is to do with staff vacancy levels, how teams are organised and because in part social work core services are run by local authorities – whether it could ever be fully achieved is open to debate, but both the private and voluntary (private by any other description) sectors need to take over via outsourcing. All local authorities should do is ‘commission’ services. That has begun to some extent in terms of setting up ‘looked after’ children’s team pilots – not a resounding success in Sandwell, but then it is Sandwell. What would you expect?

What is there to stop outsourcing things such as child protection? The private sector culture of reducing waste, focusing on achievable results, minimal bureaucracy, trying new ways of working and sensible employment practices gives them the edge over local authorities who are cumbersome and slow to change, for a variety of reasons.

For example, in the private sector if someone is not up to the job, they are either encouraged to leave or if not sacked – unlike their local authority counterpart who would first go of sick for six months on full pay, a further six months half-pay and could end up (at huge expense to the taxpayer) achieving early retirement or taken to tribunal for something or other and potentially end up paying out compensation (also at great expense to Wilt and others pockets).

We think we will drop a line to our man Eric Pickles (Communities Secretary)  and David (call me Dave) Cameron – the “big society thing” but in Wilt’s version with bells and whistles.

Wilt

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.

Wilt

You see, Gove has not forgotten us – not just yet anyway: http://www.communitycare.co.uk/Articles/2010/06/03/114637/gove-promises-support-for-taskforce-recommendations.htm

I aint too sure however that Community Care can be so assertive as they are in this advice: http://www.communitycare.co.uk/Articles/2010/06/03/114638/q-and-a-what-does-the-national-college-mean-for-social-workers.htm that the Social Work College could not become the Regulator to replace the GSCC (http://www.gscc.org.uk/Home/).

The article was written before the abolition of the General Teaching Council for England (http://www.gtce.org.uk/ ) by Mr Gove and as set out by the GTCE in their press release: http://www.gtce.org.uk/media_parliament/news_comment/gtcabolition0610/

The Regulation and Registration function of the GTCE will be assumed by some other body, so the General Social Care Council is not yet in the clear. If the teaching council can be abolished, so can the social work equivalent.

It is not true that all professions have a separate “college” or membership group from the regulatory and disciplinary functions. What exactly is the conflict in one single organisation promoting and supporting professionals whilst also investigating serious complaints? In my mind the two fit together snugly.

The options are however wide open – albeit to be fair the GSCC of late (under new leadership) appears to be getting its act together a bit more. However the trail of absolute disasters it has left behind through utter incompetence (and having been placed under special measures) has left few if any believing that the organisation is anything other an embarrassment.

My prediction – they will go too and their function of Registration will go somewhere else. There are too many of these Regulators and there is both an economy of scale and similar role and function argument in favour of mergers.

Time will tell……………

Wilt

ps: The same arguments and observations go for the SSSC, CCW and NISCC – however they are outside of the English jurisdiction and will determine their own futures.

Happy birthday Regulator Watch – you are one year old.

On 14^th May 2009 Regulator Watch went live and is now a worldwide phenomenon with a hoard of regular readers, contributors and stalkers. Of course our number one fan is Mrs C from her hovel in Warwickshire together with her numerous entourage of people to whom she complains – the list is far too long and boring.

Wilt having recently made his epic sail from the Mediterranean to the shores of his homeland is back and has gathered much information from Malta. It’s enough to make an old Templar cry in laughter. Much fun will be had. Not so much as lost or stolen files as brand new files – that should get the Information Commissioner and a poor harassed constable of Banbury a phone call. Shiver me timbers mates, the Wilt is back yet again from his sojourn. More travel (business) is on the near horizon, although this time via tarmac and airports as distinct from choppy seas. There might just be a few Salty Dog trips to North Wales – you bet there will.

But what a year Regulator Watch has seen – it has created a bit of a stir among the regulators in social care, the social care press and the press as a whole. Not to mention interest from some political figures and the like minded reasonable thinking people of the Wilt age i.e. sceptical friends of social care (like a critical friend). The police have had complaints (at least two police forces) from Mrs C (bless her), as have the GSCC and a host of other quango and government agencies. A huge fan has of course been James (The Dunes) Plaskitt, now a former MP of Warwick and Leamington Spa, and those he enlisted in his support – various Ministers, Ofsted and the Information Commissioner. All in an effort to close down Regulator Watch and find out who this dreaded Wilt is – they think they know who he is but it is belly breaking with laughter to keep them guessing. It is even more amusing, to Wilt at least, to know that in this hide and seek game that they are nowhere near warm, let alone hot.

It is of course very odd, in fact absolutely crass and indefensible, that on the one hand Mrs C and Dork Plaskitt try to gag Wilt whilst Mrs C breaches every aspect of confidentiality at will and Plaskitt attempted to exclude MPs from FOI requests – fucking brilliant. In true “1984” style this pair wanted to rewrite history and prevent any dissent or opposition. Now in the case of Mrs C she can be understood, she is a simple minded plebeian, but Plaskitt read PPE at Oxford – he must have missed the lectures on democracy.  Fucking Dorks, the pair of them – George Orwell will be laughing in his grave and saying “I told you.” Not that I am suggesting that Mrs C and Plaskitt are Mr and Mrs Stalin – well actually, I am!

And how UK politics have changed – apart from the decimation of Plaskitt! Gordon the Cyclops has gone after tearing out his fingernails hanging onto his desk, Ed the Ferkin Balls is a “has been” (but still an evil looking/acting bastard) and “Dave” the man is farting in the same place where Gordon frequently experienced dysentery – the Number 10 PMs private bathroom. It is rumoured that the party manifesto is used as a bog role!  We have hopes for Dave, after all he got our vote, and our local Conservative MP reckons that this coalition will result in real change.

We can but hope.

The year ahead is going to be very choppy – not only in wave action terms but also in CUTS. Big CUTS! We approve.  Big government (Whitehall/quango) will suffer immense trauma and just several hundred thousands of people will be looking for “real” jobs – you know, like earning a living.  No huge pay offs, a few quid and here is your P45. Oh, and don’t bother attempting to claim dole money cos you will effectively sign up to a contract of doing community work – Wilt needs his lawns, flower borders and fish pond tending to, and a few paint jobs. He will even let you clean his 3 cars. These (so called “employed”) scroungers will become nothing more than the drug taking alcoholics they think themselves to be above – they will all become very reliant on the decreasing state subsidies of other scroungers and beggars, notwithstanding “Cyclops” created a whole host of decent people unemployed through no fault in their work ethic.

And it will not just be Whitehall/quango. Hello local government – the smile is about to be wiped from your face.  A cut of 30% (in numerous places around the UK) will result in major job losses too. Again, we approve. Wilt is not aware of any local authority that will not make cuts in the range of 10 to 20%.

Business, including that of Wilt’s will boom for sure. Gone will be the influx of cheap labour from abroad as the increasing domestic workforce market “gets real” in terms of available options and enterprise flourishes – no longer the Albanian weekly car wash and more like the Swindon Cooperative of Ex-Government Employees Franchise Car Wash. So that these nice Whitehall and quango people fully understand, the current (Albanian) cost of a complete valet of a car is £10 (less the charitable on-cost for pension fund), is usually involving 3 persons, it takes about 30 minutes and they smile. OK they (Albanians) sleep 15 to a room (Gawd the smell must be awful) and might get pissed (for US readers – drunk) on occasion, and at which times lock up your daughters and sons, but you know, it is their choice and for them at least it provides a means to a living.  They certainly provide a service which I will pay for, and do so weekly. How then will our domestic workforce respond in the light of a choice between jobs/enterprise and a reduction in benefits?

We will see.

Anyway, it’s party time and I have to go blow out the candle on the birthday cake.

Wilt

A certain Mr White (Conservative) of Warwick who is fighting the Plaskitt (Labour) seat of Warwick and Leamington is sniffing victory, and so he should. His website is here:

http://www.conservatives.com/People/Prospective_Parliamentary_Candidates/White_Chris.aspx

And here: http://www.chriswhiteforchange.com/

You see Mr White is fighting the number 7 (seven) most marginal Labour seats in the UK as set out here: http://www.justsolutions.eu/Marginals/labMarginals.asp with Plaskitt (Dune Boy) only holding a majority of 266 votes – given the demise of Mrs C or at least her fickle charms and alliances, that is likely to reduce to 265. Even Plaskitt is disposable to her.

However, boundary changes in Warwickshire means that Plaskitt’s “notional” majority has risen to 5000! Another Labour conspiracy, me thinks. Nevertheless old one eyed Brown, our inglorious leader soon to become a voluntary worker if the election does not favour him (in other words cut and run), was visiting Warwick and Leamington today with arse licking Plaskitt at his side – Gawd Plaskitt was looking old and grey (probably too much effort in the Dunes).

And, if his “notional” majority is 5000, why did Gordon the Cyclops need to visit the constituency? Perhaps Sarah Brown needs to investigate if Gordon and James have a common interest in sand dunes! Or perhaps, as bloggers in Warwickshire predict, Plaskitt will be toast come Friday.

The most recent poll of marginal seats by the Telegraph (and it is comprehensive) is here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/election-2010/7674796/General-Election-2010-David-Cameron-needs-just-14-more-seats.html

And it aint very happy looking for Labour or in particular Dune Boy and his fellow cronies! Oh dear!

As stated in the Telegraph article:

“The Crosby/Textor poll questioned voters in 140 marginal seats held by Labour and 20 held by the Lib Dems. Overall, it put the Conservatives on 38 per cent, Labour on 31 per cent and the Lib Dems on 26 per cent. In the most marginal Labour seats, there has been a 7.5 percentage point swing from Labour to the Conservatives, it suggested. If this swing occurred uniformly in the Labour-Conservative marginals, Mr Cameron would seize 103 Labour-held seats.”

Plaskitt must be at the point of relaxing in the knowledge that come Friday this week he will be writing his memoirs – of life in the Dunes and other “exploits, mostly failed, like helping Mrs C, sorting out the Child Care Agency and introducing lie detector technology for benefit claimants.

And of course, shortly after his defeat, Mrs C can only ever have dreams of exploiting her falsehoods of oppression before the bright dawn of having to do a real days work – it is called earning a living, in fact it is called foster care.

A new dawn, a new woman – we doubt it.

There will however be a new order. It is called reality, and that will not be liked by Mrs C who will become even more profiled than she has been to date. Her true profile will emerge from the recess of that stone piled on a lump of cow dung.

Plaskitt will of course be well gone, will not give a “dung” and will make every effort to make more money in some other venture – for sure it will not involve him in anything potentially damaging like writing or mouthing off stuff to the press in support of Mrs C. Nor will he bully Ofsted (stupid twats), the DoH (even more stupid twats) or the Information Commissioner (utter Dorks), and least of all various quango – many quango in a (virtually certain) Conservative led Government will simply go up in a puff of smoke; all Local and Central Government agencies will be decimated beyond any hope of recovery – where will Mrs C feature in this? I leave it to you to consider further.

That will happen even if Plaskitt is re-elected; indeed it will happen whatever Government are in power – so Mrs C has no fucking hope at all, however it turns out.

Meanwhile, Wilt and Salty Dog will have an excellent life, well earned, as will our friend in Salop and his friends in Oxon with their nice houses, cars, holiday homes and huge, again well earned, incomes – even in semi-retirement. One works hard for those things – they are not achieved through claiming off the state or paying over the odds taxes for, in Cameron terms, big Government with little better to do than support Mrs C and other idiots like Ofsted and the GSCC.

There will of course, whoever wins this election be casualties – but I mean real casualties and not sham ones like Plaskitt and Mrs C, the twat quango or lost souls in central and local government. You know, like real workers. The UK will recover, despite Gordon Brown, but some will simply not – we suspect Mrs C has no exit plan, yet!

But she is versatile; she must be given that accolade. File Doctor can attest to that and various other contributors to Regulator Watch.

Wilt (with other conspirators)

PS: our mate in Salop said he had seen the Cyclops in Telford with that fool David Wright – it seems his so called safe seat is in need of a “boost” from Gordon too. Kiss of death if you ask me!

Wright was the MP who attempted to claim on expenses a new Phillips razor (TWAT) but  successfully received near on £17000.00 to sell his reduced rent tenancy for his London abode and then went on to rent somewhere else at commercial rates at the taxpayer expense – fucking tea leaf!  Has he repaid? He claims he has paid something back but has not disclosed how much.

And of course he had the necessary new wide screen flat panel TV and a whole host of other personal items that will now adorn his Telford home. Of course Mr Wright will not be on his own in that respect, eh Mr (new bathroom) Plaskitt! How much money will he be paying back on his mortgaged London home, we wonder?
