Tomorrow is the budget – it should be “X rated for local authority and civil servants aged below 55. Aged 55 and above they may escape the worst but below that age several hundred of thousands need to start updating their CVs.

Beyond the “Laws” (another Twat) and his successor initial cuts, this budget will slash government spending (local and central) very succinctly as “we are all in this together.” And that is just a start! Next, the pensions, expenses and especially the service conditions of public servants will be targeted.

And Bob Crow says we will “strike.” OK – even more savings. We just love it.

Wilt has delayed his return home/office by at least a day so that he can listen to Osborne deliver his budget on Tuesday – the accountants and financial advisers will be on line to take instructions on moving, shaking and baking assets and taking otherwise wise actions. That is better done here in north Wales rather than having Mrs Wilt distract me by her shapely focused mind – now you thought I was going o say something else. Shame on you.

Our friends at the GSCC are on a quarterly budget – I agree with June Thoburn in this article: http://www.communitycare.co.uk/Articles/2010/06/21/114757/government-increases-gscc-budget-to-pay-for-conduct-cases.htm that this is a signal to the GSCC that they are about to be downsized, reframed in scope or even abolished. We remain of the view it will be the latter.

Denise Platt (Twat) formerly of the CSCI (Commission for Social Care Inspection) makes a non statement as usual – she always to Wilt looks a little worse for that late night cider that she should have not poured down her gullet. She was of course the Chairman of the CSCI during the Mrs C and Plaskitt “wars” and signed off those cheques to those people they (CSCI) failed – hence her drink problem is understood, especially as she enjoys the same cider as Wilt and Salty Dog.

The GSCC seem to be doing OK of late – they too have got rid of Mrs C and Plaskitt. That must be a major resource saving.

The head of Ofsted, Christine Gilbert, has offered to leave early – what does she want, a Scottish Piper? Get on with it woman! See article here: http://www.communitycare.co.uk/Articles/2010/06/21/114761/ofsted-chief-will-step-down-early-if-helpful-to-government.htm

There is a further blog comment here: http://www.communitycare.co.uk/blogs/childrens-services-blog/2010/06/ofsted-chief-christine-gilbert-given-marching-orders-by-gove.html

We suspect she is waiting for a golden goodbye handshake – if Gove gives her one he needs having his bollocks removed with a blunt knife. If Sharon Shoesmith (ex of Haringey) can be sacked with loss of benefits, so can Gilbert. And that would seem to Wilt to be poetic justice.

Remember, this woman gets paid more than David Cameron. She has fucked up, just get rid of her.

Boy, I thought my blog was a bit risky but this one http://nameshamesocialworkers.blogspot.com/2008/08/shame-your-social-worker.html?commentPage=16 takes the biscuit.

Sadly, it is not the only one that promotes the hate of social workers, Guardians, Experts and Judges. Amazingly it is supported by that icon of intellect, justice and Parliamentary stupidity, John Hemming:  http://johnhemming.blogspot.com/

This is the MP that promulgates the outrageous theory that social workers kidnap children to achieve Government adoption targets. There are several other “hate” social worker websites/blogs – you find them yourself. I was not aware of this one http://nameshamesocialworkers.blogspot.com/ which was highlighted by bloggers on community care: http://www.communitycare.co.uk/carespace/forums/abuse-of-baby-snatcher-social-workers-finds-an-7792.aspx#31586 with reference to an article in the Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2010/mar/24/social-worker-abuse-online

Twat Hemming just does not get it. Fucking idiot – not unlike the former MP Plaskitt.

Wilt

Hello from from Gibralter – next stop Portugal (somewhere), then Atlantic France before the final leg to the UK and home port.

We will try to be keeping up with the news and posting anything interesting.

Wilt

Who the fuck is Mike McNabb (long haired git) and Paul Wiffen (UKIP twat) candidate? Do we give a shit? NO!

See here: http://www.communitycare.co.uk/Articles/2010/04/02/114218/ukip-chief-suspended-over-racist-rant-on-community-care.htm

Long hair –v- short hair………..

Dorks both…

Wilt

This Hilton Dawson bloke is now pissing me off.

Quite apart from being a self evident Dork over the Social Work College debacle he now wants tax the public to fund the registration fees of social workers, even if the fee doubles under the new proposed General Social Work Council (GSWC), see here: http://www.communitycare.co.uk/Articles/2010/04/06/114225/self-funding-gscc-would-send-registration-fees-soaring.htm

And what exactly would his proposal be for small business enterprise (like Wilt) and the self employed? Who would pay their fees?

Has the firkin idiot not understood the meaning of budget cuts, recession or deficit? Which bit did he miss of “NO” to further public expenditure? He is however a former LABOUR MP. Obviously the drinking water at planet BASW HQ has been infected with some mind-bending drug, or he has otherwise had too much of the falling down water (alcohol).

What is worse, the GSCC agree with him:

“Hilary Tompsett, newly-appointed vice-chair of the GSCC, said it would make sense to review pay scales when the regulation of social workers was reformed.”

That settles it then! We know the GSCC are twats and thus it follows, as sure as day follows night that Dawson is one too. The GSCC adds:

“A spokesperson for the GSCC said the government’s proposal could lead to increases in the registration fees after 2010-11, but added: “Before we make any changes we will consult with social workers.”

That makes all OK then! Yeah.

I fucking give up!

And, as if BASW (or Dawson) need any further ridicule their negotiations [inept dealings] with SCIE is a puzzle. Why for Gawd sake is SCIE “negotiating” [even discussing] with BASW (Dawson) when it is quite obvious given the resignations from BASW that within its ranks there remain (or did) some sensible outspoken individuals – Wilt is certain the membership will reject this stupid and self-indulgent effort on the part of BASW to set up a separate College (Royal or not).

See the article here: http://www.communitycare.co.uk/Articles/2010/04/06/114220/basw-accused-of-trying-to-subvert-college-agenda.htm

BASW is, was, will be a “has been.”  Why fucking bother recognising them let alone discussing issues of substance – BASW are a non entity. A dead parrot, a former Plasakitt MP and Mrs C.

It is quite clear that The College of Social Work have utterly rejected BASW, see here: http://www.collegeofsocialwork.org/mediareleases/30032010.asp

What a fucking mess.

Muse on this too: http://www.communitycare.co.uk/blogs/mental-health/2010/04/one-off-tragedies-shouldnt-def.html

OK it is the Telegraph (not exactly social care friendly) and as yet there is no SCR completed, but the reporting of this further death of a child from alleged neglect is not going to help the retention of social workers.

See the report here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/7430464/Parents-plead-guilty-to-neglecting-girl-found-hanged-in-her-bedroom.html

Social care is going to need some very serious attention after the election.

Wilt (with head in hands)

Mrs Wilt took it upon herself to have a £30,000 new fitted kitchen – OK we can afford it. All new floor/wall tiles together with (all marble throughout) unit top’s set off by solid oak bespoke kitchen units – and I do not mean just the front doors!

New lighting too – in fact enough to serve Heathrow runway (s)!

Oh and of course there are those top of the range German (Yuk – would prefer British) cooker hoods, oven(s), hob(s) and sink unit(s) fitted (huge) fridge freezer and dish washer(s).  It all looks very good on the design our LOCAL small business people/fitters have supplied – and I think they will produce an excellent product. GO LOCAL – keep it British as far as you can.

And we thought; whilst we are at it, let’s replace the central heating boiler too.

All the old stuff, well we will have it recycled into the garage – a second kitchen cum laundry – even more for the cleaner to keep spick and span.

In the mean time I am ferkin freezing.

What I never realized (but should have) was the whole of the gas supply would be disconnected – hence no heat.

I and Salty Dog are cuddling up in bed trying to retain some warmth. All the banging, cutting, drilling etc however prevents any effort at even snoozing – by tomorrow night the central heating should be back on and, courtesy of the boiler scrappage scheme we get £400 off the cost – thank you. See: http://www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/Home-improvements-and-products/Heating-and-hot-water/Boiler-Scrappage-Scheme

And you know the odd thing is, neither Mrs Wilt or yours truly really actually cook – it will however have a nice (fitted) new microwave too.

How many households do you know of that have two washing machines, tumble dryer, two fridge freezers, two dishwashers and three fitted 1.5 sink units?  Not to mention various ovens and hobs and microwaves. Salty Dog will be busy doing the washing and ironing, loading and unloading the dishwasher and doing the cooking.

It is a good dog, very cuddly and warm too – however it needs some better under arm deodorant, and some possible better toothpaste to improve dental hygiene.

Mind you, that is what Mrs Wilt says about Wilt. (grrrrr). It comes of using toothpaste under my arms and swilling my mouth with cider – did I get that wrong?

Perhaps we can move Ms or Master Wilt into the garage – now that is a good idea!

Next projects the granny flat extension and the loft conversion and finally the atrium – cosy.

Wilt (meanwhile sneezing)

The Romans had a process known as decimation for ineffective or mutinous soldiers where one in 10 would be culled. It tended to focus the minds of the troops!

Well, that is what is happening in local authorities up and down the land – and it aint all bad despite what the unions and others might say. My political friends have talked not only about 5, 10 – 20% budget cuts but also 30 % cuts over a two to three year cycle, and although these are extreme they do reflect the bloody mess of the economy and they confirm there is some scope for efficiency savings – especially in Chief Executive offices, middle and senior management.

See the BBC article here:  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8528836.stm

It will mean massive outsourcing of services too.

And of course it will not be just local authorities – central government and especially quangos will find themselves either no longer existing or very much reduced in size. There will be a lot of squealing as the knife hovers over the throats of those bloated tax revenue over resourced and unaffordable government workers with excessive holiday, sick leave and pension perks.

It is what Tony Blair aimed for but which Gordon Brown has consistently undermined in favour of putting more and more tax money into public (sic) services. Now even he is squealing infamy, infamy, they have all got it in for me – actually it’s called reality.

The Telegraph has this take on the matter:   http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/jobs/7337946/Worst-round-of-council-job-losses-for-a-generation-with-25000-predicted-to-go.html

Less tax for Wilt, more outsourced work and a significant fewer are holes claiming outrageous expenses.

Excellent!

And with fewer quango and even less government bloated toads, where on earth will Mrs C go? Whose ear will she be able to bend? Who the hell will have time to deal with her stupid, self-serving and distorted, unnecessary concerns? Not that they give a shit anyway.

And of course Plaskitt lad will be off on other equally personal wealth producing scams and can rightly, and no doubt relieved, relinquish his commitment to “his constituent” as he hands over to a new member of parliament.

The new potential incumbent is well versed in the Mrs C case matter.
