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.

Wilt

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.

Wilt

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 28^th 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.

Wilt

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 29^th 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

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.

Wilt

While some friends of Wilt are off to the near East for a long sojourn (for a month no less) Mr & Mrs Wilt are away shortly to the Channel Islands for a week and later (September) also with Ms Wilt back to Egypt – but not, I emphasise, Cairo.

Not after this last experience: http://regulatorwatch.co.uk/2010/07/virgin%E2%80%9D-on-the-ridiculous/

The Channel Islands are a new adventure for the Wilts. Egypt is not. While in Egypt Mrs and Ms Wilt no doubt be listening to their Ipods whilst roasting in the sun. Wilt will be in the shade, with a beer and a book.

Master Wilt will be chasing after his rather glamorous new girlfriend back at Oxbridge.

Even in mid-September it is 38c (100.4f) in Egypt. This time, we plan less sightseeing and more a relaxing time around the pool with lots of Egyptian beer – what they call beer. No cider, unfortunately and Salty Dog will be residing with mother in law for the duration – no cider there either.

Poor Salty Dog!

Another superior hotel, albeit not quite up to the Four Seasons standard in Cairo, awaits the Wilts – we have been there before and the standards and service are better than any in the UK, and indeed in the US. The pool (s) with its own “island” bar is brilliant – get drunk, fall off the stool and hopefully not drown!

There are no lifeguards.

And the gardens are absolute bliss. It shares it with its sister 5 star hotel, probably the most famous of hotels in Egypt – and about the most expensive. Yet we get to use those facilities too, if you care to spend huge amounts on a meal or on drinks on the terrace overlooking one of the best sunsets in the world.

Otherwise, you pop down the road to a restaurant and pay £5 a head for a perfectly good two course evening meal with (soft) drinks. Yes, I did say £5.00 – no joking. Egypt is so cheap, if you know the right places, as to be ridiculous.

Egyptian wine – well that is a bit of a sad story. Once when Wilt was on a Nile Cruise there was a competition and the first prize was one bottle of Egyptian wine and the second prize two bottles of Egyptian wine – even the Egyptians admit it is crap. So avoid it unless you have a serious alcohol problem.

The trouble with Egypt is that there is no reliable supply of UK newspapers – never mind, we have free Wi-Fi and with the trusty laptop Wilt et al can keep up to date. I wonder if it works around the poolside – indeed is the laptop waterproof?

We will find out.

Now all we need is a few pair of shorts, sandals, t-shirts, passport, laptop, shades and a few good books. Come September, even with the Chanel Island break, Wilt et al will be very ready for some simple relaxation.

Oh, and we avoided Egyptair to get there and back – thank Gawd!

Meanwhile however Wilt has several other trips overseas for business, a UK business contract up North for a week, several reports to complete and about £70,000 worth of invoices to process – plus the Gawd awful VAT return!

When for Gawd sake will Wilt next get to North Wales – he is missing it! Fortunately for Salty Dog, she has a week long holiday there with Mrs, Ms and Master Wilt (and girlfriend) shortly – Wilt is otherwise engaged on a contract elsewhere. Mmmmmm.

Nevertheless, life is good.

Wilt

Oh dear, what a shame, Nick Griffin got his invite to the Palace withdrawn: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-10723764 and

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/7904464/Nick-Griffin-denied-entry-to-Buckingham-Palace-garden-party.html

Send him to the Tower ‘Maam’ – Off With His Head I hear a cry!

Wilt would be quite happy if he were hung, drawn and quartered.

Wilt

It’s funny how the chap in the cartoon looks a bit like Wilt: http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/cartoon/2010/jul/21/social-care

You know, tall, dark, handsome, and intelligent! No dress sense, 1970’s beard and drives a Citroën 2CV with that odd gear configuration via a gear lever sticking out of the dashboard.

Personally, Wilt preferred the old Renault 4 – it was the ‘posh’ 1970’s/80’s social workers car and a bit more ‘racy’ both in appearance and performance. It was a “big (social worker) boy’s car” whereas the 2CV was for Nancy boys and girls. The only trouble, both were French built – many things French, except wine and food, stink.

Wilt moved into Italian such as Alfa Romeo (otherwise rust buckets) in the 1980’s, Lancia (equal rust buckets) and the Fiat super sport models Abarth – they went like a bat out of hell. Wilt is amazed he is still alive. He had a brief return to the Renault 5 Gordini Turbo – a little less sedate than the old Renault 4; in fact very scary.

In those days, as cars went, it was all Italian, French and German, oh and to be balanced GM Vauxhall who put up a good show in terms of the boy racer Astra. Ford of course had its Escort XRi.

None of these were however quintessential British – unlike Bristol, Aston Martin, Bentley, Rolls Royce or the kit car makers etc. However, then, none of these were even remotely within the reach of Wilt – he did however manage a day long test drive in a very red, very fast and very ‘girl pulling’ Ferrari.

Trying to shag in the back of a Ferrari should, seriously, come with a health warning.

So Wilt got a conscience (not about shagging – he just got a bad back) and becoming a married family man (not the lass in the Ferrari) decided he should end his boy racer career and became New Mondeo Man (via the Sierra) and, in fact, New Labour Man, eventually.

Latterly, over the past 20 years, Wilt has moved from Old Labour to encompassing New Labour and then to outright Blue Tory – gradual but persistent, I think, and inevitable progress. He has been worker, trade union rep, manager, senior manager and independent social worker and businessman – now that is a fair old journey from owning a quirky Renault 4 to running several high end UK cars based in a rather high end privately owned house, with a very profitable business.

The moral of the story – never judge a book by its cover. Some sandal wearing, hippy looking bearded social workers might just not seem to be what the image portrays. Whereas Wilt loves the (image of) the old Renault 4 he much prefers the comfort of the jolly old Range Rover and other UK Marques in the garage and on the drive.

Life is good, even without the Renault 4 – we do miss it however.

Wilt

What a fucking twat: http://www.communitycare.co.uk/Articles/2010/07/21/114947/Doncaster-social-services-bomber-jailed.htm

You see social workers are in the eyes of some legitimate targets. This twat joins the ranks of the likes of Mrs C although her brand of terrorism is (to date) a little less physically violent.

What is it of late with these Northerners roaming the towns and countryside with guns and bombs? Now the latter bloke (the “screw” bomber) might have been tipped over the edge, but the two gunmen, and those that support Moat, were/are just fucking evil.

Wilt

If it is not the Stig, who the hell would want to be impersonating him? See the Telegraph article here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/news/7901767/BBC-investigates-Top-Gear-Stig-mystery.html

See one theory here: http://regulatorwatch.co.uk/2009/11/csci-internal-review-report/ (comment 13).

Might it be Wilt? He has a Range Rover. Someone is having some fun, but not Wilt in this case.

Brilliant!

Wilt
