BBQ

What a scorcher 29 degrees – definitely BBQ weather. It was so hot that even the Wilt had to retire to the confines of his air-conditioned car. Any excuse going out and getting yet another bottle of milk! The evening being a bit cooler, although not much, has caused the BBQ to again be dusted off and fired up. And the same weather forecast tomorrow – Salty Dog will be back in the fishpond, yet again!

Meanwhile Calleja has accessed Regulator Watch multiple times – what is wrong with the woman?

Oooopes – time to turn over the burgers and sausages.

Rieth

Wilt was invited to give a Rieth Lecture (if you believe that you are daft) but due to other prior agreed commitments he was forced to decline. You could possibly however imagine a Wilt Rieth lecture full of expletives and endless ranting. However we shall leave it to Aung Sang Suu Kyi to fill his place – she probably has a little more qualifications than Wilt to deliver a meaningful message.

But, you never know, Wilt might yet get this accolade!

In the interim enjoy these pictures from the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/in-pictures-13647943

Some sad news here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-13914522 and the same story in the Telegraph http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/8598838/Boy-13-charged-with-murder-of-Lanarkshire-woman-34.html and in the Mail: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2008238/Boy-13-charged-murder-killing-foster-mother-stab-attack.html

The latter is implying that the 13 year old may be a foster child.

Meanwhile also in the news Huhne is hitting the headlines again as first revealed by Guido last night http://order-order.com/2011/06/25/police-getting-tape-signed-statement-from-vicky-pryce/

More details are here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-13918109

In the mean time Shoesmith is also in the news facing a potential appeal: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13905290 Wilt aint so sure Gove or Balls will be allowed to appeal and if they are, then it is far from certain they would win it. It is worthwhile remembering that she won her appeal on the grounds that the process of her sacking was unfair, not whether she could or should have been sacked.

On a lighter note Salopian picked up on this ‘Old Tosser’ story in his local area. See here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-shropshire-13900782

It seems being a complete idiot is not reserved to a certain former Scottish Prime ‘Mentalist’ (Minister) as Guido refers to him. It seems just over the border in Northumberland some visitors to Lindisfarne (Holy Island) do not have many brain cells to call upon: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-13830017

Who gives birth to these people?

However that part of the far north east coast is well worth a visit with wonderful beaches, country piles, castles and excellent real ale.

Just take note of the signposts!

Death Sentence

This is why we need the death sentence reintroduced into the UK: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-13903710. You could of course add numerous child killers – that would make some rooms available in the prisons.

Enough said, we think.

Typically the Council imply the problem was with the ‘contractor.’ Mmmmmmm.

Good Tradition

Whilst on the theme of pensions there is apparently a rebellion among the coalition ranks: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13821169 This relates to the retirement of women from 60 to 65 years – what is the problem? Wilt wants to be kept in the style to which he is accustomed and Mrs Wilt working to 65 will assure that.

Wilt Portfolio

Wilt will happily become a semi-retired house husband spending frequent long weekends in North Wales with Salty Dog whilst drawing down his deferred local authority pension (investing the massive lump sum), plus his state pension & private pension and waving off Mrs Wilt to work. With the mortgage paid off by Wilt’s retirement date he will have no serious financial concerns and besides he has sufficient investments to cover any contingency – that comes of planning ahead and not squandering any surplus funds. £25000.00 a year seems adequate.

Women live longer – so they should work at least the same number of years as men before claiming their state pension, we think.

Mind you, Wilt’s brother and brother in law, now both retired, are more busy than ever, as are his retired drinking mates. The grey haired volunteers still work hard, but for free. A good tradition we think.

Arrogant Fool

17-06-11

The person Wilt most likes to deride (even above Calleja and Plaskitt and Brown) is a certain Mr Ed Balls – you know that evil looking and acting bastard the shadow chancellor. For some time Guido Fawkes has been monitoring a legal dispute between Balls and his former landlord that rented him an office.

Thanks to Guido it can be reported: http://order-order.com/2011/06/17/breaking-balls-loses-bad-debt-case-2/ that Balls has to pay up. What a fucking dickhead – and the other Ed thinks he can be a chancellor of the exchequer in waiting?

Neither Ed’s are having a good time of late – they only have themselves to blame.

What an arrogant fool.

Very Sound

This article is interesting in its own right: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/twitter/8583179/Husband-cleared-of-harassing-wifes-lover-on-Twitter.html but it of course has a particular significance to us bloggers and it should in particular be noted by Elizabeth Calleja of Leamington Spa who promulgates all free speech is restricted to that which she approves.

Wilt Portfolio

Freedom of speech is a right – telling lies, misinformation campaigns and outright fraud is not however permissible; take note Elizabeth Calleja of Leamington Spa. Freedom of opinion or expression is however, by this judgement, a right provided that the alleged ‘harassment’ is based on facts, is truthful and not intended to cause harm; simply being embarrassed by facts or opinions or expression of views does not cause harassment, nor necessarily defamation.

This judgement was sound, very sound and to this blogger at least, a bastion to profile the likes of Calleja as a public concern, in the public interest.

We reflect, it was of course Calleja who was ARRESTED over an allegation of HARASSMENT and not her alleged so called victimisers. It was she that stood before the custody sergeant accused and arrested for harassment that had to sign her bail conditions. She was on bail for three months before release.

Think on Elizabeth before you go on another vexatious campaign.

Even better, get a life for Gawd’s sake – accessing Regulator Watch 5 times daily is not healthy for you, really.

Oh dear, what a sad git: http://www.communitycare.co.uk/Articles/2011/06/17/117032/social-work-lecturer-struck-off-over-child-porn-images.htm

Not a lot to say other than some pervert was not quite suitable as a social work teacher – oh and on this one at least it seems the GSC may have got it right,for once.

Meanwhile, in another matter this social worker was much worse for wear: http://www.communitycare.co.uk/Articles/2011/06/17/117037/social-worker-struck-off-over-alcohol-use.htm on days gone by – was it necessary to remove her from the Register – perhaps an admonishment or suspension was more appropriate?

Discuss – that is the essay for the day.
