So...after a lovely walk (and a few beers) round Parliament least week, I found myself in a post euphoria fugue and the news today snaps me out of it like an acid bath.
I am talking about "Baby P".
Sixty visits by "so-called" experts and this defenceless child dies in pain that I cannot imagine. And yet at Parliament, Cameron asks a half decent question and is given a series of the usual "executive summary" has been issued, "lessons will be learnt", "weaknesses have been identified" by the PM. I don't have any time for Cameron or the PM, but as usual no questions are directly answered and the whole lot will eventually be forgotten about until the next one dies. The layer upon layer of red-tape, delegated accountability and self nest-feathering will always result in this.
And another defenceless child will die. And then another. And then another.
It all boils down to the simple fact that most Social Workers are simply incompetents who are quite happy to take the inflated salary, comfy hours and gold-plated pension, without actually helping anyone. There is always someone else to blame. I have had occasion to meet some of these people and I wouldn't employ most of them to polish my shoes. But once they have their feet under the table of public service, they turn into the green-eyed self-serving spineless loafers that are blighting this country. At least the unemployed don't do anything badly since they do nothing at all - this lot get paid a fortune to do everything badly.
The continued incompetence at all levels of government - be it social services, the economy, education, the health service, law and order, transport, the mere fact that they could actually put people like Blears, Balls and Harperson in positions of power, is testament to troughing nature of pretty much all politicians.
They care only of themselves, never you. Remember that. It might keep you ahead of the game, at least for a while.
In the meantime, I am asking my biochemist friend to invent a sort of Myximotosis for Social Workers. It is only right.

Don't we all feel angry, especially when you have got kids, or had kids and are perhaps a grandparent. I think grandparents are the worst they love there grandkids because they have no responsibility. To such people, lets call them normal people, hurting kids is incomprehensible because it is hurting there future. The trouble is that most social workers are constrained by the laws that are in place, laws by there very nature limit discretionary action. Common sense does not determine what is right but the law, and he or she is going to get screwed if he steps over the line. You can bet your life that the social workers kept too the letter of the law there defense as I read it is based on the fact that I did nothing wrong legally. Who can blame them I can't, in the mean time a child dies a horrible death that shocks us all. They are also limited by budgetary restraints. With the mass immigration into Britain it will only get worse with the ethnically sensitive government who will do nothing to lose them votes. The social workers are in an invidious position, nobody is going to defend them so they stick to the letter of the law and not the essence of the law, which would have perhaps saved this child's life. Me and you, well we would have hung the bastard, and thought no more of it. We can envision the pain he must have suffered and imagine it happening to our kids and we get f**king angry. Thank you for commenting on my Blogg ( Holger Dansker) I am an ex-pat who has lived abroad for many years now but worry about my country, our country. I would be grateful if you could drop me a line occasionally about what is going on their too

All I seem to get is shit dressed up as chocolate by the BBC. I might be wrong but I don't think so.
Deep regards
