Pissed off........

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.
