File closed.........

Wilt has been working up North and he took the opportunity to meet with his old mate from Salop for a cider or several. This is the chap who had the unfortunate experience of professional dealings with Mrs C in 2002 and who since 2004 Mrs C has attempted to have de-registered by the GSCC (failed), have him suspended by a contractor (failed) and arrested by the police (failed) – instead of course Mrs C found herself being ARRESTED on 29^th June 2010. Have I mentioned previously that she is on bail for suspected harassment?

He is one of several people who put together the documentation of the Mrs C harassment case and who made a formal police complain leading to her ARREST.

Anyway, he was in good fettle – business is good, money roles in and his compensation from the former Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) over Mrs C causes him to giggle. He put the money to good use and that investment is paying back huge funds – anyway, I digress.

He goes on to tell me that he had a phone call from the Information Commissioner – it went something like this:

ICO: We have had a complaint from Mrs C..... <interrupted>

Salop Man: <groan> yes

ICO: It’s about Regulator Watch and Wilt

Salop Man: <groan> yes and what does that have to do with me?

ICO: Well she thinks you are Wilt....... <interrupted>

Salop Man: Yes, so I understand from West Mercia Police, Oxfordshire Police, the GSCC and the new owners of Happen Fostercare (Banbury) and no doubt others I am yet to be contacted by.

ICO: Yes. So you are not Wilt?

Salop Man: NO! Is this to do with the “Happen Files?” The supposed missed or stolen file relating to Mrs C?

ICO: Yes.

Salop Man: As far as I know no file has gone missing, was never stolen nor has been published by anyone, by Regulator Watch or anyone else. In fact there is no suggestion that any such file ever existed although I <personally> hold a file as do numerous others since Mrs C took it upon herself to challenge anyone who took any opinion to disagree with her and complain to all and sundry. Furthermore, any file which did exist pre-dated any statutory requirement for Happen Fostercare <in 2002> to have a regulated contract or file with Mrs C.

ICO: We need to close this file <ICO file> as any opinion expressed on the Regulator Watch website is a personal view and does not fall within the remit of the ICO as personal opinions are not an ICO concern.

Salop Man: Good, I agree

ICO: We will then close the file and we will not pursue the matter further – Mrs C will be advised as such in writing, as will you

Salop Man: Good..... And is she <Mrs C> in contact with you regularly?

ICO: Frequently <groan>

Salop Man: Did she<Mrs C.> tell you she was recently arrested, for suspected harassment?

ICO: NO!

Salop Man: Oh yes, and she is on bail not to contact me or certain others or cause for others to have contact with the same or access their websites

ICO: No I was not aware of that

Salop Man: have you not been reading the press

ICO: I obviously missed it

Salop Man: But I understand your organisation was sent specifically a press release

ICO: Not seen it yet, but it takes time for these things to reach my desk

Salop Man: Obviously

ICO: But this is very interesting

Salop Man: It will become even more interesting

ICO: To confirm, we will write to you and the Mrs C that we will not pursue the complaint matter further and the file will be closed

Salop Man: Good, and shall Mrs C know that the matter is now dead

ICO: Yes, very dead

Salop Man: Now, please expect a call from the good DCXXXXX of West Mercia police – you see he is gathering evidence.

ICO: We will cooperate with the police

In short, another avenue closed down for Mrs C. What a wonderful Dork. You could not make it up, truth is stranger than fiction – for certain!
