Watch This Space
Not long now..........We will be back full blown with a new site and editorial, oh and a few more revelations of the thoughts of Wilt and that dirty Salty Dog.
Oooooooeeeeeerrrrrr
Sunday, 23 January 2011
Hello.....
Well, the Wilt is back – his absence is a long story and one too boring to explain to the avid followers of Regulator Watch.
Anyway, there is a lot of catching up on news since August although whether that will prove to be possible now is doubtful – however in the days/weeks to come we will be attempting some anthology of newsworthy events, in social care and at the same time comment current events. None of the regulators have yet escaped the clutches of Wilt and the team.
Watchful, mate, I was neither kidnapped by extremists in Egypt, nor gagged by lawyers for Calleja or anyone else. The explanation is much more practical and benign – and boring, not least the period incorporated the end of the corporate tax year (together with a very painful bill), personal tax year (none a everything is offshore), increasing workflows (still much overseas) and some element of exhaustion.
Oh and there was Xmas and New Year and a lot of snow, especially in them there hills and mountains in north Wales where Mr & Mrs Wilt, both Wilt offspring and Salty Dog spent most of the between Xmas and post New Year period in up to minus 15 degrees! Bust pipes – I lost count!
Anyway, energy recovered – Wilt is up to the task again.
Our apologies for any worries caused.

9/11
Whatever Wilt felt, which was considerable distress, was only a miniscule of a miniscule of the emotional distress of his relatives/friends in New York who looked on in horror from across the river.
This scene is at Arlington Cemetery in Washington – befitting we believe of our sentiments on this sad anniversary – therein are at rest heroes of freedom.
And what was Calleja doing at the time? Complaining of course, and since. That kind of puts her in perspective, does it not? TWAT.

Wheelie Bin
 |
| From BBC News |
You can just imagine the unnamed fellow saying, ‘see you later darling – I am going to retrieve the bin.’ And the reply ‘yes dear.’
Several hours later he ends up in hospital – it’s like something out of a Monty Python sketch.
It also caught my eye because of the location, Red Wharf Bay on Anglesey – one of Salty Dog’s favourite locations. The little village/anchorage has a wonderful beach, a pub (very important to Salty Dog) and a little cafe. The pub grub, be warned, is expensive and overpriced although tasty. The cafe on the other hand is reasonably priced and equally tasty grub can be had.
If you prefer, take a picnic – we gather you can dump your leftovers in a local wheelie bin now understood to be tethered to the sea wall.
There is nothing else there, not even a shop and the hotel up on the hill where we once stayed closed several years ago – that was before we bought our own north Wales abode.
When the tide is out you can walk for miles and Salty Dog gets to play in the pools left behind by the receding sea. Plan your walk carefully, cos when that tide returns it does so at greater pace than many can run.

Humour In Death
 |
| Wilt Portfolio |
Wilt just hopes the return flight on Tuesday evening is not interrupted or delayed, as the following day he is off to Egypt on his sojourn.
Anyway, Wilt has been in a bit of a quandary for a couple of days, deciding whether or not to appeal a Court matter in which he acts as a Guardian – he is still in a quandary over it. Serious stuff is at stake. A real head in the hands affair.
However, Wilt will search his conscience a little further before arriving at a decision.
In the mean time Wilt was listening to the BBC Radio 4 Six O’clock News tonight which reported that in Australia the Catholic Church is to ban certain bespoke musical renditions from funerals in favour of more sombre music as the coffin disappears behind those curtains.
Among the banned musical choices hitherto used in Australian funerals is Queen’s ‘Another Bites The Dust.’
Fucking brilliant Australian humour - me thinks Wilt will have that song at his funeral.
Another, welcomed, falling off the office chair in a fit of laughter moment. How do these BBC folk keep themsewlves from laughing when reporting this stuff? Now my head hurts having landed not very softly on the carpet.

Fair Comment
 |
| From the Wilt Portfolio |
It would appear CAFCASS are protesting against fair comment, not by simply protesting but by referring the matter to the GSCC. See the Blog post here from Allan Norman (of Celtic Knot).
The question not posed by Norman however is how the matter managed to get from the GSCC conduct team, through a Preliminary Proceedings hearing and finally onto a full Conduct hearing? The GSCC officers could have knocked the complaint on the head as an obvious malicious complaint, attempting to silence not only Charles Place but indeed post a warning to others who might disagree with CAFCASS.
So, although the GSCC tribunal Committee might have done the right thing (and they did), there is no analysis of how it got before the Committee in the first place. What were the GSCC officers up to bringing this matter before them?
How much wasted resources and thousands of pounds were spent on this wasteful exercise, and really was an admonishment necessary given as Norman observes:
“One irony of this case is that the social worker concerned remains employed by CAFCASS apparently carrying out "valuable work for us to a good standard" according to its chief executive. Misconduct is defined as conduct which calls into question suitability to remain on the register. CAFCASS did not even believe it called into question his competence or suitability to be employed by them, so why bring the complaint?”
A similar question, Allan, applies to the GSCC officers.
It just goes to show that the GSCC are still a very dysfunctional organisation incapable of deciding what role it fulfils.

A Nice Man
 |
| From Microsoft Windows Vista Professional |
The Times, in my print copy,*** gave a good account of the fiasco, albeit not uncritical of Hague for his lack of foresight of how others (the press) might make further mischief of the debacle. This does not help blogging, in the least. Some bloggers of course rely upon facts, documentation and/or qualified opinion – like Regulator Watch.
*** We do not subscribe to the electronic version (like Watchful).
The Sunday Times also has a very thoughtful and interesting article on that chap Julian Assange, the founder of Wikeleaks, who is now having his private affairs, we read, much against his better wishes being published – allegations of sexual assault, although it is far from certain, reading between the lines, if it was anything like that, actually.
You see, what goes around, comes around, eventually – hence the despair of Elizabeth (‘Disgusted of Leamington Spa’). Indeed Mr Coulson BBC article might yet find himself the wrong end of his affairs becoming more public.
Meanwhile, carry on Mr & Mrs Hague – you have our support too.
Wilt
Flight
Well we have an early morning flight to catch – business overseas again until Wednesday evening. We have the laptop and will be keeping in touch.
In the mean time we hope, unlike before, Elizabeth and co will refrain from attacking Regulator Watch – she has rediscovered the site again but has been remarkably restrained in accessing it, for the moment. Perhaps she is writing a long letter of complaint to Google.
Fortunately ‘Blogger’ is hosted in the US and falls under both California and Federal law which achieves three things: first Google (who operate Blogger) will not act on threats of legal action (they require a Court Order), second they will not arbitrate and third they are very strong on this thing called ‘freedom of speech.’ That appears to be something that is declining in the UK.
We have also stiffened up our site conditions and those who access the site have been assumed to have read and it and there is that the so called ‘Adult Content’ screen which greets you before accessing Regulator Watch – no excuse then (not that there ever was in reality) for Elizabeth logging on several times a day/night and then complaining of being ‘Mrs Disgusted’ of Leamington Spa. If you don’t like it, go to some other Blog.
And of course Calleja can post her own comments if she wishes, to express her freedom speech – she has never had that difficulty before in talking to the press and media or posting/faxing/emailing numerous persons or agencies. So go on Elizabeth, go for it.
The other day we wondered, given all the recent hassle, why were we doing all this. There are of course a host of reasons, like the antics of the GSCC, Ofsted and the like – but also because of this article generated by Elizabeth in the Spectator of all places. It is such utter fucking rubbish, indeed the article was published without consultation with anyone other than Elizabeth. That, in part, is why this Blog persists – it is to ‘out’ charlatans and utter fools, to redress the balance for reasonable thinking people and ensure that there is a voice for ‘Joe Public.’
I will return to that article and tell you the truth (or at least a different version of the truth) that is actually based on facts and actual evidence, not that “big black folder” which Elizabeth manicures to fit her highly edited version of events.
In the interim take a look at that article (have a good laugh – I did) and then remind yourself that the foster parent, Elizabeth Calleja, has been ARRESTED and placed on CONDITIONAL BAIL for HARASSMENT- does that fit the image of the woman portrayed in the Spectator?
Anyway, all our old regulars are back and the regular traffic on Regulator Watch has been unaffected by the move. We thank again our friends who assisted tirelessly in the process. We thank all for their kindly messages by phone, posts on the Blog and by email.
We are off...... Flight to catch, and so bloody early on a Sunday.

Get Real
Well there is nothing new in this story here in the Telegraph. This has been going on for years. The extent of it has of course grown out of all proportion and should now be severely curtailed. If trade union members want full or part time work place representation, then they should pay for it, not the taxpayer.
This is outrageous. We cannot afford it.

Where?
OK readers of Regulator Watch, where is the following:
No prizes for the correct answer. You just get to be smug if you get it right.
If you want a clue it is not in the UK or even Europe.

We welcome back Watchful again :-)
His/her welcome return reminds me that several years ago Wilt had the opportunity to do some work in Eire, including County Donegal and Wexford. Both are great places and one day Wilt must take Salty Dog back for a holiday - not too far from North Wales on the fast ferry.
And Wilt now knows how to get from the ferry port, through Dublin and, onto the excellent motorway/roads. He was then driving a (British) 3.2 V6 that could cruise to Donegal very nicely, via Sligo - an interesting looking town which he never quite got to explore.
Indeed the whole trip from Dublin to Donegal was filled with spectacular scenery - it was such a waste not having the time to stop at about a hundred or so places along the way.
On his work trip Wilt took with him his trusty Nikon. Now take a look at this:
Is that spectacular or what?
And it is but one of a whole series in a portfolio of this single bay and its nearby harbour. Wilt, you see, is a bit of a landscape photographer in his spare time.
Sadly this bay (I think actually in County Sligo) just south of Donegal has something of a history which many regret - it is where Lord Mountbatten was assassinated. See an article on it here.
Perhaps, had he had a choice, he (Mountbatten) might just have chosen to pass away his final days here - who could blame him.
The local harbour, an absolute delight, is at, I think it is called, Mullaghmore - there one finds absolute tranquility at the local pub which shelters behind the harbour wall, and does a grand lunch and a fine pint of whatever you might choose.
Bliss, absolute.
Wilt
ps: we are off again Sunday on business overseas - we hope this time there are no menacing threats over Regulator Watch

Just a few

| Mr & Mrs Langton from BBC News |
It seems a pair of mad twats, foster parents, ran off with a child. As there are very few 'bad' social workers there are equally small numbers of twat foster carers. However when they are bad they are very, very bad indeed, not unlike Elizabeth Calleja in her hovel in the former constituency of James Plaskitt (former) MP.
Readers will be familiar with Elizabeth who has been ARRESTED and placed on CONDITIONAL BAIL for suspected harassment - as yet not charged with that offence and thus innocent until proven guilty. However there were reasonable grounds for her arrest.
We await to see the outcome of further police enquiries.
Mrs C has conducted a campaign of harassment for eight years since 2002. She complains to anyone you care to mention.There is no sign of her declining in her 'mission' to clear her name whereas she just continues to dig deeper and deeper holes for herself, and sends herself into a spin in the process.
Let her get on with it, apart from her current rather frustrated solicitors Simons Muirehead Burton no one else gives a shit - not Ofsted, GSCC (or variants of),various police forces, the Information Commissioners Office, Parliament or even HM The Queen (she has probably corresponded there too given her record of complaining).
However, she has not yet, as far as we know, abducted any children.

Bloody wonderful
Oh look, I have found my other reading material for the Egypt trip - Tom Sharpe new book on Wilt
Bloody wonderful stuff and it was published on 2nd September too; like Regulator Watch was re-published on the same day! Spooky but welcome coincidence and rather apposite we think.

We are back
It would appear that we are back after legal thtreats to Webfusion caused them to panic. So we are now offshore in the US where bloggers are protected by freedom of speach legislation.
No doubt certain people will still try to pursue us but good luck to them.

Bemused again........
I must say I am rather bemused by all this, and a little sad for Hague and Ffion – was there really a need for this?
See here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-11156963
Even here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2010/sep/01/william-hague-denies-gay-rumours
And here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/william-hague/7975823/William-Hagues-special-advisor-resigns-over-untrue-allegations.html
Plus of course: http://order-order.com/2010/09/01/myers-quits/
All this is very silly and sad.
Who gives a shit if he is gay or not, which he probably is not – of course the real story is about appointments of advisers on the payroll who might have been appointed as a gay lover. Again, we suspect not.
Apparently, and Guido (http://order-order.com/) has been reporting it for days, there have been rumours circulating the internet that Hague and Myers have something unsavoury in their relations. Now this kind of scandal mongering is without any real merit and probably comes down to the likes of the News of the World or its readers, or possibly the Sun -otherwise the tabloid gutter press.
Now I know Wilt et al go on about Elizabeth Calleja, but at least their observations are based on recorded facts, evidenced documents (more yet to come) and opinions of reasonable thinking persons. This kind of smearing is however unforgivable.
How comes Myers resigns and Calleja remains a foster parent – I am fucking bemused and her solicitors will really need to explain this to Salty Dog.
Fucking incredible.
