Northern lights......
It is probably due to living closer to Brown that causes this fact: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-11138535

Tony the man...........
Oh dear – Blair had a drink problem. We must introduce him to Salty Dog. Mind you, if Wilt had to put up with Brown in person it would have been more than a G&T or whisky and several glasses of wine per night. See here:

It was enough having to put up with Brown and Ferkin Balls at a distance. Both Brown and fellow bully Balls could have driven anyone to drink, just by looking at their false smile and blinking eyes respectively. Later I am getting Blair’s book but keeping it under wraps until the holiday to Egypt – not so long now.

Shed a tear........
Of course Wilt predicted the demise of the GSCC and wondered what on earth Penny Thompson was doing taking on the job. And whatever it is stated in this article: http://www.communitycare.co.uk/Articles/2010/09/01/115203/gscc-chief-aims-for-strong-legacy-after-reform-plan-dashed.htm it will not be two years but in fact 18 months when the GSCC disappear – i.e. end of March 2012.
Despite the opinions of some solicitors, Regulator Watch actually does fulfil a role in reporting, monitoring and acting as a pressure on the social care regulators. Obviously those letters to David Cameron had some effect.
Wilt, not being registered due to the stupid rules that permit someone to call themselves a social care consultant, has no personal interest in the outcome, but we know many registered social workers and victims of the GSCC who are still celebrating.
We are off to get Tony Blair’s book.

Out with the old........
Is it really that difficult to decide on what could replace Cafcass? See article here: http://www.communitycare.co.uk/Articles/2010/09/01/115205/what-is-the-alternative-to-cafcass.htm
Simple, attach it to the local Courts or give the money to solicitors/advocates. Indeed the voluntary sector (i.e. the NSPCC – yes the NSPCC) have failed in delivering a service, as have some others in the private sector, mostly because they know shit all about the role of Guardians.
What does the NSPCC know about Guardian work – not a lot Wilt has heard.
It would be possible for the voluntary sector or independent sector to run it, although why bother? There are sufficient numbers of independent social workers to fulfil the role, provided it becomes accepted that in not all cases Guardians are actually required.
If it were the voluntary sector, perhaps it should be someone like Barnardoe’s – one of the organisations that remain to do some real social work and appear, to Wilt, to be grounded. We were amazed to hear the NSPCC and a certain private agency were supplying Guardians. Some people question what the NSPCC does at the best of times in terms of its core business (yes business), let alone expanding into Guardian work – for Gawd sake!

On and off...........
No sooner than Wilt gets home and the not very nice people at Simons Muirehead and Burton are threatening Regulator Watch again, on behalf of Elizabeth Calleja.
Salty Dog, extremely well versed in law, having responded to the said solicitors, they remain dissatisfied and demanded, today, again, not via Salty Dog or Pixelmakers but via its hosts, to remove Regulator Watch from the face of the earth, or if not any reference to Elizabeth Calleja.
These bully boy tactics from the Soho gang at Frith Street however failed, initially.
So, what exactly is all this about, you might think – well let me tell you the story.
You see, there is this woman Elizabeth Calleja – she lives in Leamington Spa. She is a foster parent, under arrest and on conditional bail, for alleged stalking and harassment – yes I died say a foster parent. The kind that is meant to look after vulnerable children apparently full time.
Anyway, she and her former MP (James Plaskitt) have a problem. It’s called truth – or at least truth unless they approve of it. Have you ever read 1984, the novel? Scary stuff, we think.
Elizabeth has pursued a complaint with any authorities/quango you care to mention for eight years – the original complaint may have some merit but eight years later and having been dismissed, officially and unofficially, by any agency or quango you care to mention, she has turned to using the press to pursue her complaints – however even they are seriously questioning the veracity of her arguments.
She has pursued relentlessly several parties since 2002 on a dead issue – an issue so dead as to have run out of date for cremation.
Yet Mrs Calleja carries on attempting, sometime successfully until people realise otherwise, to portray herself as a victim of maladministration, administrative victimisation/abuse, and innocence of the most (angelic) high nature. Regrettably, rather than simply portraying herself as a (could be) innocent foster carer (which actually involves a lot of work) she instead decides, even eight years later, to attempt to drag down others in her wake so as to make herself, somehow, look ‘good’ and pristine.
Goodness, no, Elizabeth is not an evil bastard, eight years later and with a vengeance so deep rooted as to know no bounds. No indeed! Perhaps someone else can explain it.
Anyway, a group of people, some much detested by Elizabeth as simple complaint fodder for her own ends, decide enough is enough and thus by almost by group osmosis create Regulator Watch – a light in the darkness. Here, truth (at least a better and more official version, sometimes very uncomfortable) and simple things like facts can be permitted to emerge. Gawd forbid, the press never permitted that in the case of Calleja, failing more often than not to consult with those Calleja gladly named and shamed.
Not, we emphasise, that Regulator Watch is specifically concerned with the woman – I think the solicitors will not challenge the fact that she is a woman? They do challenge anything that Regulator Watch might say about Calleja, and strangely, Plaskitt – very bizarre as he is not a litigant. Perhaps he is a silent litigant?
Therefore, Calleja attempts again to have anything which she does not agree with expunged from the record in 1984 fashion. In this case her solicitors simply want the whole of Regulator Watch taken offline, permanently.
They succeeded initially, then Regulator Watch was restored but they are now further threatening Webfusion (the hosts) and the designers of Regulator Watch – not that either have any responsibility.
Webusion have taken the sensible position (tot that Wilt agrees with them) of a company and decided again to take down Regulator Watch – Wilt et al have however decided to move to another host, and if necessary keep moving the Blog from host to host until Calleja gives up.
We will not be dictated to about facts and opinions on a broad range of issues, including Calleja. Pixelmakers have been excused, purely to protect their interests. However if you need a great designer, look no further, and Webfusion are excused too – they are however guilty of taking the line of least resistance in an increasingly litigious world.
Of course Calleja will never directly challenge Wilt – the threats of litigation are based on far too shaky grounds. She knows that evidence, and in particular a jury in either civil or legal proceedings, would laugh her out of Court – with considerable costs.
Besides, several police forces have told Calleja there is no case for complaint, as have from their respective positions (scope of responsibility) the Information Commissioner (ICO), GSCC (in respect of the alleged author – Wilt), Ofsted and the former relevant ministers in the various House of Commons debates. So where is the alleged guilt or the remit of any institution to impose the will of Mrs Calleja?
Nowhere to be seen, it appears. Fortunately neither Blair nor Brown were quite able to create the quango ‘The World According to Calleja’ or as otherwise known as ‘TWAC.’
It is unlikely to be created, we suspect.
In the last century we saw the likes of Stalin, Hitler (and cohorts) and some others who simply had a certain agenda and as part of their efforts to control the world insisted upon a certain perverse propaganda. Anyone who disagreed with the conventional thinking and view were simply disposed of either to Siberia or somewhere like Auschwitz - there was no freedom of speech or opinion that was allowed without approval. Is that what Calleja or her supporters want?
Her efforts in the new millennium to ‘cleanse the records’ and limit free speech and opinion has worrying reminisces to an earlier world order in certain parts of the planet.
It is a very slippery slope when you take that route, especially in Leamington Spa.
However much Wilt instructs solicitors and advocates and enjoys their company both professionally and privately, they are sometimes a despicable profession by promoting the defence of total twats or advocating actions which challenge common sense or established conventions. And why do they act as such – you ever met a poor solicitor or advocate?
Wilt is advised that there are some poor solicitors – so no offence to them. There are also some who work hard for little reward to promote the rights of those least able to defend themselves – excluded from that is Calleja. She is, she claims of course, to be a lawyer herself.
So, there are poor solicitors (a minority), some dedicated (irrespective of personal gain) and there are false lawyers. It just goes to show what a broad range of people attempt to exercise the law.
It’s an expensive business, although we recommend Salty Dog who has reasonable rates.

Snoring zzzzzzzzz...........
It is Sunday, on an August Bank Holiday and the weather here in North Wales is excellent. Salty Dog, with its frisby, is downing yet another pint. It is but 13:55 pm and lunch is still settling whilst Wilt gets up to date on who has been accessing Regulator Watch.
Guess who is back? Go on, guess. It will take but a moment of thought – yes you got it in one, a certain Elizabeth Calleja now back from her hols (well roasted we hope) in Turkey. Out of breath she clambered to her computer and typed into Google www.regulatorwatch.co.uk. She did not bother unpacking, that is left to her minion Mr C.
Access Regulator Watch three times before lunch, on a Sunday, on a Bank Holiday weekend – for Gawd sake Elizabeth, get a life will you?
Meanwhile, I am off for a post lunch snooze – without Salty Dog as it snores far too loudly.
