I've n...<i>'Hounding'..? ‘Persecution’..?</i><br /><br />I've noticed this a lot recently. Even the current Pope (and former patron saint of child molesters) is at it too:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/faith/article7079173.ece" rel="nofollow">Pope 'not intimidated' by sex abuse claims</a><br /><br />Intimidated? Or 'not' as he claims... which means he is feeling intimidated really.<br /><br />The Pope then said that faith in Christ <i>“helps lead us towards courage which does not allow us to be intimidated by the chatter of dominant opinions”.</i><br /><br />In other words; he's not quiting. He'd make a good Labour politician.John Pickworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02166443099429490782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-75846337849758099732010-03-29T05:58:49.813+01:002010-03-29T05:58:49.813+01:00"My first thought was we could do with of one...<i>"My first thought was we could do with of one them amendment thingys that guaranteed the right of free speech."</i> <br /><br />We certainly could,<br /><br /><i>"The proper defense for social workers is that they have a literally impossible job.

They don't meet their own procedures or requirements, time and time again.<br /><br />That's why they are vilified, not for the out-of-the-blue, couldn't-be-foreseen cases. <br /><br />It's the ones that anyone with an IQ above room temperature could see going south long before the point of death.JuliaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07844126589712842477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-16142204284637793272010-03-28T13:27:18.257+01:002010-03-28T13:27:18.257+01:00Engenders thoughts like this from one of the Dougl...Engenders thoughts like this from one of the Douglas Adams books: <br /><br />"`You know they've reintroduced the death penalty for insurance company directors?' <br />`Really?' said Arthur. `No I didn't.

It is simply impossible for any organisation to guarantee the safety of vulnerable people everywhere, as it is also impossible for an organisation attempting this not to tread roughshod over the rights of many poor and innocent people. The State has been attempting this, not only in this country since before I was born- if the thing could be done they'd have cracked it by now.<br />The real crime of social workers is to continue to accept salaries on the premise that they can in fact achieve this- but I guess they've got families to feed too.<br />The answer is for society at large to grow up and recognise that shit happens- that the only people guilty of say baby P's death are the actual perpetrators- and stop employing people just so that politicians can posture as caring supermen which is what social workers are actually paid for- well that and the risk of being thrown to the wolves whenever things go wrong.Patnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-62177754714259688952010-03-28T11:37:51.451+01:002010-03-28T11:37:51.451+01:00Antisthenes,

My second thought was that bit about untouchable because under this amendment thingy is it you are allowed to tell lies or was it because it was the truth.Antistheneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10120647617145756102noreply@blogger.com
