Just watching the news and it strikes me how quick justice can be at times the former Attorney General Baroness Scotland’s housekeeper was found guilty of overstaying in the UK. I thought that if you were responsible for employing them you also got punished…spot the difference one get £500 fine the other 4 years in prison…guess which way it went round. And in all the time we have waited, had to live with an injustice, survive etc etc. This case has been in, done and dusted.

Amazing.

Anyway onto something truly amazing the Dunkirk Spirit how so many small ships moved so many. Which reminds me having heard of another family who have had their children taken off them - how so many have been affected by the experts of the world and how the way we have come together we suddenly are not so small and we can make some changes.

I remember a certain prolific expert looking down his nose at us (on a more than one occasion) well, theres a lot of us out here who aim to get right up your nose, really soon…

Not long to go now…

Those tiny ships made a huge difference against a more powerful arrogant enemy…

History teaches many lessons if you bother to look…

Hi,

You will be pleased to know rather than sit around and get bored, I have been busy. I appreciate that the new coalition government is stuck (theres no money left - bet he wishes he’d never said that) on the cash front, so I have been coming up with ideas to help out.

Well one of the big expenses is the Trident Nuclear missile programme, they  now want a cheaper version. I have one! Now its still in the early testing phase, and I admit we have teething problems but I am quietly confident we can sort something soon. As soon as I can find a blue touch paper that doesn’t go out under water.

There is also talk of a new Tanker aircraft for the RAF, well yet again, I reckon if you sellotape wings to a petrol station that has to be cheaper, and the pilots when they refuel their fighters will also get free glasses and points. The only downside will be the dodgy pies you get in there, it could impact on the pilots as they pull G’s.

I was listening to the invention called ‘radio’ the other day and they were talking about the universe and what we know we know and the known unknowns and the unknown unknowns…which reminded me of a conversation in court sometime ago. Which went on for a while about the known unknowns etc etc etc. Someone should invent a machine that should stop nonsense…or they could just put experts in a box, never to be opened.

Still waiting…for that and a date…

Ever been in a waiting room and read all the old Readers Digests, the Lady, Old car mags, all the leaflets, warning signs, manufacturers details on the chairs, anything readable from outside the window, including the kite mark on the window?

Well that just about sums up things at the mo…

I am excited though as apparently someone is bringing in a dog eared book on the Ecconomic Markets of the Upper Volga Region and a pamphlet on Sexual Diseases and how not to catch them whilst travelling alone on the Orient Express during the spring break season.

That may help pass some more time.

If anyone has any other reading material like IKEA flat pack instructions then keep them for me…

May need them…

Message after review into Kyle Fisher death

May 13 2010 by Naomi Corrigan, Evening Gazette

//

LESSONS could be learned from the death of a Teesside toddler, a review concluded.

Suzanne Holdsworth was jailed for life after being convicted of killing Hartlepool tot, Kyle Fisher, inset, in 2005. She was accused of banging his head against a wooden banister whilst babysitting him at her home in Millpool Close, Hartlepool, in July 2004.

The Court of Appeal later quashed her conviction and after a re-trial was cleared in 2008 when it emerged Kyle suffered from brain abnormalities.

A Serious Case Review undertaken in 2006 by Hartlepool Local Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB) ruled no agencies could be faulted for their care. But in light of the re-trial, the board commissioned an independent person to review the findings.

The report stated his death was “a tragic event for the family” and “no direct link can be made between the death and the actions or inaction of any professional or agency”. But it identified three recommendations to improve practice:

Checks should be done to ensure medical clinicians are child protection trained.

Checks in place to ensure systems are in place for early identification of vulnerable young parents.

Audits of case records should check information about family history is sought, and considered in assessments, when there are indicators of difficulty or vulnerability in families.

Nicola Bailey, chairman of the Hartlepool LSCB, said: “This review provided the opportunity to look at circumstances surrounding this case in light of the court outcome. The board has accepted the additional recommendations.”

Sally Robinson, Hartlepool Borough Council’s director of child and adult services, said: “We strive to ensure we have the best practices to protect children and to achieve this we’ll continue to work with key organisations.”

Bev Walker, South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust’s assistant director of nursing and patient safety, said: “We’ll look at this review closely to see if there are further lessons to be learned.”

Sue Smith, North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust’s director of nursing and patient safety said they would look at recommendations and put in place anything required to protect children in their care.

A spokeswoman for Cleveland Police said: “We are looking at the review closely to ensure that any learning points are implemented.”
