Useless, Useless.

I am rather torn in the case of Sharon fucking Shoesmith as to whether she should get all the publicity she's getting (it's handy to know exactly which moneygrabbing scum is, and has been, "overseeing" our shambolicly run fucking councils), or whether she should just be ignored to rot and grow moss. I think I go with the first option, simply because if we don't know what kinds of trash frequent the upper echelons of our councils, we're in no position to oust the incompetent fucks when they fucking well deserve it.

I've come to the conclusion that no matter how abominably shit a "director" in the public sector is at their job, they never seem to accept that with the big money comes the big responsibility. In business, on a salary like hers you'd be expected to take the shit if it does all hit the fan, and when the axe falls, it falls with quite some weight.

Probably because there's so much opinionated rabble lining the top offices of councils nationwide, none of them believe they're any less incompetent than the next incompetent director, and hence feel genuinely hard done by when they get the sack over a little thing like a child being tortured to death under their noses over the timespan of a whopping 17 months.

Shoesmith isn't the only one to blame. But when you're at the top and on £135,000 a year to boot, the buck fucking stops with you. So I would encourage this bedraggled old bitch to stop her whinging if she is to feel at all safe on the streets. The public aren't quite stupid enough to swallow her bullshit yet (although Ed Balls' education programming is working on that).
