Ofsted, which oversees children's social services, was hauled before Mr Justice Foskett after its lawyers admitted they had failed to hand over an inspector's notebooks, emails and drafts in the Baby P official's unfair dismissal case.
It was finally forced to admit the documents did exist after they were uncovered following a Freedom of Information request.
Yesterday, Mr Justice Foskett said Ofsted must give 'a full explanation' of why requests from Miss Shoesmith's lawyers for information on draft reports 'was dealt with in the way it was'.
He said they were at first 'batted away', then turned down on the basis that they did not exist, 'and now they do'.'I want chapter and verse on that,' he said, before ordering Ofsted to pay all costs for the special hearing.
An Ofsted whistleblower has claimed a previous report into Haringey was secretly downgraded from 'good' to 'inadequate' because of the furore over the toddler's death.

The real sickener here is that this Shoosmith woman will now probably recieve a huge tax free compensation payment for having done her job negligently.
There is a cancer at the heart of our society and a shifting of moral horizons during the last decade of Nu Liar government. |

Let socialism at a local level be a warning to all those who all support it at a national level and those who may be swayed into thinking it could work. It doesn,t tried it before !! Redundancy notices in taxis is how it usually works .

OK ,lets look at the evidence we have in front of us,the last socialist government forfeited power in 1979.
The "Winter of Discontent" is a term used to describe the British winter of 19781979, during which there were widespread strikes by local authority trade unions demanding larger pay raises for their members, and because the government of James Callaghan sought to hold a pay freeze to control inflation. The strikes were a result of the attempted enforcement of the Labour government's attempt to control inflation by imposing rules on the public sector that pay rises be kept below 5%, as an example to the private sector. However, employers conducted their negotiations within mutually agreed parameters with their employees unions. Whilst the strikes were largely over by February 1979, the government's inability to contain the strikes earlier helped lead to Margaret Thatcher's Conservative victory in the 1979 general election and legislation to restrict unions. Public sector employee strike actions included an unofficial strike by gravediggers working in Liverpool and Tameside, and strikes by refuse collectors. Additionally, NHS ancillary workers formed picket lines to blockade hospital entrances with the result that many hospitals were reduced to taking emergency patients only. Be careful what you wish for comrades ;) . |

Okay, now let's have a look at some more evidence.
Such as all the strikes which happened in the 80s...now, which party was in government then ?:| |

It was the public sector unions that did all the damage, but they're still intact.
It's the unions in the private sector that were hit hardest by the Tories. That's why jobs in the public sector are paid so much better now than comparable jobs in the private sector. Thanks Maggie. the public sector workers did the damage and the private sector workers are having to pay for it. |
