OFSTED - East London lesson for Cronying Tony Blair – Drop Christine

The Khoodeelaar! campaign against the Crossrail hole Bill - Blair’s de facto salvaging of the career of Christine Gilbert via the Ofsted appointment is only significant as a peripheral indicator of how immoral his decision making is, contrary to the routine professions that he is at all a morally active ethically laudable decision maker… the central lesson is that his judgement is seriously flawed and that he is as anti-democratic and unconstitutional on this one as he has been on all key issues of the day in his 'premiership'.. Blair’s recent acknowledgement that the crossrail bill [now in the uk house of commons] had to be ‘handled sensibly’ showed the latest public confirmation that our campaign against Crossrail bill was affecting him and his unaccountable entourage.

Khoodeelaar! has been leading the campaign for both democratic accountability as well as for moral and ethical accountability from the elected holders of office in the inner city east end of london. This week's announcement that the chief officer in tower hamlets council was leaving was accompanied by another announcement of breathtaking immorality from Tony Blair’s establishment. Blair’s de facto salvaging of the career of Christine Gilbert via the Ofsted appointment is only significant as a peripheral indicator of how immoral his decision making is, contrary to the routine professions that he is at all a morally active ethically laudable decision maker… the central lesson is that his judgement is seriously flawed and that he is as anti-democratic and unconstitutional on this one as he has been on all key issues of the day in his 'premiership'.. Blair’s recent acknowledgement that the crossrail bill [now in the uk house of commons] had to be ‘handled sensibly’ showed the latest public confirmation that our campaign against Crossrail bill was affecting him and his unaccountable entourage. Weeks earlier, he had conceded that the crossrail bill was proving an unexpected liability when he was forced to shunt the crossrail bill minister Alistair darling off to the dti . He brought in a most unsuitable replacement in the form of Douglas alexander, who has no manifest democratic credentials to warrant any different treatment from the campaign against crossrail hole bill than had applied to his predecessor in post.blair has now shown a third admission that the crossrail bill is in trouble. He has got london mayor ken Livingstone to mount a counter to the khoodeelaar! Campaign against Crossrail hole bill Livingstone has teamed up with his apparent adversary, the monopoly london evening ‘newspaper’ the evening standard. But neither the EVENING STANARD editorial [2nd in a month] aimed at Gordon Brown nor the full page puff for Crossrail-hole-Ken makes any economic sense.The Crossrail hole Bill plugs are full of ‘planned economic growth’ and ‘planned benefits’ but they are way out of sync with the actual economic analysis.The UK economy is NOT growing. The world economic trends also discourage any hocus pocus exaggeration that Ken Livingstone is prone to making There is no justification for the Crsosrail hole line because the EXISTING railway infrastructure can be maintained and improved and added to with less cost to the pubic purse and within a shorter time than would be the case if a CrossRail line were to be constructed.that is the general objection.The local East End economy has no need for it. No demand for it.And the Crsosrail hole station at Whitechapel will NOT serve the local east End economic. It will be a link to take over the Eats End . By people who will target the area for economic takeover.Those facts are being confirmed again by some of the disclosures being heard before the formally sitting Crossrail Bill select committee.The more facts get confirmed, the more substance is lent to the Khoodeelaar! camapgn for the scrapping of the Crsosrail hole Bill.

Christine Gilbert is forced to confess to Council culture of falsification !

1600 Hrs GMT London saturday 6 december 2008



Christine Gilbert is forced to confess to the EXISTENCE of a forcefully active culture of falsification within the local Councils, typified on this occasion by the local council of Haringey.

She says so, according to the following report as published by Times online today [London Saturday 6 December 2008]:

I don’t know of ANY organ of the so-called mainstream British media - or of the so-called mainstream media in Britain - that paid [or is paying even now, two years on] ANY attention to the warning that I published on Indymedia to Tony Blair in 2006 asking him to not go ahead with the appointment of Gilbert to OFSTED.….

It is not obvious from the indications available so far that the MPs - who are staging THEIR own spin around OFSTED next week over the ‘outrage and concern’ that have been expressed after the tragedy of the Baby P began to become publicised - will make any signifiant progress away from the culture of entrenched corruption and self-serving parroting that has for DECADES in Britain dominated the proceedings of so many ‘political’ platforms allegedly acting for accountable public services.

Those forums are as corrupt and or as embarrassingly antidemocratic and thus rendered morally near bankrupt and constitutionally irrelevant as the PARTISAN front bench and the back bench [except two male and a female MPs] on the Brown fronted Blair side exhibited in the UK Houses of Parliament this past week on the matter of the arrest of an MP

Why?

One key reason is the agenda being propelled via the likes of the Guardian news organisation including its online spinning apparatus linked to the perpetuation of the culture of local council bureaucracies.... It is already apparent that there is a ‘salvage Christine `Gilbert’ operation afoot.…. And a deeper lobbying of the MPs is even more ferociously on, I can observe!

Ofsted claims part responsibility for Baby P's death
Simon Alford
The head of Ofsted has admitted the organisation needs to take some responsibility over the death of Baby P in Haringey and vowed she was "not washing her hands of it".

The 17-month-old boy died in August last year after months of abuse. His mother, her boyfriend and a third man Jason Owen have been convicted of causing or allowing his death.

The toddler was on the child protection register and the family had received numerous visits from social services, in north London, before he died.

In an inspection published in December of last year Ofsted, the independent inspector of children's services, ranked the council's work as "good".

Today Christine Gilbert, the chief inspector for education, children's services and skills, admitted mistakes had been made.

“I think if the grades that we gave last December gave a false assurance we have to take some responsibility for that," she said in an interview with The Guardian.

"That’s one of the reasons that I’m saying we’re looking again at our proposal (to reform inspection). We need to do all we can from our position so I’m not washing my hands of it.”

Ms Gilbert said Haringey Council may have been "hiding behind" false data to alter the ratings of child protection register system.

She also raised concerns that there may be other local authorities that also supplied incorrect information.

In a report published last week in to the death of Baby P Ms Gilbert said: “This inspection has identified serious concerns in relation to the safeguarding of children and young people in Haringey which need to be addressed as a priority.

"Haringey needs to take urgent action to ensure vulnerable children are properly protected.”
