    Every ****ing thing they touch. <doh>

    Was Starmer any good at running a big public sector organisation?

    Starmer’s Dangerous Cuts at the Crown Prosecution Service

    Keir Starmer's tenure at the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has drawn significant criticism for his approach to reforming the organisation.

    Tasked with cutting services, he opted for the easiest route: slashing the highest-paid positions rather than engaging in meaningful structural reform.

    This decision demonstrated a lack of creative thought and a failure to consider the long-term implications of such cuts.

    By removing experienced staff, Starmer not only undermined the effectiveness of the CPS but also sacrificed invaluable institutional knowledge.

    His focus on immediate budgetary savings couched in corporate jargon, obscured the detrimental impact on the service and its personnel, ultimately reflecting a shallow understanding of the complexities involved in public sector reform.

    I understand, but don't you see, you are using the same brutality, albeit in a different mindset?

    Punishment of course, but with help to reform and who knows the real person may emerge, from their general malaise and become a decent citizen.

    Of course there are those that are beyond help. But a civil society should at least try.

    The Op tweet is mainly a bollox opinion.

    The father IS at fault for not seeking help when he stopped his son with a knife in the way to the school. By intervening at this point , through the authorities - be it police , school , social services , he MAY have stopped the attack on the girls he murdered .



    However , I doubt the specifically raised their son to be a traunt and or a terrorist .


    Utter nonsense


    The second tweet - would escaping the Rwanda genocide not be a valid reason for asylum ?

    Every time social services checked on Axel they needed to be accompanied by police as he was known for violence.

    The police didn't want to get involved just the same as for the muslim rape gangs. They've gone from beating up darkies for fun to not wanting to arrest darkies in 30/40 years. Where is the sensible middle ground?

    On the first point - social services had attended the house on numerous occasions in response to 'violent behaviour' - who called them? - might have been neighbours hearing a row - but might also have been the parents ...

    He called the second taxi from outside the house - the father overheard him calling the first one and stopped him ... he might well have stopped the second one if he'd heard it being ordered ...

    One day we might get to the bottom of some glaringly unanswered questions ...

    Herd immunity worked in every global pandemic in history. And covid is nothing like as deadly as some of those.

    The Swedes approach was the most sensible during the whole pandemic.

    Protect the immune compromised and not crash the economy

    Interesting

    My point re report to authorities is easy for me to say as

    1 - I don’t know what he did or did not do
    2 - I’ve not been in that situation

    Blaming the parents for his upbringing , like they taught him to stab wee lassies , is ****in bollox.

    If that’s factual , then they and social services failed the victims and should be held accountable.

    Yeah that was a **** show. Should be a public enquiry as to where a lot of money went and recouping of most of that money.

    Is it "enquiry" or "inquiry"?

    I think it should be "inquiry" but have never really been sure.

    I could look it up but I'm hoping some smarty pants on here knows the correct terminology off the top of their napper.
