Why is that Al?

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Fri 27 May 2011, 14:45, Reply)

Because it always appeared to me that she was being made the scapegoat for generally poor state of social services
caused by lack of funding and the fact that the media blew this up into a massive witch hunt.

On the other hand she oversaw a fundamentally flawed department
and must therefore take ultimate responsibilty for its actions.

It certainly is actions. I agree.

When you have 'connections at Windsor' as I do, you can talk to them however you like.

Staring at Bab's tits does not count as connections

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Fri 27 May 2011, 14:59, Reply)

I'm going to do this all the time from now on

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 27 May 2011, 14:54, Reply)

What, use correct grammar?

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 27 May 2011, 14:58, Reply)

That and simply correct things making you look stupid

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 27 May 2011, 15:01, Reply)

As head of the department, she should have taken more responsibility

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Fri 27 May 2011, 14:49, Reply)

Well, I think the judgement today says that wasn't the case.

(Bazongaloid, Fri 27 May 2011, 14:53, Reply)

Doesn't mean it is right though
I'm not after her being sacked but she seemed to wash her hands of it all
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Fri 27 May 2011, 14:56, Reply)

But you don't know all the details of the case
The point she made was that they produced a report and before she had even had a chance to see it, she was sacked, effectively on live TV, purely to appease the Tabloids, rather than going through the proper process.
(Bazongaloid, Fri 27 May 2011, 14:59, Reply)

This is different to whether she should have been sacked though
This is a question of procedure
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 27 May 2011, 15:01, Reply)

I read that as 'appease the Tayyabs'

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 27 May 2011, 15:04, Reply)

Best plan

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Fri 27 May 2011, 15:11, Reply)

Particularly with their close ties to the East London Mosque.

Not only being kiiled, but no more lamb chops
DOUBLE FAIL

I agree with this

I reckon the little cunt deserved it anyway.
With his blond fucking hair and that face.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 27 May 2011, 14:49, Reply)

Yeah, the little fucking shit

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Fri 27 May 2011, 14:52, Reply)

YEAH.

I just can't believe that they never got round to shoving batteries up his arse
and lieing him across some railway tracks, amateurs

Problem is she looks like a bitch
