    “King meets women’s cricket team that is not allowed to exist” BBC
    24831e20-6fc1-11f1-8b2e-bdb65bec8399.jpg.webp
    The King met the Afghan women’s cricket team and faced a tricky question
    ….
    Not allowed to exist …. Not allowed to exist ….
    …
    The inquiry team found examples of “children who had been doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight, threatened with guns, made to witness brutally violent rapes and threatened they would be next if they told anyone”.

    Just about every public service is now seen to be bent, corrupt, incompetent….you name it.
    Whether it’s today’s hospitals failings with mothers and children dying because of poor nhs service, the grooming gangs and all their helpers who looked away, the police arresting a fatally wounded lad and all the other things we are getting used to as being normal now.

    Does anyone know if ANY public service people have been charged, imprisoned or anything else (apart from eventually resigning, getting a golden handshake and then moving into another top job) because nobody ever seems to be found accountable.

    Lucy Letby may or may not be responsible for lots of baby deaths but something about that stinks and more are coming forward in her defence.

    They can spare the cost of a grooming gangs enquiry in London because there’s no gangs at all there. The man in charge with all his helpers and who has all the information at his fingertips hasn’t even heard of them and doesn’t know what they are.

    Do we have to wait until 2029 for these people to be brought to justice (although the Courts and Judges are also part of the problem and also need to be investigated)

    EG
    The only public body i can think of as remaining un corrupted by woke or just plain self interest is the airline industry and the CAA.
    From my small exposure to them they really do push for changes after ‘incidents ‘ and publish investigations – assessments and encourage a safety culture .

    I give thanks for that every time I fly – such as next week – if spared …

    But as I’ve written here before – the uk is far better at ‘inquiries ‘ than ever putting things right .

    How many other maternity units are destroying records as I write – following the publication of the Nottinghamshire report .

    The NHS attracts people with God complexes – which is fed by cultural deference to the medical mafia – I’d sell off the whole thing …. So that sinners can be fired / prosecuted ..

    Why are the media telling us to drink water in this hot weather, even my Dog knows that.

    Fed.
    Maybe the CAA is left alone and isn’t contaminated with the usual jobsworths because the people causing all the problems tend to fly a lot and it might affect them if they start messing about with it.
    You could say the same with hospitals but I think the same people (the so called ‘elite’) will all use private health care rather than take their chances with the nhs.
