NHS lies to its own staff………?
Sometimes it’s gloss, other times it’s spin but on other occasions it’s downright lies. That’s England’s NHS for you. A management culture so dire that it’s full of cover-ups, fiddling of waiting lists and gagging of whistleblowers. This corrupt culture … Continue reading

That’s NOT the way to do it
Police morale and motivation is at an all-time low. I know this not just from media reports but also from direct discussions with many serving officers. Indeed Lord Stevens who is leading a review into the future of policing is … Continue reading

Conservatives start to line up to criticise idea of politicians as Police Commissioners…..
It is clear that many politicians, from all parties, do not like the idea of Police Commissioners being drawn from their own ranks. They believe it is essential that that such posts should not become ‘politicised’; however it is equally … Continue reading
