Commissioners take over Rotherham Council

[Flanker7]

The use of stats always makes me suspicious.

 

BBC states - "Sir Derek will be lead commissioner and command fees of £800 a day, Ms Manzie will take the role of the managing director commissioner with an annual fee of £160,000 and Mr Newsam will be nominated as children's social care commissioner.

 

Ms Ney and Ms Kenny will be supporting commissioners. The latter three will all be paid fees of £700 a day.

 

Rotherham Council has been told it will be expected to pay the commissioners' fees plus any "reasonable expenses".

 

I assume that they word the pay in this way because they don't anticipate working a 5 day week.

This is what comes of politically correct labour nutters putting the feelings of the Asian community before protection of vulnerable children

 

...and this is the kind of rhetoric that spews venomously when people comment having not read the Jay Report fully, an oversight which will enable the other failures of those engaged in child protection to go unchallenged.

[percy filth]

The home helps,road sweepers, and school crossing wardens are the ones who are paying so as Pickles coherts can cash in on the Rotherham scandel.

Why did not the Government just sack the the Council and its officers and insist on a new local election while

 

 

barring the present incumbants from ever standing again.

 

Actually the scandal involes a council who allowed 1400 girls to be raped, then after the Jay Report failed to act. It isn't a scandal that someone is attempting to clean up the council. As far as I'm aware the commissioners have sacked the council in insisting that every seat on the council is re-elected. It is up to the electorate if they vote for the same chimps who let them down.

This is what comes of politically correct labour nutters putting the feelings of the Asian community before protection of vulnerable children, and you know what? Labour will still win the election in Rotherham.

 

The councillors and even the police, didn't want the inevitable grief from the UAF, Hope Not Hate and SWP etc etc. These deranged far left groups helped create a culture of silence and terror amongst people and organisations that needed to confront was going on.

Thank goodness for the EDL and UKIP, who are the only people who respectively have the intelligence and the bravery to combat the CSE scandal.

[Detetcive]

What a disgrace, this is what comes of voting Labour.

 

Hardly. Who's to say another party wouldn't have got in to this mess in the same circumstances?

 

However for the Rotherham politicians and officers, the humiliation is now complete.

 

...and by the way there are agency officers/consultants in Sheffield getting about the same amount with nowhere near the same level of responsibility as the Rotherham crew so this is not a surprise. If they turn the place round it will be money well spent

I think it is pretty clear that the council were frightened of upsetting the sensitivities of the asian community in Rotherham, and as a result turned a blind eye to the sexual abuse of 1400 underaged girls over more than a decade. That is certainly not something that UKIP would have done. Indeed I cannot imagine any other party except Respect that would have followed a policy like the council did in Rotherham.

Let's tackle your points in turn:

 

(1) The Pakistani community in Rotherham is just 8% of the population. Do you really think the council would upset the other 92% of the electorate just to appease the 8% ? No, me neither.

 

(2) The Police must take some of the blame too, since they also aware of the CSE problem, and did nothing to tackle the offenders.

 

(3) UKIP had a great opportunity to challenge the apathy of Rotherham councillors and the Police service when he visited the town to kick start UKIP's election campaign. Sadly, when faced with a dozen elderly placard-wielding protestors, Our Nige' ran away like a coward instead of debating the issue and hid behind the Police officers from the very same force that did nothing to prevent the abuse or arrest the CSE offenders.

 

So, what do you think UKIP would have done differently? I would love to know.

Is that their job though, or is it to run the council?
