Hello

I heard that there was a vote of no confidence in her in this new role but that some one (Ed Balls) over ruled and put her in anyway – I cannot remember where I read this but will try to scan through my history to find this, unless any one else is aware?

Didn’t Birmingham children’s services receive a bad report for failing fifteen children who died the same year as Khyra? Failures in children’s services were directly criticised as letting these children down.

By choosing *one* of these deaths and blaming home educators in such a spectacular way, without being challenged at all in the select committee, she has diverted attention from the appalling situation in Birmingham in order to focus on scare stories about a minority group about whom most people appear to be ignorant and, often, prejudiced. So, she gets away with it while the fourth estate fail to engage their thinking, simply repeating propaganda and lies.

We just need a few people in the right place at the right time to turn things around and journalists pointing out the nakedness of the Emperor’s clothing would be a good start. If only

She’s an Ed Balls stooge pure and simple. She may be ignorant of the law or purposefully lying but in the end it hardly matters because she’ll do whatever Ed tells her legal or not and the truth be damned. The Committee were right to reject her for a lack of independence.
