DOCTOR, DOCTOR!....... IT FEELS AS IF MY HEAD IS FULL OF AIR!!

 Oldham's own pint sized  Big Brother contestant Keeley Johnson has been injured in the house.Keeley, who has 'dated' SOME of Manchester's best footballers and actors and has been given awards, was taken to hospital suffering from severe carpet burns to both knees. She says she has great self belief and has achieved everything she has ever aimed for in life. Apart that is from position 23a. The Spider.
It was whilst attempting this, admittedly difficult manoeuvre with Corin and Rachel that they got all their legs crossed and they found themselves unable to connect to the web!

MORE WORLD NEWS AS IT HAPPENS!

WHO CARES IF THE CARERS DON'T??

This is Mrs Zofia Henry. Admitted to ward G2  at Royal Oldham Hospital with a viral infection she died five weeks later of pneumonia. During her spell in the hell-hole that is G2, Mrs Henry was not given the steroids she has been taking for twenty-five years to combat asthma, her diabetes was not controlled and a fracture in her back was not diagnosed. John Saxby who claims to be chief executive of PAT apologised profusely saying treatment was deficient in many aspects. A sister had been removed from the ward for intensive re-education and retraining, but he said the ultimate outcome was not likely to have been affected. The PAT stumped up  £5,000 in compensation to Mrs Henry's family.
 It may just be me, but I think treatment was deficient in all aspects. Disgraceful would be a better description.
Why has a sister been removed from the ward for intensive re-education and retraining? Why was the sister promoted to the post when obviously, and admittedly not up to the task? When one becomes a sister we, the public, expect that person to have already had extensive training and education. Presumably it will all be swept quietly under the carpet now and sister will be back in charge when on these facts she should not be in a job right now. What about the rest of the nursing staff on G2? They are all complicit in this litany of neglect and incompetency. Saxby's claim that the outcome was not likely to have been affected by Mrs Henry's treatment beggars belief. If any of you come across this obnoxious turd bleeding to death on the street, ignore him, it won't affect the outcome. Will it?
The sooner this paper shuffling, empire-building, know nothing bunch of placemen and tit-suckers are swept away, the better!

DUTY OF CARE .............MY ARSE!!!

CRIME FIGURES FALL! ........INCREDULITY RISES!

 David Gauke, the new Exchequer Secretary, travelled to Oldham Police station yesterday to talk to local officers about their new crime-fighting hub.  Sgt Rob Howarth tells  Treasury Minister David Gauke: 'The thieving bastards in this town will steal anything not nailed down, including this 32inch flat screen TV.'  Fuck me! where has it gone I had it in me 'and a moment ago.
Guess you'll need a crime number then, sarge!

Anyone able to help the police with their inquiries, please turn up Wednesday morning at about 10 or 11 o'clock. We'll go for a drive round town see if we can spot it.

Is the display on the wall similar to Countdown, i.e. one from the top row, one from the second row  and two from the third row?

Lord Piecrust of Mount Temple - on - D'esque.

'I don't want to be a member of the House of Lords. I will not accept it,'

John  Prescott, 2009

So here we have the fat, lying, ignorant, work-shy, greedy, secretary-shagging, useless piece of shit. What is he doing? You've guessed it!  We see two weasels at work. One, dead but still honourable is draped around the neck of the other despicable, cheating, money grabbing animal. Oh, that the first was still alive and could sink it's fangs into the pie lined jugular of the second. 
What of the fragrant Lady Piecrust. She who condoned his sexual adventures in office in order to get her hands on the grubby ermine? What does that say of her morals?  What did she think he was up to when he told her he was 'just slipping into the Temple?'   The other Lords and Ladies will probably welcome them with open arms when they realise he rode into the place on a strumpet with a harlot in tow? At least he should feel at home among those other two members of the criminal class Lord Fondlebum of Boy with two strikes against his name and Baron Martin of Springburn. The latter was strangely enough, Speaker of the House, even though he could barely speak, was unintelligible when he did so, but was a dab hand at expenses and allowances.
What an array of glittering talent from the late unlamented  shite Labour Government.
What a bloody state this country is in! Why do we persist in tolerating these useless tossers? Why do we not decry their constant thievery, deviousness, lies, self congratulatory awards, honours and the way they treat the citizens of this once great state as if we were shite on their shoes?

THEY ARE ALL IGNOBLE WANKERS UNDESERVING OF ANY REWARD OR RECOGNITION!

HOW CAN ANYONE 'HONOUR' THESE CORRUPT, SELF-SERVING PARASITES.

AWAY WITH THE LOT OF THEM!

ALL WIND AND PISS!

 In order to rush through plans for The Oasis Academy on the former Brook Mill site, off Hollins Road, plans for the two wind turbines on the site have been removed in the face of probable objections from local residents.  But they could be put forward as a separate planning application in the future. Do you wanna bet on it?
Several letters of objection raised concerns over parking, congestion on Hollins Road, highway safety after a number of car accidents involving children, anti-social behaviour and a loss of green land.
Objector Ian Catherall said no thought had been given to residents and there could be 750 vehicles at peak times dropping children off, nowhere for parents to park and no benefits for local youths who will be left on street corners.
He added: “It’s a complete loss of our village green.”

Rob Hopkins, (Who he?)  for the applicant, said he was confident it would cope with traffic volume. He said it would create world-class sports facilities and would have an excellent energy rating. That doesn't answer the fucking question on how it would cope with traffic volume. How does he know it will cope? What is he basing his waffle on? What research has he done on the impact of up to 750 vehicles all descending on Hollins Road at the same time? This is more typical planning guff. Distract everyone with 'good news' and talk down the negative impact on a locality in the hope the grateful locals will miss the devil in the detail. All the 150 proposed parking spaces will be taken by teaching and administrative staff and will probably prove inadequate.
The whole academy fiasco is nothing more than ego massaging for certain councillors in this town, too thick to see the pitfalls of their overweening self importance. To quote one:  Councillor Gushforth said: “Everything about the building is fabulous.”  Well it may be, apart from one small matter. It's in the wrong fucking place!!!
When the question of wind turbines is slid back before the planning committee and everyone has been lulled into a state of complacency,  here are a couple of cautionary tales to ponder.

A homeowner has been ordered to switch off his £20,000 wind turbine following complaints from neighbours that it is too loud.
 
Father-of-three Stephen Munday, 55, erected the 40ft device with planning permission in a paddock behind his home two years ago.
It generates five kilowatts of electricity a day - the equivalent of boiling 300 kettles - and provides two thirds of his energy needs. It is situated 300ft from the nearest house.
But when neighbours complained of a high-pitched hum coming from the turbine Stephen was issued with a Noise Abatement Order by his local council and told to switch it off or risk a £5,000 fine and Anti-Social Behaviour Order.
The Daily Telegraph reported that the electrician appealed the decision but magistrates upheld the ruling and ordered him to pay £5,392 court costs.  read more...

  A primary school has been forced to switch off a £20,000 wind turbine because it keeps killing passing seabirds.

The rotary blades on the 30ft (9m) structure have struck at least 14 birds in the past six months.
The turbine, at Southwell Community Primary School, Portland, was installed 18 months ago thanks to a grant from the Department of Energy and Climate Change.
It provided six kilowatts of power an hour, but its performance was overshadowed by the number of birds killed - far higher than the one fatality per year predicted by the manufacturer.  read more...

LIKE CAESAR'S WIFE.....

 This brave bastard is Daniel Adams. Last September after boozing in Uppermill he abandoned his car, with two female passengers inside, in Saddleworth cemetery car park, after being approached by a traffic police officer. He ran away and was not apprehended until some five hours later. His defence for this, at his trial in April for wilfully obstructing a traffic police officer, PC Scott, in the execution of his duties, was that he didn't know it was a police car, and on turning to face the officer when getting out of his car, didn't realise he was a police officer and did not hear PC Scott  call for him to stop. He also denied seeing any flashing blue lights. He was found guilty and ordered to pay £1,100 in fines and costs. Adams was of previous good character and was supported by work colleagues. But this week he resigned from his job rather than face an inquiry from his bosses. His job? Did I not mention that? He was a police officer!  He got a glowing testimonial from Rochdale’s chief superintendent who commented on his diligence while working on restricted duties since the trial in APRIL!
Why does this need any thought or inquiries? Why was he still in the job in June? Adams was tried, found guilty and convicted of an offence. Why did work colleagues and the chief superintendent heap praise upon him? After all what he did was against what a police officer is supposed to stand for. Did PC Scott and the officers who arrested him at five o'clock in the morning have any regard for him? For any serving police officer to have committed these offences surely puts him outside the pale.  The praise heaped upon him by work colleagues and the chief superintendent surely points to a lack of judgement on their part.

  THIS HAS BEEN A RUFFYED RANT!

BIRDS OF A FEATHER......... A WORD FROM RUFFYED!

 Here we go again! On Sept 22 2009 it was reported that the OFT had fined 103 companies £129.5M for collusion and their part in a bid rigging scam.  These companies were involved in the construction industry. The infringements affected building projects across England worth in excess of £200m including SCHOOLS, universities, hospitals, and numerous private projects from the construction of apartment blocks to housing refurbishments.  In March we reported that the fuckwit council  had appointed one of these bad boys, Willmott Dixon, to build our much anticipated academies. Now they've gone and done it again!  Oldham Council’s Cabinet formally approved the decision on Friday to appoint contractor Balfour Beatty Education to carry out the multi-million-pound overhaul of Oldham’s crumbling secondary schools in what could potentially be a £170 million deal. What the fuck is it with OMBC?  Do they feel more at home dealing with fellow crooks? Are there envelopes stuffed with cash floating around? Is it their intention to wade through all 103 of the bent bastards? If so if they contact me I can give them a full list of names and the fines imposed. Just to remind you Willmott Dixon were fined £4.5M and Balfour Beatty £5.2M, not insignificant amounts, suggesting they were among the big players in this scam. I repeat my question from my previous post on this matter.  Do you think OMBC have the slightest fucking clue how much these projects should really cost?  Is everyone in this town so anaesthetised by the awfulness of our surroundings, that we have ceased to care what the fucking talentless twats do next? Why is this town always associated with the sleaziest news? To answer my own question, it's probably because we have the sleaziest bunch of grifters in charge.

THIS HAS BEEN A RUFFYED RANT.

NHS BOSSES SHELL OUT £16M ON MORE TREATMENT THAT NEVER HAPPENED.

42 MILLION QUID & COUNTING

Fuck me! They are still at it.  another £16m paid for operations that never happened.

 Health bosses, who wasted more than £26m of a £70m contract with South African firm Netcare over the past five years, promised to learn from mistakes. But new figures show about two-thirds of the treatment agreed with another private company Care UK has not taken place.

GPs were supposed to refer 85,500 patients to two mobile units moving around six sites in Greater Manchester each year, but just 25,500 people went to the service in its first year.

Under the new seven-year contract – negotiated and signed by the Department of Health – the region’s 10 health trusts paid for each operation that Care UK performed each month. But at the end of the year they were given a bill for underperformance and made to pay for the rest of their ‘quota’ of treatment.

LOOK AT THAT FIGURE AGAIN FOLKS

£42,000,000 - - -FORTY TWO MILLION FUCKING POUNDS OF OUR MONEY. PISSED UP THE WALL BY THE CLUELESS PAPER SHUFFLING TWATS, WITH THE BRAINPOWER OF A CARROT, AS THEY SIT SMIRKING IN THEIR PRIVATE LITTLE EMPIRES.

THIS JOKE HAS GOT TO STOP. 
This is our money being squandered. What has been revealed is probably only the tip of the iceberg. These people are unfit for purpose and should be removed forthwith. These quangos with their political placemen playing Doctors and Nurses need sweeping away now.

Just think what healthcare we COULD have got for FORTY-TWO MILLION QUID if we had people who cared and understood their 'duty of care,' rather than these parasites whose only 'care' is how much moolah they can squeeze out of us fools. I for one am sick of seeing their mugshots smirking at us in the local press as they congratulate themselves on doing a wonderful job and how proud they are to have been re-appointed to their gold plated positions.

Has anyone any idea how much of our money the Pennine Acute Trust swallows each year?

Is it more or less than the cost of maintaining twenty-three beds?

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU CARED! - - - - - I STILL DON'T!

Following on from the previous posting, read this report from the Oldham Advertiser on an inquest held recently in Oldham. This is the Pennine Acute Trusts version of a duty of care. This is the piss poor organisation headed by the grinning pillock below. This by the way is the same PPO  which recently announced the axing of 23 beds to 'save money'. What the fuck has he to be proud of? What the fuck has he got to smile about?  What fucking use is he and the rest of the quangocracy as they sit vacuously in their fancy offices, filling their boots with our money?

Apology over 'abandoned' patient's death

Mike Keegan Oldham Advertiser

June 08, 2010

Health chiefs have apologised and paid a five-figure compensation sum to the family of a man who was abandoned at a hospital after suffering fatal head injuries.
Arnold Siddall, 47, from Failsworth, was taken to casualty after he fractured his skull during a row outside a bar. But an inquest heard that rather than receiving the treatment that could have saved his life, he was left to wander around the grounds of the Royal Oldham Hospital for 12 hours before eventually being picked up by police. He suffered a fit in the back of a van.  He was taken back to the hospital but died two days later.
As the inquest into Mr Siddall’s death opened at Oldham County Court, the M.E.N. discovered bosses from Pennine Acute Trust apologised to Mr Siddall’s family and paid them compensation after they threatened legal action. 

Mr Siddall, a welder, was pushed over and hit his head on the pavement after going to complain about noise at The Lock bar in Failsworth in 2007.

Paramedics took him to the hospital where he was seen by ambulance triage nurse Joanne Pendleton.

She told the inquest that she did not record that Mr Siddall had suffered a head injury on medical records, only that he seemed intoxicated.

Mr Siddall, who had been drinking earlier that evening, was marked as a priority 3 patient – to be seen within an hour.

But he told staff he wanted to go home and despite falling back into a wheelchair he had been put in, was able to walk out. Security staff told the inquest Mr Siddall was spotted at various points in the hospital grounds until 4.20 that afternoon.

Guards approached Mr Siddall, who had two brothers and four sisters, but thought he was drunk. One saw him fall to the ground with his head in his hands and another time noticed he had vomited but doctors were not told.

Pennine Acute Trust declined to comment on the payout.

Twelve hours  wandering the hospital grounds? And nobody noticed apart from sundry 'security guards' who spent the day spotting Mr Siddall all around the hospital but raised no alarm. He must also have been spotted by several medical personnel. Did anyone care? Did anyone obtain help for the unfortunate man? Why did it take the police 12 hours to pick him up?
Bosses from PAT 'apologised and paid compensation after being threatened with legal action. Is this what they consider to be 'A Duty Of Care?'  Pennine Acute Trust declined to comment on the payout.. I bet they fucking did. Not a great deal they can say is there? 

The grinning pillock Jesky seen below is one of those 'bosses.' Do we want an utter twat like him in charge of a supposedly caring organisation? Do we want to give him £100,000 of our money to preside over fuck-ups like this? 

I don't know about you folks but I certainly don't. So my message to Mr 'Proud to be re-appointed' Jesky is.....FUCK OFF YOU USELESS PRICK!!!

IT'S ONLY MONEY!

 This inanely grinning Japanese sniper we are told is one, John Jesky. He tells us he is delighted to have been re-appointed as chairman of the Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, for a further four year term. 

This is the Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, part of NHS Manchester that was revealed only last week to have 'wasted'  £26 Million of our money, paying a private firm for operations that never took place. Just take a minute for that to sink in. We are not talking £26Million overspent on patient care to reduce waiting lists. We are not talking £26Million overspent on more nurses and cleaners in the local hospitals. We are not talking £26Million overspent on hospital admissions and treatment. What we are talking is £26Million of our money handed to a private company for doing nothing. These fucking brainboxes, including this wanker who had a career in the 'food industry', (he couldn't run a chip shop), contracted with South African company, Netcare, to carry out 9,000 operations a year at a cost of £70Million. The dimfucks used fewer than two thirds of the 9,000 contracted for, but under the terms of the contract had to pay for the lot. This tells us all we need to know about the business acumen of these Labour Quango placemen. For the same £26Million we could have employed 1,000 nurses for a year. We could have employed 2,000 cleaners for a year, God knows we need 'em. We could have funded 100,000 overnight stays in hospital. The Wolfson Molecular Imaging Centre in south  Manchester, one of the most advanced cancer research units in the world, cost less to set up. This is a criminal waste of our resources by talentless tossers who have no concept of the meaning of 'care provision' the only thing these chair polishing paper pushers are interested in taking care of is the expansion and protection of their own little empires. We are told the gurning twat pictured here is to receive almost £23,500 p.a. for the next four years of of piss poor part-time work. That's nearly another £100,000 of our money gone on non-essentials. There is scope hear for some huge savings to be made. These quangoes are bleeding us dry. It is time for a cull of all the hangers-on with no relevant experience, the paper pushers, the 'official spokespersons" and the political appointees enjoying the overblown rewards for past favours. Responsibility, accountability and most of all ability are what we need. Did you vote for the vacuous twat to have four more years? Were you asked your opinion on a bunch of pricks who think nothing of simply throwing away £26Million of our money? Who did re-appoint him? I think we know the answer to that question.
