And for this they deserve to be roundly condemned and their actions broadcast in detail to every corner of the land.<br /><br />They're oh so willing to condemn central government at every opportunity for treating them harshly compared to Tory councils in the south (for which they have some justification) but this is the other side of the coin - and a window into the abusive heart of the beast, which remains diseased and self-serving and focussed upon a crazed desire to manage its own reputation regardless of the adverse impact on vulnerable people.<br /><br />The AKA investigation had an opportunity to investigate councillors (those largely behind such bizarre conduct) but backed down - I think because it could have affected their own future income streams - they already had a prior affiliation with the council, and therefore, fortunes which will have rode upon the outcome of their own findings.<br /><br />The LGA whitewash has since granted the abusers renewed scope to ignore the public interest and to continue spiralling down into the gutter. Being amoral, they won't see or feel that, but the people they represent certainly will.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
