Brighton and Hove Council's Clusterfuck Parking Fee Contract


Those of you who would like to study a textbook example of council incompetence, should read the article in Brighton and Hove News about how Brighton and Hove council managed to end up being owed £3.2M by a company (CCI) that was hired to collect parking fees that went bust.

Several "ironies" are obvious within this clusterfuck:

1 The council did not have insurance! Colour me stupid, but don't councils always bang on to everyone else about needing insurance for absolutely everything?

2 The company was meant to pay money over to the council within 10 days of collection. It didn't, and the debt built up over 3 months. How is it the paid "professionals" in the council didn't see this as a warning sign of trouble?

3 The council renewed the 3 year contract in February 2014, even though there were obvious signs of trouble.

4 The council’s previous cash collections contractor also went bust.

5 CCI was set up by a former Metropolitan Police officer, John Baker, and his wife Doreen, in 1981. He, and his daughter, have now been arrested.


Here is an extract of the full story :
"The company that collected cash from parking machines around Brighton and Hove went bust owing the council £3.2 million.

The loss was not insured and Brighton and Hove City Council is unable to tell what chance it has of recovering the unsecured debt. It is believed to be unlikely to receive more than £25,000.

An audit report to councillors pointed out that at one point Coin Co International (CCI) owed the council more than £4.7 million.

The debt built up over several months even though CCI was contracted to deposit any cash that it collected within ten days.

Officials said that lessons had been learnt but declined to say whether anyone had been held to account over the loss when quizzed by councillors this week.

CCI was paid almost £300,000 a year to collect more than £11 million cash from parking meters and £8 million cash from council offices and schools. The company also handled £21 million in cheques.
It was allowed to hang on to the funds for up to ten days, enabling it to earn interest on top of the fees paid by the council. The money should have been paid into a separate and safe account by CCI but it wasn’t.

Officials briefed the council’s Audit and Standards Committee at Portslade Town Hall on Tuesday (22 September).

For the second time in three months, members of the committee expressed disbelief at the turn of events.

They were told that this was an unusual case yet the council’s previous cash collections contractor – Estate Security Southern – also went bust. The Kent company won the £1 million three-year contract in August 2006......

..In January this year about 90 officers from the National Crime Agency (NCA) swooped in a series of co-ordinated raids at six Sussex properties, including CCI’s offices.

The NCA said: “Five people have been arrested as part of a major joint investigation into the supply and importation of counterfeit pound coins worth around £1.2 million.

“On the morning of Tuesday 27 January around 90 officers from the National Crime Agency executed warrants at six locations in the Sussex area.

“They arrested four men and a woman at five different addresses on suspicion of importation, money laundering and offences under the Forgery Act.

“Searches were also carried out at a business premises in the Burgess Hill area.

“Accompanying NCA investigators were officers from the Dutch fraud investigation service FIOD and an expert from the Royal Mint.

“A number of items have been seized and the investigation continues.”

National Crime Agency senior investigating officer Steve McIntyre said: “These arrests and searches were the latest phase of an ongoing international investigation looking into the supply of fake currency from the Netherlands to the UK.

“This investigation follows the closure of a Dutch mint suspected of manufacturing counterfeit coins in November 2013.

“This element of the inquiry is focused on the alleged importation and laundering of coins worth around £1.2 million and we will continue to work closely with our colleagues in the Netherlands and the Royal Mint.

You couldn't make this up if you tried!

I have no doubt that this sort of bollocks is going on the length and breadth of the country.

Councils are quick to blame central government for funding problems, yet it is quite clear that when it comes to money councils are farking clueless, incompetent and on occasions corrupt!

Prats of The Week - University of East Anglia Student Union


Well knock me down with a feather, it is time to award another prestigious Prats of The Week Award.

This time it goes to the University of East Anglia Student Union.

For why?

For banning students from getting free sombreros from a local Tex-Mex restaurant.

For why?

Seemingly sombreros are "racist"!

Students were being given free sombreros at a freshers' fair by a local Tex-Mex restaurant, in a bid to drum up business, before they were ordered to stop; because it violated cultural appropriation rules.

Not content with merely banning the distribution of the sombreros, University of East Anglia student union officials also requisitioned (ie stole) the big floppy hats from students at the Freshers' Fair.

It is somewhat ironic that sombreros offered by a restaurant that sells Mexican food are deemed to be racist. Maybe the hapless restaurant should have handed out bowler hats instead?

Campaigns and Democracy officer (whatever that means?) Chris Jarvis is quoted by the Telegraph:
"We know that when it comes to cultural appropriation the issues can sometimes be difficult to understand and many don't realise that they may be about to cause offence or break a policy. 

So we're discussing internally how we can improve our briefing to both external organisations and our own members so that people aren't caught out at the last minute.

At the SU we want all members feel safe and accepted, so at all events we try to ensure that there is no behaviour, language or imagery which could be considered racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic or ableist."
I assume that all Speedy Gonzales films are banned by the union too?

The University of East Anglia Student Union, well deserving Prats of The Week!

Fuckwits - Anarchists Attack Cafe

 
As per the Guardian:
"Hundreds of protesters attacked a cereal cafe in east London on Saturday night, daubing the word “scum” on the shop window and setting fire to an effigy of a police officer.

Riot police were called in to defend the Cereal Killer Cafe in Shoreditch after it was targeted by a large crowd of anti-gentrification activists carrying pigs’ heads and torches.

The owners of the cafe, which has been seen by some as a symbol of inequality in east London, said on Sunday that the attack left customers including children “terrified for their lives”.
Gary Keery, 33, who founded the cafe with his twin brother, Alan, said: “It’s senseless violence, isn’t it? We’ve had some letters through the letterbox saying ‘die hipsters’ and stuff but nothing to this extreme. It just doesn’t make sense.” 

Footage of the attack filmed from inside the shop and obtained by the Guardian shows masked protesters shouting outside the shopfront. One man daubs graffiti on the window while another is seen holding a burning stick."
How exactly trying to burn down a cafe resolves the housing crisis is beyond my limited intelligence.

Maybe someone can explain it to me?

Knobhead of The Millennium - Kerry McCarthy


Kudos to Corbyn for appointing Knobhead of The Millennium, Kerry McCarthy, as Shadow Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

McCarthy is a vegan and recently told Viva!life, a magazine for vegans:
"I really believe that meat should be treated in exactly the same way as tobacco, with public campaigns to stop people eating it. 

Progress on animal welfare is being made at EU level … but in the end it comes down to not eating meat or dairy.

The constant challenging of the environmental impact of livestock farming is making me more and more militant, not least that CAP payments are available for grouse shooting, controlling buzzards and forestry."
FFS!

These people shouldn't be allowed out in public on their own, let alone be placed in positions of responsibility.

Kerry McCarthy, well deserving Knobhead of The Millennium!

The Fallout From #VWGate


As loyal readers know, there have been many discussions on this site about pollution, and Nanny's obsession with certain types of pollution whilst ignoring others (eg trails from airplanes that quite clearly cause a haze in the skies above our heads).

Anyhoo, returning swiftly to terra firma, it cannot have escaped your notice that Volkswagon is undergoing a rather torrid time at he moment wrt its global emissions fraud affecting at least 11 million diesel cars (and possibly petrol ones as well).

This scandal does also relate to another issue that we have often discussed on this site, namely dodgy scientific "research" and data.

Given the scale and wholesale deception here, one wonders what other products/modes of transport/drugs etc etc have been given Nanny's "all clear" on the basis of falsified test results/data?

The lawyers and claims industry are going to have a field day with this!

Duty To Assist?

The Telegraph reports that four police officers who were flagged down by a store manager in December 2014, as his colleague detained a thief just feet away allegedly said they were "not kitted up" to help and drove away.

Merseyside Police PCs Jonathan Webb, Mark Higgins, Joanne Parr and Paul Birch had been travelling in a police car in Liverpool when they were flagged down by Tesco deputy store manger David Markey.

He asked them for help as a security officer Shaun Rigby apprehended the thief - named Fagan - in the road after fleeing the shop. Mr Rigby was assaulted by Fagan "kicking or kneeing" him in the head.

The officers are subject to a misconduct hearing after allegedly declining to help. They all deny that they breached standards of professional behaviour.

The hearing will last around four days.

US Nanny Arrests Schoolboy For Homemade Clock


Sadly in the USA, levels of paranoia about terrorism have reached new heights as Ahmed Mohamed can attest to.

Ahmed, a 14 year old student at MacArthur High in Irving, took a homemade clock to school to show his teachers.

Unfortunately, instead of being impressed, the school phoned police about Ahmed’s circuit-stuffed pencil case. The police duly arrived, and took Ahmed, in handcuffs, to juvenile detention.

Police are now considering charging him with making a hoax bomb, even though they have acknowledged that he told everyone that it’s a clock.

Call me picky here, but if the police/school really thought it was a bomb, why the hell didn't they evacuate the school and call bomb disposal?


This sounds like a bunch of people, having realised that they have made fools of themselves, now desperately trying to cover their own backsides.

Aldi's Walk In The CoUNTry

Aldi's Gourmet Crackers

Oh dear, commiserations to Aldi for not looking at its labelling for its gourmet crackers closely enough.

Its new luxury brand of cheese biscuits were caught in a firestorm of social media protest, after it accidentally spelt the C-word.

The store's gourmet crackers, under its Specially Selected range, promises customers "deliciously thin and crispy crackers" in an "English country garden".

The graphic design choice highlighted the "C" word.

The packaging of the crackers has since been amended.

US Nanny's Solution To The Syrian Migration Crisis


Gen John Allen, special presidential envoy for the US-led coalition fighting the Islamic State (IS) group, has stated that ending the conflict in Syria and Iraq is key to solving the migrant crisis facing Europe.

He said that IS had to be defeated, and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad "had to go".

All very well and insightful, maybe. However, aside form the fact that had we not destabilised Syria ion the first place none of this would be happening, as far as I can see neither of those two mission statements look like being fulfilled anytime in the next few years.

More to the point Russia is stepping in to support Assad, are we upping the ante to go to war in Syria with IS, Assad and Russia?

Won't that displace even more people?

Global Warming - Shite Weather Predictions


In a moment of deja vu, the Express feels we are going to have yet another freezing cold winter (which, actually, we didn't have last year).

I dare say, if they keep repeating this year in and year out one year they may be right!

Meanwhile the organisation that got this summer's weather predictions wrong (the Met), and has been sacked by the BBC for being crap, has predicted that the next two years COULD be the hottest on record globally.

I assume both the Express and the Met will be wrong. Hence prepare for a mild winter and a shit summer!

The Rise of The EU Superstate


I see that European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker has announced plans that he says will offer a "swift, determined and comprehensive" response to Europe's migrant crisis.

Which of course they won't, as millions more are on the move.

Under the proposals, 120,000 additional asylum seekers will be distributed among EU nations, with binding quotas.

He also proposed that those who are admitted into countries be given the right to work, before they are vetted and given the clearance to stay in that country.

This of course represents a rewriting of EU rules, and an undermining of the rights of nation states within the EU.

Whatever the moral issues are wrt helping those who are leaving countries torn apart by war or economic chaos, using the plight of these people as a means of enhancing the powers of the EU is a pretty loathsome thing to do even by Juncker's drunken standards.

Beware the rise of the EU superstate snuck in on the backs of people's genuine compassion!

Charity Scam


Way back in July I mused about whether "charities" were really "charities" or in fact businesses.

It seems clear to me that most are in fact businesses, as verified by reports that The Information Commissioner's Office is looking into claims that an 87-year-old man's personal details were sold or passed on by charities up to 200 times.

The BBC recently reported that that Samuel Rae, who has dementia, lost £35,000 after his information ended up with scammers.

How did the scammers get his information?

The information was passed to charities when Mr Rae filled in a survey, but did not tick a box stating that he did not want his personal details shared.

Former army colonel Mr Rae is said to have been contacted by and asked for money by charities more than 730 times after his data was repeatedly sold.

Call me "picky", but that in my view is harassment of the worst sort!

Charities contacted him for up to five years after he had asked them to stop, with some requesting money as many as 38 times in a year.

Steve Eckersley, of the Information Commissioner's Office, said:
"If charities are buying and selling personal information without any thought of the wishes of the people involved, it suggests not only a disregard for the law, but also a disconnect with the supporters whose generosity they rely on."

Many charities have morphed into businesses, and have lost sight of what they were created to do and who they are meant to serve.

Saint Jamie’s Sugar Rush

Saint Jamie of Oliver was on TV last night proselytising against the evils of sugar.

All very well and fine, given that some people consume bucket loads of the stuff and have clearly damaged their health.

However, in a free country, we are all entitled to go to the devil in our own way.

Notwithstanding that, Saint Jamie intends to put a sugar tax on sugary drinks in his restaurants. In theory the extra monies raised will be used for good works against the "evil" sugar.

That aside I draw your attention to Saint Jamie's recipes:
Oh, and while we are at it, take a look at the salt content in his branded sauces!

Go On, Have a Fag!


It seems that Nanny has got herself into a wee bit of a tizzy over e fags.

On the one side she wants them prescribed on the NHS, on the other (according to The Lancet) research that showed how nice e fags are was biased.

My thanks to Dick Puddlecote for alerting me to the the further confusion within Nanny's ranks, as evidenced by PHE's rebuttal of The Lancet.

It seems to me that the issue is now so stressful, that Nanny and everyone else should just chill out and have a fag!

Nanny's Dodgy E Fags Advice


Less than a fortnight ago I wrote that Nanny was considering prescribing e fags on the NHS:
"Nanny has had something of a volte farce recently over e fags (or vaps as they are sometimes referred to).

Despite earlier misgivings about e fags being to "route to smoking", Nanny has now decreed that e fags are the route to "salvation" from smokers.


Public Health England asked a group of "experts" (pass the sick bag someone) to study "evidence". Their conclusion was that e fags are 95% less harmful than tobacco. This is amusingly ironic, given that in Wales the government there wants to ban e fags in public.

Anyhoo, that aside, Nanny is now considering prescribing e fags on the NHS."
Now here's the funny thing, it transpires that Public Health England based its recommendation on a study conducted in 2014 by scientists in the pay of the e-cigarette industry. 
 
The Lancet revealed that three of the 11 authors of the original study were paid advisors for the e-cigarette industry. The editors of the journal European Addiction Research even issued a warning alongside the article saying there was a ‘potential conflict of interest.’

PHE failed to declare the warning when they presented findings to journalists at a briefing in London.

Funny that!
