Whistle Blowers’ Refuge Area

whistleblower@laughingcavalier.co.uk

We have had several approaches now from whistleblowers in the Civil Service, the NHS, the Armed Forces and Town Halls. We very much welcome these. Clearly these public servants are public spirited too because they are as outraged as the rest of us at waste of taxpayers’ money, political correctness and arrogance by their masters (or mistresses, if you see what we mean).

One particularly salty contribution was made to us by an employee of one of the Regional Development Agencies, who alleged that there was a colossal amount of  waste, duplication and plain bungling by these creatures of that admirable polymath, John Prescott. (Did we mean “polymath” or did we really mean “dead parrot who can’t do simple arithmetic”?). “Huge budgets, huge expenses, no tangible results” was his view.

Yet another claim came from a contractor who alleged that he was made to dump large quantities of unused office equipment and equally unused expensive surgical instruments into covered skips for disposal by an NHS Trust whose budget policy meant that if they were found to have excess, unused supplies at year end then next year’s budget would be cut. Thus they had to be crushed and disappear from view.

Here was an honest and very hard working ordinary man, by all accounts, who was disgusted at this profligate waste. The items could not be sold. They had to be quietly destroyed. As he said: “If they didn’t want them, why couldn’t they be sent to a poor country to use? It seems criminal to me.”

It did to us too.

A doctor complained about the colossal waste of time that was spent in perfectly pointless hospital meetings when the primary items for discussion were diversity matters, failure to fill forms in correctly and targets imposed from above. This doctor resented the time forcibly preventing her from being on the wards where she could do good, rather than wasting her time with pointless bureaucracy.

So, in view of all this, we have taken advice from such a whistle blower- we have decided to create a Whistleblowers’ Refuge Area-and here it is:

This Government seems intent on creating armies of snitches to watch and report on us.

So let us now return the compliment. With knobs on!

If you are a public servant, as enraged as the good people we describe above at the waste of taxpayers’ money, sometimes in an almost criminal way; if you are fed up with PC lectures while the organisation fails around you; if you resent fat cat chief executives in Local Authorities lording it while most public servants struggle to cope-then here’s where you come to unburden yourself.

You are assured of absolute anonymity. We would rather go to jail than reveal our sources. You will not be named, you will not be identified in any way, no clue will be given even to which area of the country you come from but you can hit back here at those who are ruining this country and possibly your lives too in the process.
