Ombudsman Services - "Bend It Like Bradley." (12)

To the Leader of the House of Commons and

To the Business Secretary.

Ombudsman Services: The Full English Cover-Up. Attempt 12.

12) Ombudsman Services: "Bend It Like Bradley."

Dear Mrs Leadsom and Mr Clark,

One particularly high achiever in the current Parliamentary intake of MPs is Ben Bradley, Mansfield's representative since 2017.

He is remarkably adept at opening his mouth and firmly planting his foot in it a feat he has now managed on at least two separate occasions. Whether its the same foot - twice - or two different feet we're not sure but we suspect he's equally talented with both his feet.

Given what he said about the Leader of the Opposition and his obvious flair for bending the truth, the fact that he doesn't seem to have broken the new Conservative code of conduct for potential MPs, speaks volumes about the effectiveness of this particular code of conduct.

Q. Mrs Leadsom and Mr Clark, why doesn't the Conservative Party have sovereignty over its very own code of conduct?

This code states that MPs are expected, "To act with probity and honesty" and uphold the party's, "values and reputation."

They must, "treat others with civility, courtesy and respect" and not use their position to, "bully, abuse, harass or unlawfully discriminate against others."

Q. Mrs Leadsom and Mr Clark, wasn't Lord Prescott right when he sought Mr Bradley's removal as Vice Chair of Youth at CCHQ as he's hardly a role model of probity, honesty, courtesy or respect?

The Conservative Party's Code of Conduct would seem to be about as useful as the RICS and its Code of Conduct. It too doesn't enforce it.

Q. Mrs Leadsom and Mr Clark, when a Property Ombudsman declines (but apparently doesn't "refuse") to answer a complainant's questions are they also treating others, "with civility, courtesy and respect?"

The consumer is told by this private ADR scheme's CEO and Chief Ombudsman, The Rev Shand Smith, that what's been on offer has been, "a broken solution to a broken market."

Q. Mrs Leadsom and Mr Clark, when the Ombudsman Services: Property Ombudsman handed complainants decisions, "that were not arrived at in a logical manner" is this what The Rev Smith meant by, "a broken solution" and wasn't it highly discriminatory?

Clearly, the EU 2013 framework offers its citizens far great protection from cowboy operators than the broken solution on offer here.

We're now 57 days into the new year and although Ombudsman Services:Property are required by the Ombudsman Association to produce an annual report they so far haven't.

It would seem that the Ombudsman Association's rules and code of conduct are about as effective as the Conservative party's - both offer the British public little or no protection from rampantly high achievers.

Yours sincerely,

Steve Gilbert - Workstock Number - 510458.
