Ombudsman Services: MrsMay's Speech. Regulation and Redress (15)


Ombudsman Services Part 4: The Full English Cover-Up Attempt 15.

15) Ombudsman Services. Mrs May's Speech. Regulation and Redress.

Dear Mrs Leadsom and Mr Clark,

Having read Mrs May's speech we should like to raise the following points with you:

We're told:1) "The government I lead will be driven not by the interests of the privileged few, but by yours."

Q. Mrs Leadsom and Mr Clark, if that is indeed the case why hasn't there been an inquiry into the Battle of Oregreave? Why are Labour councillors representing the survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire being excluded by Sir Martin Moore-Buck from the inquiry? Why did government officials use a discredited report into the contaminated blood products scandal? Why is that process taking so long? Why was the inquiry into the misdeeds of the corporate press - Leveson 2 - cancelled? Why is Ombudsman Service's broken solution to a broken market being covered-up? Why aren't the victims of its broken solutions being compensated?

All of the above prioritise the interests of the privileged few, not the un-privileged many. The Prime Minister seems to be unaware of this..

2) "We will do everything we can to give you more control over your lives." 

Q. Mrs Leadsom and Mr Clark, why do you not invite all of the above victims to Parliament, and listen to their stories of how the privileged few took control over their lives and at what cost?

That would be democratic and would, literally, bring people together.

3) "When we take the big calls, we'll think not of the powerful, but you."

Q. Mrs Leadsom and Mr Clark, haven't all the big calls you've taken to date been exclusively to the benefit of the privileged few, otherwise wouldn't things be looking very different today?

Just how this government's relentless programme of austerity, A Really Big Call and Andrew Lansley's Health and Social Care Act, another Really Big Call - are to our benefit remains a mystery to us. The Prime Minister doesn't appear to have thought of this when drafting her speech.

4) "We will make Britain a country that works not for the a privileged few, but for everyone of us."

Q. Mrs Leadsom and Mr Clark, how does not standing up to non-dom Lord Rothermere when his newspaper attacked the judiciary, demonstrate a country working for all of us and not the privileged few?

At the privileged press' very first challenge to her authority the Prime Minister capitulated. She seems to have acted accordingly ever since.

Q. Mrs Leadsom and Mr Clark, how does this government's appalling bedroom tax demonstrate the making of a Britain that works not for the privileged few but for everyone of us?
Q. Mrs Leadsom and Mr Clark, why is there even one person homeless in this country, a country that is apparently working for all of us?

5) "Furthermore, as I said in Florence, we share the same set of fundamental beliefs; a belief in free trade, rigorous and fair competition, strong consumer rights....."

Q. Mrs Leadsom and Mr Clark, what strong consumer rights would that be when the RICS, with all its cachet, can't force its Members and Regulated Firms to do anything or refrain from doing anything even when that means those Members and Regulated Firms are in breach of RICS Rules and Regulations?
Q. Mrs Leadsom and Mr Clark, what further strong consumer rights is the Prime Minister speaking of when the RICS have permitted its Members and Regulated Firms to develop practices that do not work in their customer's interests - practices that have developed due to the RICS apparent inability to enforce its gold standard Rules and Regulations?
Q. Mrs Leadsom and Mr Clark, what strong consumer rights do property complainants have when they take their complaints to the RICS "appointed" company Ombudsman Services:Property only for the Ombudsman to hand them a broken solution in a RICS broken market?

The ombudsman system in this country has been described as being, "farcical."

In other words that means the un-privileged many are being systematically and very deliberately fleeced by the privileged few. The Prime Minister made no reference to this in her speech.

6) "And in other areas like workers' rights or the environment, the EU should be confident that we will not engage in a race to the bottom in the standards and protections we set."

It would appear that the Prime Minister has absolutely no idea as to what has been going on at the Ombudsman Association and Ombudsman Services over the past decade, and, like her Culture Secretary, Mr Hancock, prefers instead to cover-up the unpleasantness of the past. For her and her ministers to do otherwise would require them to; stand up, challenge the vested interests of the privileged few and actually do something to right those wrongs rather than just talk about it. Or seek to sweep it under the carpet.

Q. Mrs Leadsom and Mr Clark, the Ombudsman Association once have as a criterion for membership that ombudsman schemes needed to have a Whistleblowing Policy, why was this requirement removed?
Q. Mrs Leadsom and Mr Clark, why did the Ombudsman Association permit Ombudsman Services to join its regulatory domain when the latter had no such policy?
Q. Mrs Leadsom and Mr Clark, how could this have possibly happened when the CEO and Chief Ombudsman of Ombudsman Services was also the Chair of the Ombudsman Association?
Q. Mrs Leadsom and Mr Clark, why do British ombudsman schemes deny their workers the Human Right of freedom of expression?
Q. Mrs Leadsom and Mr Clark, was the removal of workers' rights at British ombudsman schemes part of a deliberate cover-up to hide the broken solution it was providing consumers in this very broken market?
Q. Mrs Leadsom and Mr Clark, what protection do farcical ombudsmen with their broken solutions in a broken market offer to both their employees and consumers at large?
Q. Mrs Leadsom and Mr Clark, isn't the Prime Minister living in the wrong tense and haven't we been languishing at the bottom for the past decade thanks to the appalling standards and criminal lack of protections this government has permitted to develop over time given its ideological and dogmatic attachment to de-regulated/self-regulated markets?
Q. Mrs Leadsom and Mr Clark, when NHS Livewell Southwest Ltd employ Anonymous Desk Top Reviews to write one line sentences that determine whether their patients - people to whom they owe a duty of care - are billed for the full cost of their nursing care or not, what protection is that affording the un-privileged many?
Q. Mrs Leadsom and Mr Clark, doesn't this appalling practice - a consequence of the equally appalling National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare and NHS Funded Nursing Care and Andrew Lansley's appalling Health and Social Care Act of 2012, place us firmly at the bottom of a very inhumane and degrading barrel?

The government is, to all intents and purposes, running an extortion racket with the victims of this racket being forced to pay their legal representative's fees in order to reclaim what was rightfully theirs in the first place.

It is a deliberately rigged market - an extortion racket. It is almost offensive for the Prime Minister to talk of bringing people together whilst Mr Lansley's Act remains on the statute books..

The way this government treats the sick, the elderly the dying and their relatives
is shameful. Unfortunately, you need a conscience to feel shame Something the Coalition government clearly lacked other wise there would be no artificial - rigged - division of health and nursing care.

It created the broken solution to the broken market in health care whilst often robbing the sick, the elderly and the dying of everything they ever worked and saved for.
 
The EU should have no confidence whatsoever in the standards and protections this government has set. The Prime Minister forgot to mention this in her speech yesterday..

7) "We start from the place where our regulators already have deep and long-standing relationships. So the task is maintaining trust; not building it in the first place."

Q. Mrs Leadsom and Mr Clark, what trust can the EU have in our broken ombudsman market, our broken RICS regulatory market, our broken health care market or our broken press regulatory market?

8) "The UK will need to make a strong commitment that its regulatory standards will remain as high as the EU's. That commitment, in practice, will mean that UK and EU regulatory standards will remain substantially similar in the future."

Q. Mrs Leadsom and Mr Clark, our regulatory standards are appalling, what is the Prime Minister talking about?

The Prime Minister's empty and cynical talk of bringing people back together when her government's policies combined with a brazen, unhesitating and determined commitment to cover up the injustices of the recent and not so past - The Full English Cover-Up - will simply result in ever more victims swelling the already bulging ranks of those deliberately kept waiting for their elusive, priceless share of justice.

Yours sincerely,
Steve Gilbert - Workstock Number - 510458.
