Ombudsman Services Pt 4: The Full English Cover-Up (85) Send For Inspector Montalbano.

Ombudsman Services Pt 4: The Full English Cover-Up (85) Send For Inspector Montalbano.

Dear Reader,

With; government departments acting as if they were mafia-inspired .... a National Frame-Up for Continuing Health Care that closely resembles a mafia-run extortion racket ...RICS the regulator behaving like the Carruso family ... surveyors who deliberately fail to keep meaningful logs and who destroy evidence ... Anonymous NHS Livewell Southwest Desk Top Reviewers arriving at decisions, "beyond all known logic" ... regulators who don't actually regulate ... Parliamentary committees who refuse to listen to the public ... civil servants and politicians who are in the pocket of the RICS mob ....a Parliamentary and Health Service ombudsman who threatens to prosecute complainants ... ADR CEOs and Chairmen who act like mafia dons ...and an Ombudsman Services:Property ombudsman who, "arrives at decisions in an illogical manner" logic dictates that it's time to send for Inspector Montalbano and his team to sort out the whole carousel of corruption.

Yours sincerely,

Steve Gilbert - the Ombudsmans61percent Campaign.

We're seeking:
1. A public inquiry into Ombudsman Services:Property (a company formerly trading as the Surveyors Ombudsman Association until being rebranded) and the role of the RICS in determining, "the effective resolution of complaints."
2. Compensation for the victims of this company's ombudsman's illogical Final Decisions and executives' maladministration.
3. The setting up of a state-run, fair. independent, transparent and accountable ADR scheme.

Ombudsman Services Pt 4: The Full English Cover-Up (84)

Ombudsman Services Pt 4: 1984 - But Who Regulates Big Brother?

Dear Reader,

It was a bright hot day in July and the clocks were striking thirteen.

S, had now compiled his dossier on the troublesome Labour leader and was pleased with his work. Leaning to the right he spoke into the monitor - "Send for O'Watson."

Politicians come and go - Prime Ministers even more so - but civil servants are here for life.

Over the years we've tried contacting two cabinet secretaries, first Francis Maude and then Andrea Leadsom. both over the "farcical" Ombudsman Services:Property and the scandal of its, "decisions not arrived at in a logical manner," its failure to comply with Ombudsman Association rules of membership and its cavalier approach to OFT criteria and the reporting on its "performance" but without success.

Perhaps RICS "engaged" and "politically influenced" civil servants were deleting our emails before they reached their intended destination. This is, after all, how The Full English Cover-Up operates.

Otherwise things would have been different. There would have been an immediate response to our complaint and prompt and decisive would have been action taken. Instead of becoming a victim creation scheme Ombudsman Services would have been known for delivering prompt, independent, logical and just decisions. Unfortunately, that isn't how things are allowed to happen in pre-Brexit Britain or at Ombudsman Services.

Its annual reports are an example of how Orwellian "newspeak" has evolved into "ombudspeak."

Apparently its an organisation where everything was so good it was doubleplus good. Nothing ever went wrong according to one of its "independent Assessors" but if they did it was because complainants were misguided enough to expect too much.

"It is easy to be dissatisfied if things don't go your way" is classic Doublethink- it is to forget whatever it was necessary to forget. "Our results are our product" is Chief Ombudsman Doublethink for knowing that nearly 90% of complainants thought their customer journey to be a car crash but saying otherwise.

Private ADR schemes are doubleplus bad for British consumers.

"But sir," came the nervous reply, "O'Watson's taking further instruction from the "A" People - they want the Two Minutes Corbyn Hate increased." "Good" thought S, "Things are progressing nastily."

The Ombudsmans61percent campaign is seeking:

1. A public inquiry into Ombudsman Services (a company formerly operating as the Surveyors Ombudsman Service until being rebranded) and the role of the RICS in determining the effective outcome of disputes.

2. Compensation for the victims of its ombudsman's illogical Final Decisions and its executives' maladministration.

3. The setting up of a state-run, fair, independent, transparent and accountable ADR scheme.

Yours sincerely,

Steve Gilbert - The Ombudsmans61percent Campaign.

Ombudsman Services And The Full English Cover-Up

Ombudsman Services Pt 4: The Full English Cover-Up (84) Two For The Price Of One.

Dear Reader,

We know civil servants aren't neutral because The RICS told us so and as they're the Gold Standard in self-regulation it must be true.

Perhaps their, "politically influenced" and "engaged" civil servants were the ones who also briefed against the democratically elected leader of Her Majesty's Opposition?

So whilst they're at it why not do one into Ombudsman Services and we'll get two-for-the-price-of-one?

The Ombudsmans61percent Campaign is seeking:
1 Answers from Monk and Partners, Gillian Fleming, Lewis Shand Smith, Dame Janet Finch, Vince Cable, Jo Swinson, Nick Clegg, Jonathan May, Sajid Javid, Dame Julie Mellor, the Independent Assessor, Steven Gould RICS Director of Regulation, the government monitors of this government approved scheme, the Ombudsman Association, RICS' "politically influenced" and "engaged" civil servants, Dame Helena Kennedy, the EU Justice Sub-Committee, Yvonne Fovargue, the All Partly Parliamentary Group on Consumer Protection, Martin Lewis.
2. A Public inquiry into Ombudsman Services:Property (a company formerly trading as the Surveyors Ombudsman Association until being rebranded) and the role of the RICS in determining the effective resolution of disputes.
3. Compensation for the victims of its ombudsman's illogical Final Decisions and its executives' maladministration.
4. The setting up of a state-run fair, independent, transparent and accountable chem of alternative dispute resolution (ADR).

Yours sincerely,
Steve Gilbert - The Ombudsmans61percent Campaign.

Ombudsman Services Pt 4: The Full English Cover-Up (83) "Engaged"" And "Politically Influenced" Civil Servants Shred The Myth Of A Neutral British Civil Service.

Ombudsman Services Pt 4: The Full English Cover-Up (83) "Engaged" And "Politically Influenced" Civil Servants Shred The Myth Of A Neutral British Civil Service

Dear Reader,

There must be a General Election in the offing as it's now the turn of our supposedly neutral civil service to put the boot in on Jeremy Corbyn.

Michael Foot had it easy in comparison but then times have changed.

The old hatreds are stronger. The new ones are equally as vicious. The tropes have been marshalled (marshaled for our readers in the USA)  and passed fit for action along with their supporting vile slurs. Strange how slurs are always vile but stranger still is the decision of our taxpayer-funded civil service to join the fray. 

Taxpayer-funded charities such as the CAA and CST paved the way with Left-hate-filled blogs (see Mark Gardner's) and a petition stating that "Jeremy Corbyn is an antisemite and unfit to hold any public office" (Why is the taxpayer funding this?) and clearly the civil service felt the need to join in.

None of these people are elected and thanks to the generosity of the taxpayer none of them have felt the need to tighten their belts because of the Tory and Coalition Government's policy of austerity. That and the need to be held to be held accountable has seemingly passed them by. And this is still called a democracy.

The civil service have prior form.

The RICS once proudly announced how they'd "engaged" and "politically influenced" senior civil servants viz The Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Bill. In "RICS Member Briefing - Lobbying Vince Cable To Fix The Letting Industry" they wrote;
"RICS has long campaigned for reform of the letting agent sector - achieving better regulation of the sector and eliminating the "cowboys" will ultimately deliver more and repeat business for our members and a better deal for consumers."

Really? How about regulating your "cowboy" surveyors? Something Vince - sadly - wasn't interested in.

RICS continued;
"Over the past 18 months, RICS has undertaken a great deal of influencing work - both publicly and behind the scenes to drive home the need for change to govt and policy makers. This work has included events in Parliament, briefing of MPs, Ministers and Civil Servants."

When we later asked RICS' "politically influenced," "engaged" and "briefed" civil servants what on earth it was they were "monitoring" when the RICS' "appointed" company Ombudsman Services:Property failed for two years to produce an annual report be didn't get a reply. And this is supposed to be a democracy.

Martin Lewis in his whitewash report for the All Party Parliamentary Group on Consumer Protection stumbled across a consumer disapproval rate of nearly 90% for Ombudsman Services:Property but didn't think it worth commenting on. We did.

He didn't answer our questions. Yvonne Forvague, Chair of Committee, didn't answer our questions either. And this is supposed to be a democracy.

We've been trying to drive home the need for 21st century standards of transparency and accountability and the need to round up all those cowboys. No success so far.

The Ombudsmans61percent Campaign is seeking:
1. A public inquiry into Ombudsman Services:Property and the role of The RICS.
2. Compensation for the ombudsman's illogical Final Decisions and the executives' maladministration.
3. The setting up of a state-run, fair, independent, transparent and accountable ADR scheme.

Yours sincerely,
Steve Gilbert - The Ombudsmans61percent Campaign.

Ombudsman Services Pt 4: The Full English Cover-Up (82) British Justice? What A Good Idea!

Ombudsman Services Pt 4: The Full English Cover-Up (82) British Justice? What A Good Idea!

Dear Reader,

Far too many British citizens have to wait far too long for their ration of British justice and far too many simply never get it.

We need to start erecting columns in Trafalgar Square with the names of all those gallant individuals who fell fighting the British Justice System so that their struggles and battles will not have been in vain.

Victims like Richard Stewart from the Windrush Generation to those victims of The Contaminated Blood Scandal, Orgreave, and Hillsborough.

To the sick, the elderly and the dying and their families who were given decisions "beyond all known logic" by Anonymous Desk Top Reviewers at NHS Livewell South West to those who were promised a, "fair" and "independent" investigation of their complaint by Ombudsman Services - a private non-transparent and non-accountable ADR scheme - and got anything but.

There'll be a lot of columns and they'll all be very tall.

The Ombudsmans61percent Campaign is seeking:
1. Answers from; Lewis Shand Smith, Monk and Partners, Gillian Fleming, Dame Janet Finch, Sir Vince'll Fix-It Cable, Jo Swinson, the ludicrously named Independent Assessor, Jonathan May, Sajid Javid, the government monitors of this government approved scheme, Steven Gould and RICS the so-called regulator, Chuka Umunna, our surveyor, Dame Julie Mellor, Lord Tim Clement Jones, Martin Lewis, Yvonne Fovargue, The All Party Parliamentary Group on Consumer Protection, The Ombudsman Association, Dame Helena Kennedy, The EU Justice Sub-Committee...
2. A public inquiry into Ombudsman Services:Property (a company formerly trading as the Surveyors Ombudsman Scheme until being rebranded) and the role of the RICS.
3. Compensation for the victims of the OS:Property ombudsman's illogical Final Decisions and the executives' maladministration.
4. The setting up of a truly fair and independent state-run transparent and accountable ADR scheme.

Yours sincerely,
Steve Gilbert - The Ombudsmans61percent Campaign.
