The Culture Of Maladministration, Misconduct And Corruption Within Councils Grows Daily
Councils throughout the United Kingdom are becoming more encumbered with cases of maladministration, misconduct and corruption. Each day, new cases within local authorities come to light that seriously affects and is detrimental to democracy. Unfortunately, the police will typically fail to intervene or there is no legislation to protect the community from such despicable acts.
Council officers and councillors who have committed unprofessional or unlawful acts usually hide behind the defensive machine of a deceitful council ‘legal’ department, operated by contemptible liars and sycophants purporting as ‘solicitors’, who frequently abuse their powers and trust by invoking unrecorded internal mechanisms that ultimately prevents the public, the very people who employ them, from scrutinizing such matters.
If members of the community do become aware of any serious maladministration or misconduct by local authority officers or members, which includes sexual assault, fraud and theft, another defence mechanism is implemented by the council executive that allows the guilty employee to leave their employment and gain employment at another local authority. More often than not, the previous employer will provide their former employee with a reference without any allusion whatsoever to their misconduct or corruption.
When members of the community began to question the ethics of a council or those of officers or members, they will often become vulnerable to threats of harassment and intimidation by mendacious officers who go on the offensive to conceal their crooked or immoral acts. The complainant is usually humbled into submission since they do not have the means to challenge the unlimited resources of the public purse in the control of these malevolent local authority officers.
Under this indifferent Labour government, councillors and officers are also allowed to hive off millions of pounds of taxpayers money into private limited companies where they usually dominate the directorships, along with other former councillors, officers and cronies. These individuals then dictate how that money is squandered, under the guise and claims of saving money, without any responsibility to or consultation with the public – the local gravy train.
Again, under this pathetic government the pay of local authority chief executives, in many cases, have risen ahead of inflation and average earnings whilst the country is in recession and in incredible debt. Evidence from the Audit Commission has suggested that between 2003-04 and 2007-08, the salary levels of chief executives of county and single-tier authorities in England rose by 34% to an average of £150,000 per year yet the services taxpayers receive from councils diminish day by day.
Councils have ultimately become a law enforcement agency funded by taxpayers whose function is now to persecute and suppress citizens. It is the intention of this blog to inform the nation of these acts of maladministration, misconduct, corruption and extravagant and unchecked expenditure of taxpayers money by officers and councillors within local authorities in the hope of bringing about a change in the law to protect local communities.
