From the Right Side

This, from a letter of support for Sharon Shoesmith signed by the head teachers of 61 state-funded primary schools and seven secondary schools in Haringey:

Should the Child P case result in her loss from the borough, then our children and young people will lose one of their most effective, determined and committed champions...[Someone who since their appointment had] continued to work relentlessly and with a determination that the service she leads and develops ensures best practice in providing education, care, support and protection for all of our young people.

Circling the wagons to protect an over-paid bureaucrat from being held responsible for the actions of her department.

The most depressing thing is that if, by any chance, this woman is sacked, it is entirely predictable that within a short time she will secure another lucrative post within the bloated public sector.
