Many comments in FCCL circles have said "if you knew, why didn't you blog it?" and I have to admit I was seriously tempted BUT we figured for such a serious allegation (which we hadn't had corroborated by anybody else) a face to face meeting was essential before any tapping of keyboards took place. Anyway today FCCL and Anthea met for the first, and we sincerely hope not the last time! And as it turns out we have a lot in common. (Under active thyroids and pet rabbits for a start).
Having read a few of the WYFRS papers and emails in depth , that Anthea has showed us, it seems some employees in WYFRS have nothing better to do with our tax payers money than to trawl face book for allegedly errant employees who heaven forbid have facebook pages. Are they working without permission or perhaps bringing WYFRS into dispute? It seems that as well as social media in WYFRS eyes it's Anti Social Media.
Although it seems to FCCL that WYFRS senior managers seem to be doing a damn fine job of being anti social themselves recently. Simon "no comment" Pilling could probably do with coming out of his ivory training tower instead of peeking over the battlements and chucking the occasional AC/DC O to the crowd. Although many claim that Simon has completely lost the plot in all of this and actually WYFRS is currently a rudderless ship!
Don't know about anybody else but I find the #attentionseeking hashtag in particular offensive!
How do we know he is a WYFRS employee? As an avid twitterer he actually tweets he is at Birkenshaw HQ !
Gary, bless him also seems to revel in the fact that Anthea openly admitted on national TV to being full of oestrogen when the events took place resulting in the application for authority for directed surveillance that was instigated by recently retired ACO Martyn Redfearn.

Well Gary, if you despise women whose hormones are all over the place because they have recently given birth; you should have thought twice before really annoying a MENOPAUSAL ONE who runs a blog!
Anyway (windows 8 permitting ) we will be back tomorrow with a post "Rhodes to Nowhere". Well actually we think that ACO Rhodes may shortly be up a rather dirty waterway without an appropriate method of propulsion to move him forward. #redfacesallround - maybe!
The occasional Group Manager and Area Manager chucked to the crowd to front the appalling public non consultation on cuts got a very nice promotion for their troubles. Taking a "bullet" for the Chief pays well. Presumably putting your name to a letter advertising for strike breakers could lead to being the new Captain of the said "rudderless" ship? An all time low for industrial relations
ReplyDeleteAnthea wasn't exonerated, Anthea didn't get damages , why is she telling porkies ? That tracker was state of the ark not art - the story simply does not stand up. The internet says she was selling baloons and books and running an anti wind farm campaign whilst apparently unable to work at fire control whilst expecting to be paid from hard working taxpayers money and is now opening a shop - hardly a hobby. More like a con trick
ReplyDeleteThe internet says Simon Pilling is wonderful and everything is hunky dory. This website has proved to everybody that this not the case. I have watched with interest what's been said today and a fair few people should bow their heads in shame. Currently I am ashamed to be a member of the Fire Brigades Union.
ReplyDeleteanonymous#1 you don't know what you're talking about. I have an ESLET1 to say I was exonerated, by virtue of the fact that I have an ESLET1. The meeting in which i was handed that letter was attended by Nigel Hotson and Dom Furby as well as me and my FBU rep so approach one of them for clarification if you wish. you have my authorisation to do so.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous#2 Why be ashamed of the FBU when they are the only decent people left that will stand by you through thickn and thin? They have integrity, unlike the management team that I dealt with.
Let me ask you all this? What kind of person would enter your personal handbag in a meeting whilst you were momentarily out of the room? I'll tell you what kind of person... a guilty, underhanded member of management wearing a white shirt, which incidentally isn't white due to his honesty,let's put it that way.
Before you all post more about what you think happened, you wanna get your facts straight and stop wasting oxygen that others need.
oh and i also have screenshots of some of my ex colleagues who were trolling me on the internet whilst this was all going on. will post if necessary.
ReplyDeleteTo avoid any confusion.
ReplyDeleteFCCL isn't the voice of the FBU and doesn't always reflect the opinions of the FBU. Likewise individual members don't speak on behalf of the FBU, it is their personal view. Therefore both parties are not reflecting the opinions of the FBU in this particular case.

Well done for clarifying Dave, I think there was definitely some confusion.
ReplyDeleteTo tweet or not to Tweet, gone very quiet on here?
ReplyDeleteSorry -
ReplyDelete1. As sick as a parrot a week.
2. Waiting for an email from a sound engineer.
3. Once that arrives just need to click publish and then all hell breaks loose. :-)
So anthea screen grabber orchard was only out of the room for a few minutes. So when exactly did she start recording ? Lets have a guess would it be before she walked in ? Did she do it in agreement with the FBU or did she not bother telling them either, what else is on this tape that we have not heard ? There is an old saying trackergate about when st first you start to deceive and for you the game is up. The public lost sympathy with you when that blond business woman blasted you out of the water on tv. Not surprising really as taxpayers expect their public servants to actually work now and again
