Shoesmith sues Harringay and will make a fortune.

Grizzled Sharon Shoesmith, the former boss of childrens services at Harringay council has filed a claim at the employment tribunal for wrongful dismissal as predicted in the previous News Rage UK article, Guaranteed Wrongful Dismissal in Harringay . The thing that makes me mad here is that we know the outcome and we can start to predict the tabloid headlines already.

The fact is, Balls went in like Schwartznegger, in character on a revenge spree and sacked her in a flash. I can't pretend that I don't agree with what he did because I do...and he should have the power to do what he did in the circumstances, however there are procedures that need to be followed when you sack someone, anyone with whom you have given a contract of employment and I would be very surprised if they were followed.

Wronfully or rightly she was lynched and the law has developed to prevent lynchings in the workplace, in fact mostly courtesy of the Labour Party themselves. I would be surprised if she doesn't walk away with a nice sum as a result and again the rights of Baby P will be ignored.

Guaranteed Wrongful Dismissal in Harringay

I was really pleased to hear that the outcome of the inquiry into the death of baby P resulted in a shake up in Harringay. Thankfully two of the three removed went on their own accord and have done the right thing. One, an odious being was sacked and presumably because she refused right to the end to accept that she had blood on her money grabbing hands.

The thing that makes me sad in this is the cruel death of an innocent child at the hands of week, evil people which happened as a result of systemic and opporational failure in the council that was supposed to protect the vulnerable. The thing that makes me mad with anger and disgust is the refusal by one woman to accept any responsibility for what happened on her watch. I will be phisically sick if this worm decides to take legal action against the council for wrongful dismissal which unfortunately I think I can already accurately predict. If she cannot see and understand what has happened, which I think has been demonstrated by her refusal to resign then I think that she will have the audacity and no qualms in suing for millions in compensation.

I hope when she does, the courts refuse her claim and that she crawls away to the dark and shaded part of suburbia I presume she comes from.
