I, too, watched in horror several times as Sian was treated with extreme discourtesy before being ordered to sit down like a naughty schoolchild when she dared to try to make a point during council meetings. How she kept going as long as she did fills me with admiration. They are an appalling lot who have the nerve to mouth Christian prayers before acting with such disregard for common decency.Lesleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791817892794754996.post-25469981846641843142019-03-29T10:35:00.651+00:002019-03-29T10:35:00.651+00:00@MartinMilan - well said.

I was present at more than one Council meeting to hear them baying over you when you tried to speak. Arseholes.<br />Also well done for disclosing the details of your whistle-blowing. I daresay it continues unchecked all over the place - same as the MP's expenses - but good for you for taking a stand.<br />Proper brave, you are.Tessanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791817892794754996.post-75654528677137383182019-03-29T10:09:51.967+00:002019-03-29T10:09:51.967+00:00Anon 22:54.

There are so many of us who have not only been treated appallingly with lies and smear but also, as in my case, have been the subject of many false arrests. (I wonder why?) Some of us have lost large amounts of money, jobs, and homes. Our crimes; simply whistleblew or complained. It doesn't seem possible. The emotional toll of this on a person can be manifestly destructive, impacting upon every single aspect of their lives. For me, this is yet another crime amongst the several already committed against myself. Until Wales accepts it has a deep-rooted problem it is never going to be rectified. Is it time for whistleblowers and complainants to form an action group? One such group was formed a few years ago and had some minor successes. It had the potential of exposing so much had it continued.Patricia Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791817892794754996.post-49208922541603673192019-03-27T16:56:23.466+00:002019-03-27T16:56:23.466+00:00Well said @SianCaiach.

Jacqui is a clear example of how you and your family will face financial ruin and endless harassment if you dare to expose the greed and misdeeds of a senior local government civil servant. You might even be prosecuted now it seems by your own elected colleagues [in theory, but we know who pulls the strings on these puppets]<br /><br />Emlyn Dole has got himself caught in the mire of what the public would call cronyism, corruption and misuse of public funds, but of course its all O.K. because Emlyn, an elected representative of the people and nominal leader of council, has, on paper, sanctioned it all. The Wales Audit office claim actions were unlawful but rely on those who supposedly run this council, the councillors, to deal with misdemeanours. <br /><br />If maladministration like this was found in the private sector in a firm with a turnover of over £ HALF A BILLION ,the shareholders would be up in arms but the only "victims" here are democracy in general and the people of Carmarthenshire in particular. It beggars belief that it has been tolerated by all the political parties represented in County Hall, and by the National Government itself. I personally will not stand by and let these bastards get away with it.<br /> <br />I lost my career in NHS hospital medicine by exposing other Llanelli surgical consultants who worked with me and who bolstered their private practice profits by persuading the local management to let them see and operate on private patients in their NHS time using NHS resources such as operating theatres, NHS beds and implants and pocketing the "private" fees when much of the treatment was payed for by the NHS while the doctors themselves were apparently paid twice, their NHS salary while actually treating paying private patients. It seems Wales is such a sh~t hole, full of poor people, that they were able to threaten that they would leave if not enriched by public funds, and got their way. <br /><br />Many of these scumbags see stealing public money as a victim-less crime and in the case of my colleagues in Llanelli, they were clearly on another level, high above the lazy and feckless locals who were not queuing up to pay privately but trying to use the NHS when surely putting money straight into the pockets of the doctors was much more desirable. My colleagues said they would make sure I never worked again and although my blacklisting was not recorded anywhere, it was very effective.<br /><br />How can ordinary people, without money and powerful friends,be they councillors or members of the public, stand up to all this? I'm disgusted with AM Jonathan Edwards who has decided to put Party before Justice for Jacqui and Carmarthenshire. His reply to you sounds like it was written by legal Linda herself and maybe passed on to gutless Jonathan by Desperate Dole?<br /><br /> I remember the days when Emlyn Dole, as an opposition councillor, treated you, Jacqui with respect and some compassion. Very different now when he is entrapped in the web spun for every leader of Carmarthenshire County Council to keep them in their place while others, the local government civil servants, run the show. Even when these protagonists are gone the toxic culture will take a lot of effort to eliminate.<br /><br />Sian Caiachnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791817892794754996.post-28948231643190055802019-03-27T12:35:37.516+00:002019-03-27T12:35:37.516+00:00I'm confused.

I'm reminded of the CEO Mark James' complaints to the Ombudsman against Sian Caiach when she was a CCC member for putting forward questions which neither he nor the executive wanted to answer. I believe the Ombudsman told him to grow a thicker skin and Sian was cleared of wrongdoing each time. Good to see there are others standing up to the bullying and intimidating actions of our Council. Be nice if there were more members speaking up and our AMs getting involved as the ball is in their court to actually do something not our MPs as it's the Welsh Assembly/Gov that oversees our Local Government not Westminster.

Somehow I would not have thought this legal firm would have gone ahead with these strong arm tactics without Executive and the CEO's approval. If these members are taken on for defamation by this legal firm and as they were only asking legitimate questions we'd all like to know the answer to the CCC would rightly be expected to support them in court financially if it went that far. Time the Executive and CEO stopped digging the metaphorical hole they're in, jumped out, and started to address the concerns we all have.

To add insult to injury Mr Edwards suggests members and members of the public can exercise their right to ask questions! Really Mr Edwards? You know full well that asking Ms Jones or the CEO, or anyone else for that matter, within this rotten council, questions Mark James does not want answered,truthfully,is to invite hostility for daring to ask in the first instance, followed by a threat to sue if you continue to challenge the web of deceitful responses you receive. What should happen at that point is for our politicians to step in and demand proper truthful answers. Do they? Do they hell! Wales = Sicilian cartel.

It reads to me like your MP avoids giving a view (thereby turning away), and even perhaps hints with a threat ( re Acuity Legal) that you might face legal action, and thereby becomes complicit?! BOLLOCKS (his being the size of garden peas)! You have simply raised the question of Conflict Of Interest. EVEREYONE should have raised this question - indeed Acuity Legal should have some kind of checklist or whatever to raise and consider it and to provide to those who question it! UNBELIEVABLE that in response to such questions, they threaten legal action! Won't someone please contact the Legal Ombudsman?Tessanoreply@blogger.com
