Moghrey Mie Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Do we know the story of why he went yet ? I'm all ears..... I wonder if they asked him at the interview why he left his last job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Do we know the story of why he went yet ? I'm all ears..... I wonder if they asked him at the interview why he left his last job? They probably didn't dare ask. The pool of safeguarding chiefs is small and they keep getting shuffled around. If they truly examined how these people operate none of them would be employed.

the stinking enigma Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 he might have his work cut out https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Helena_child_abuse_scandal though im sure he will reach the desired conclusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.K. Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 That's right Barrie. Blair did it as soon as all of those Hong Kong Chinese were safely out of the way. And why not? We've bent over backwards to bring in hordes of people with whom we have much less in common than we have with these imperial co-travellers. Actually it was the appalling Thatcher creature. As I was living and working in the UK at the time I got caught up in the shenanigans especially engineered to prevent the Hong Kong Chinese flocking to the UK prior to the handover. I received a letter ordering me to attend the Home Office in Petty France with my birth certificate and passport in order for them to "regularise" my "status" as someone born in a Crown Dependency. During in the interview I asked the Scribbling Servant why I had been peremtorily summonsed as I was not from Hong Kong? Answer came there none... ETA - think I misunderstood what point Jumper was trying to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.K. Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Do we know the story of why he went yet ? I'm all ears..... His history is a little unusual. Mark Charters left his job in Northampton to move to Bexley in 2007. He was criticised on a Bexley website as on arrival he promptly threw a lot of Bexley money at a consultancy called Ophira Ltd. By coincidence Ophira is based in Northampton and was formed in 2007. Their website has now been "under construction" for a year or more. I don't know how they could sell more services with no shop window?

mollag Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I know a bit about St Helena, although I have never been (it was not somewhere you would go to for a fortnight as it was served by just one ship which shuttled between the UK and South Africa),but there are a surprising number of links with the IOM. There is a St Helena slave buried in old Kirk Braddan churchyard, I think we had Governor in common and they were given help by the IOM government when some games were held here. It is a fascinating place. Mark Wilks is the link Glads, this wiki thing is an interesting read,-----https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Wilks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
