The most important ...Complaining to the Ombudsman.<br /><br />The most important thing to remember that when you complain to this Administrative Cabbage is that you will have to prepare all your evidence. It will take time, and you will surely post it, hoping that your complaint will be received and looked at. <br /><br />Nothing could be further from the truth.<br /><br />The Ombudsman does NOT like the thought of a layman, actually, compiling evidence and forming a rock solid case, the Ombudsmans' job is to dismantle the complaint and take the evidence apart, this will make the complainant really angry. <br /><br />The Complainant will receive a letter, enclosing the standard line " there seems to be no substance to your allegation and therefore your file is closed" <br /><br />But, unknown to you, the Ombudsman phones up the department that is being complained about, and informs them what YOU have sent the Ombudsman as evidence, it eliminates the Ombudsman having to investigate, and gives the people involved time to hide the evidence, shred documents, hide documents, and deny everything. <br /><br />This is their way. The crunch is that the evidence you sent to the Ombudsman is then sent straight away to the Council, so they know what your case is built on, then they can fabricate a defence to discredit you, especially if it involves grants money paid, planning permissions etc, it's all part of the special relationship between the Ombudsman and the Council. <br /><br />They have to look after their cake you see, the special Anglesey Cake, that they guard with their lives, they've all had a piece, but don't want the public to know that they have been eating it. <br /><br />I mean it doesn't look very nice does it, if Councillors get planning and grants and the public are denied, I mean the public aren't entitled to a slice of the cake...........it belongs to them..their little cake, full of perks and treats for the boys..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130000348899973408.post-4377872757148848472011-01-30T13:35:38.421+00:002011-01-30T13:35:38.421+00:00Outside Wales all products of the Welsh education ...<i>Outside Wales all products of the Welsh education system are at a disadvantage.</i><br /><br />That would only hold true if they couldn't speak, read & write english. Try as I might I cannot find anyone amongst my aquaintances who cannot speak english. A welsh speaker in England is on an equal footing to an English speak.<br /><br />A History GCSE or A level studied in welsh is worth just as much as one in English.<br /><br />If you have such a downer on welsh, may I suggest you bugger off back to where you'll feel at home - Barking or Oldham or Burnley or wherever else small-minded BNP-type bigots and Daily Mail/Daiuly Telegraph dimwits who still live in the 1950's reside.<br /><br />The decenralisation and resurrgence of ethnicities is EU encouraged . In Spain the schools oin the Catalan and Basque areas no teach that as first language. Like wise it's starting to spread in France (did you know that 200 years ago hardly anyone in France spoke french?). The cope admirably in Belgium with it's bi-linguial system and the have never had any problems in non-EU switzerland with it's tri-lingualism. Some time in the next 20 years Spanish will be the number one language in Califoirnia and already 40% of it's schools are Spanish speaking.<br /><br />The scottish Islands are promoting Gaelic, their are now gaelic schools on the scottish mainland (as well as a gailic BBC TV channel - Alba). Gaelic is growing in the Republic of Ireland and in Sinn Fein dominated councils in Northern Ireland the use of Gaelic place names and Gaelic street sigange are becoming routine. There are even gaelic schools in the north as well now.<br /><br />This is going on all over Europe bit by bit. There are 160-odd recognised indiginous groupings, most with their own dialect or even full blown language and an awful lot of those now have their own schools to a lesser or greater degree.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130000348899973408.post-79165017223424763792011-01-30T12:54:42.118+00:002011-01-30T12:54:42.118+00:00Sorry KP, but statiscally the least likely to gai...Sorry KP, but statiscally the least likely to gain a Degree are afro-caribbean males closely followed by caucasion males from northern England and Greater London with a working class background.<br /><br />Funnily enough, both groups have relatively few Welsh speakers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130000348899973408.post-24063295275495528232011-01-30T11:22:51.319+00:002011-01-30T11:22:51.319+00:00"Sorry Red Flag, you just have to look at the..."Sorry Red Flag, you just have to look at the statistics to see that I am right. ...

These kids only speak english at school and only in the classrooms - in the playground they speak urdu or whatever. Many are the grand children of immigrants and have never left this country, Funnily enough, they have a better chance of going to university than their indiginous white counterparts which blows holes in your claims about kids educated in Welsh.
