Over the moon ! ! ! !

If only a fraction of the time, money and effort spent protecting this woman’s backside had actually been invested by her in implementing basic child protection procedures in Haringay – there is every possible reason to believe that Peter Connelly would today be a healthy 5 year old boy with a long life ahead of him having been permenantly removed from the custody of his sadistic mother and boyfriend, by a properly fuctioning social services department.

To her utter shame, such thoughts were a million miles away from Sharon Shoesmith as she stood on the steps of the High Court yesterday "thrilled and over the moon" that a Judge had decreed that the then Children's Minister Ed Balls had been wrong to relieve her of her £130,000 post. 

Frankly no one gives a pig’s burp that she’s now got a lot to say about Ed Balls. The fact that she has had precisely nothing to say about her corporate complicity in the systematic torture and murder of Peter Connelly is what really gets up peoples noses, makes them point at her in the street. 

I say she has had nothing to say – until now. Almost able to smell that large pile of taxpayer’s compensation cash - she now feels able to express sorrow about Peter Connelly's death on her watch, sorrow that will allegedly stay with her for the rest of her life - apparently. 

You would desperately, desperately hope so.
