I know no-one is allowed to say that public sector workers are “cosseted”. And of course no-one can ever say anything nasty about anyone who works in the emergency services. Salt of the earth types, heroically serving the public good each and every one of them. We scarcely deserve these Little Jesuses, don’t you know?

That’s the official line. The truth is a little different. Some of the time anyway. Some people would rather let people die than interrupt their tea-break. Yes they would. Really…

Do you know of any ambulance staff (or police and fire service for that matter) who have a similar visual impairment but are still working operationally?

ParamedicUK would like to get in contact with anyone who can help this paramedic build a case to bring to his employers so that he can continue to do the job he loves and has done for over a 15 years.

If you have any information you would like to share with us please use the contact page to send us an email. Thank you for your help.

The advantage lies in the ‘patient experience’. This we know to be a singular happening and despite a loud but solitary voice little is created beyond a minor ripple in the waters of progression and alas our public sector directors continue to rape what was fought for over many years. They have seen the future and the future is privatisation. It should be our mission to disrupt their otherwise effortless attempts to ensure a personal profit and foothold in such ventures. Despite Aneurin Bevan’s demise in the hearts and minds of such avaricious miscreants his work and that of all those who dreamt of social, healthcare and welfare provision managed to provide a platform for the truly hopeless to rise through and above such altruism and redefine it as something so monstrously self-serving. Too often our senior managers and moderate union representatives declare that times have changed and we need to be geared up and ready for the inevitable corporate approach requisite in the 21st century. Lies, more lies and filthier lies to come from partly-educated scum.

Posturing gravitas may appeal to a minority who hand-pick their apparatchiks not on the basis of capability but on their cronyism and fawning lickspittle qualities. They possess neither the ability to manage, implement or govern a single change within the public sector just the primal self and public-deceiving motivation necessary to reach the top, provide a private education for their own, a score card of boxes ticked and a CV likely to impress those of a similar ilk who represent their own – a minority callously devoted to harvesting a still-beating heart with which to personally profit. All of this is further strengthened by a failing economy both perversely and conversely as they appear to utilise the fear of redundancy amidst a recession better and more capable people couldn’t prevent.

Our senior directors would never cut it in the private sector yet require us to bear them to success in the ‘late’ NHS and provide assurance to none but their own grubby kind. They are shameless and pathological in their intent and all attempts by them to feather their own nests should be met by a silent, non-confrontational disruption in a style not too dissimilar to their own. Under the radar and into the bunker. Every bit as insidious as the very cancer that devours our public sector.

Ten years ago I recall a culture of ‘No blame, no shame’. This has undoubtedly been replaced by a more sinister and threatening directive and the paradox has been dressed-up as ‘best practice’ by a shabby, superficially polished gang of mendicants unfit for purpose who will strive to get their way painlessly using PR tricks and ridiculous posturing lightly peppered with laughable gravitas, sincere only to fools and Daily Mail readers.

There are so many people who care about the future of public sector domains who maintain an honest dialogue with management but are continually reappraising their own interpretation of the direction in which we travel. I believe that any dialogue has been severely compromised by the egregious response any civilised query evokes and it is their shame that will result in the failure to implement progression within our public sectors.

With a one-way dialogue evident it is time to disrupt the destructive and harmful yet cleverly marketed avaricious, self-delusional aspirations of senior public sector players. Not by sabotaging equipment, supplies or any other criminal activity but by towing the line and doing exactly what they say. They are idiots and they will fall as they benchmark themselves upon targets that mean nothing or are easily cheated. They are crooks and idiots worthy of little respect. The public will never know the true extent of or the degree to which they have been exploited, cajoled, humoured or insulted until the system falls over and the unaccountable (in real terms) are exposed and flagellated with a deserved cruelty only they are worthy of.

Public anger is rising yet our media continue in their failure to expose the true extent to which our services are being raped for singular benefaction but as our recession increases so will the dissatisfaction of the masses as they realise the truth behind public sector administration. It is undeniable that a top-heavy culture exists – a very well-paid top-heavy administration that needs scything back into proportion. Without such an army of auditors auditing all but the important matters (self-preservation once again) we may be able to provide ambulance services across the UK that deliver care and transport patients to hospitals that have not yet been down-graded to minor injury units thereby avoiding the expedient role ambitious managers lactate to.

We should have faith that only silly members of the public are fooled by buzzwords, helicopters and bright jumpsuits at the expense of short transit to what was once a hospital and now houses another bulging PCT.

A recent internal staff publication (you know the type – polished, whacked-out in Publisher and printed at great cost on thick, high quality paper) featured an article focused on appeasing staff frustration. It was imaginatively titled ‘Good things come to those who wait’. Such vacuous nonsense should be titled ‘Arbeit Macht Frei’ solely in its dishonesty and delusionary promises. Who are these people? Self-appointed Santa’s? Tricksters and cheats expecting to be hauled along in their flower-bound carts as if possessing the sanctity of a Hindu god less used to such exploitation – grimacing reluctantly as a whoring equality and diversity department socially engineers their pox to another tick-box? We must remember that such enterprises are classless, racially un-unique and only fool the stupid and suck funds from vital, life-saving methodology and highlight the meaningless corporate necessities that sum up the painting by numbers, so-called diversity-led crap that cost ALL of us the services we require and deserve. These people are no-more racially aware than any of us. What unites all of us is that we pay taxes to the same ineffectual systems that rob us of what we deserve and while they play at social libertarianism with more than a hint of threatening fascism they deprive us of service, the very service they proudly declare devotion to.

Nazi’s with social degrees or simple incompetents dressed as the informed? Judging by the fact I would probably be disciplined for publicly discussing this issue via Paramedic UK as a working paramedic speaks for itself. I remain anonymous so as to mock the very organisation that has chosen to define itself as a ‘corporate’ body without public discussion or negotiation and it tells a tale so grim debate becomes a necessity.

I invite contributions from only those outside the diseased, self-felating non-descript rapist managers and public sector devolutionists replete with fingers-in-pie presently deconstructing our inheritance with impunity, assurity and unaccountability inviting instead the public and the professionals at levels consistent with open, unadulterated and unpolluted debate. Yes, this is a debate to which executive directors of health service trusts are excluded in the self-same unaccountable manner that we, the employees and public are excluded from. You are not invited and your reek will be self-evident in whatever disguise you choose to hide behind. After all, a wage exceeding 100k should be ample to sit and scoff. If not then publish another self-aggrandising journal and plan your next trip to the south of France. You stink and you are not welcome as you have failed in every way and rely, parasitically, upon the goodwill and vocational intent of your lower grade staff. You will of course die just like the rest of us alone but questioning exactly what you did during your time in the public sector. I can only hope that your pain is directly proportional to your crimes.
