FFS what a stupid time and place we live in. Doesn't seem that long ago something like this would have been front page in the The Sport as a spoof.
For once I won't be my sarcastic self because there is a greater cause for examination here, and that is the alleged actions of job centre staff. Here, we have Valerie who was probably having a women's 'heart to heart' with a staff member, and that member has totally disrespected her charter of client confidentiality and gone ratting to the police. To me, that serves as a timely warning to any person dealing with government authorities to speak only about relevant matters. Whilst mandatory reporting applies to protecting children's rights and safety, other than the duty of care under the Care Act 2014, I believe their is not statutory provision compelling a job centre worker to make any sort of report about the well-being of a client. This seems to be a case of a 'do-gooder' butting their nose in to areas it shouldn't be. Following on from that, of course is the police actions. Given that briefs of evidence must be signed off by senior officers, it is beyond belief (based on the facts we have) that the matter ever proceeded to the Crown Prosecution Service. We do not know why the case 'collapsed' but we can speculate that either Valerie insisted on not giving evidence/not proceeding or the CPS realised that they would be seen as a laughing stock. It would be interesting to learn if the marriage has survived this. Edited to say not edited to save further embarrassment.
Frig me! Sprung BIG time. I'm always so careful with them too! I was trying so hard to not make sarcastic comments such as 'gym must come first' and 'how would a man ever know how a Hoover works?' and 'what the frig have YOU been doing all day, darling Valerie' that I totally lost control of my homophones!
