Do corrupt workers infest Blackpool council?

clipped from www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk £600,000 theft probe from Blackpool Council A TOWN hall worker has been charged over allegations of stealing more than £600,000 from Blackpool Council. Mother-of-two Cathryn Wiles faces 25 allegations of theft in relation to £617,000 paid out in benefits. It follows an investigation into so-called "ghost" payments of allowances to foster families who do not exist. It is believed the charges relate to alleged offences committed over a number of years. What has been described as a "robust" internal inquiry is now underway, a Blackpool Council official confirmed.

If you work for the deprived of Blackpool, this article comes of little surprise. The ease with which Blackpool council castigate and humiliate the elderly, the ill-educated and the vulnerable is better than legend.
There is something drastically wrong within the system if vulnerable people are harangued in the way they are, while insiders hide their evil duplicity under a welter of needless accusations against innocent residents.
£6000.000 tells the truth.
The mass majority of council workers are conscientious and honest individuals. This situation can only arise because the average, decent employee cannot use their common sense. They are hen-pecked with stupid regulations and abeyance of political correctness. If the top hierarchy of the Finance Department were really held accountable and dismissed, the position replaced by a competent clerk on a reasonable salary, then the problem would be solved.
