How is Lord Laming the man for the job?

How come the government, along with that utter moron Blinky Balls (barely able to string a sentence together on the press interview video) expect us to just trust what Lord Laming says, given the criticisms quite rightly levelled at him in the Victoria Climbie case?

Lord Laming headed the department in Hertfordshire at the time of the 1990 case, which led to the Local Government Ombudsman making a finding of "maladministration with injustice", the strongest criticism open to him.

Yeah OK, so he's going to be "independent" then, isn't he. About as "independent" as Lord Goldsmith on the decision to invade Iraq, and as "independent" as Lord Hutton on the death of David Kelly?

Why the fuck do the government just assume we'll trust the outcome if it's come from one of their mates?

For fucks sake, they really do think we're stupid, don't they.
