Lowest-bidder-wins contract systems for vulnerable people's services degrade the skills involved and the service users

Most of the Kwug Blog blog posts are carefully worded and logged with keyword 'labels' to help seekers of the information contained in those posts reach their goal. that can improve the number of 'page viewings' even when the Kwug Blog editor does not engage in Twitter himself.

Just as important in Google search ratings, if not more so, can be the combination of keyword 'labels' and 'permalink' for a given blog post.

An image of the latest 'All time page viewing statistics for blog posts published on Kwug Blog' appears here.

Page viewing statistics for Kwug Blog posts, May 2010-to-May 2017

One Kwug Blog blog post has long stood out as having received more page viewings than any other on this platform, and that is from early 2014:

KUWG with Simon of Occupy Highlight What Goes on at Atos' Tresco House, Lisson Grove Medical Examination Centre

Anti-Atos Day 2, Kilburn Unemployed Workers Group style

Perhaps, embarrassingly, that could be because the 'permalink' given to it does not reflect the words in the title, but the very generic heading 'blog-post'!
http://kilburnunemployed.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/blog-post.html

Much dearer to the Kwug Blog editor's heart is the number 2 ranking given to

British Sign Language Interpreters ripped off by NHS contractor

From NUBSLI via Linda Burnip of Disabled People Against Cuts

No doubt the 'permalink' http://kilburnunemployed.blogspot.co.uk/2016/11/british-sign-language-interpreters-ripped-off-by-nhs-contractor.html

The underlying message of wider application in that blog post is perhaps:

Lowest-bidder-wins contract systems for vulnerable people's services degrade the skills involved and the service users

Commenting on Blog Contents

Comments are approved unless abusive, obscene, completely off the subject, disguised advertising or libellous. Publication of a comment does not imply that the blog administrator or KUWG agree with it.

Please note if I respond to comments it is in my Google log in — never 'Anonymous'

Commenters cause less confusion when they use their own names or pen names. A host of 'Anons' can give very mixed messages. Even if you use the technically easier 'Anonymous' button to make a comment you can still put your name at the end.

Meeting structure

Helping you feel at home: We meet weekly in the Small Hall at KingsgateCC and start gathering from 3pm, attempting to start the meetings at about 3:15pm and definitely before 3:30pm.

Bring and share refreshments are included. We are not like the 'No eating or drinking on the premises' jobcentre.

The formal meetings start with firstname and what benefit we are on or a one-liner about what brings us to KUWG. (Pensioners and other allies welcome.)

We then ask for casework from those present, arrange who will help with what case, and go onto discussing campaigning leafleting and such outreach activities. We also arrange who will do the chairing or facilitating and note-taking for the following week. Rotating these roles helps minimise the risk of being dominated by one person and helps us build our skills as we share the workload.

Meetings actually finish at about 5:20pm to allow for putting tables and chairs back and leaving the kitchen facilities ready for the next group.
