How do you unintentionally bully someone? Are they saying she's an idiot?

I imagine it comes quite naturally to people who are devoid of empathy. Also worth noting that she had to delete a tweet that could have derailed a major criminal trial - not sure how she got away with that

It’s the mass testing plan, but because they’re puerile sixth formers praying on the stupid and special they gave it a Bond style name.

 

I fucking hate them to a man, and woman.

I know that mate. I just saw the 100 billion cost and thought they may have had another albeit different cunning plan to deflect from whatever scandal they are embroiled in today.

So she's getting away with it then.

Disgraceful if she is.


‘She’s a hard working, driven member of parliament with an enviable record. She expects the same from those around here, a ‘get things done’ attitude. This is what Brexit Britain needs and if some snowflakes in the Civil Service can’t keep up with the challenge they should jolly well consider their positions, or their position will be obstructers of Brexit and the will of the great British people and common decency. They should be thankful that they got to learn from Pritti what hard work and sacrifice for the great British people really are and look like. Pritti is a credit to the great British people who want Britain to be the sovereign nation we all voted for in the referendum’

 

Nailed on.

She is clearly a bitch, but I think bullying has been quite widespread down there, including from some MPs you probably wouldn't think of. I know one girl who says she'll 'never work for another woman MP' because of  the grief she's had from a couple. If you work for one any longer than a year you're considered to be pretty thick skinned. I reckon if you did an FOI on how many Parliamentary staff have been signed off with stress in recent years it'd be pretty eye-opening. 

 

This is probably only getting more press than usual because it impacts a connected civil servant who's not used to getting his ear bent and wants a few quid. For every one of him though, there's 50 office monkeys with PTSD about slamming doors and cold coffee being poured in bins.

After what happened last time regarding the Israeli unauthorised  meetings there is no way Patel should have got near another cabinet position but being honest I don’t know why anyone is arsed or bothered as they’ve got an 80 seat majority and they’re in for pretty much the next 9 years at least . The fact he should have sacked Cummings and I’m sure a couple of others who I can’t think of proves they really don’t give a shit what anyone else thinks .

 

Suck it up and get used to it .

The abuse of power that this government is getting away with is disgusting and this is only the things we know about, what else is going on I wonder.

 

The more they get away with, the worse they'll get.

 

I hated Thatcher and her cronies and the stunts they pulled, but this shower have to go down as the worst.

 

Untrustworthy,  unscrupulous and downright dishonest. 

The ultimate do as I say and not as I do party.

 

Another 4 years of this is going to be soul destroying.
