The Conservative Party

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

That is an absurd comparison. Absolutely absurd.

In your opinion, which I respect btw.

She is sorry she "upset" people. That's inferring they can't take constructive criticism and the fault is with them, not her.
Bullying, from someone senior at work, whether intentional or not is bullying.

Absolutely, she was sorry "that my behaviour in the past has upset people". Disgraceful but, let’s face it, not a surprise. Johnson condoning bullying. The nasty party rules.

 

[mackenzie]

Maybe she's inferring that she's sorry?

Maybe, but she hasn't said she is sorry for bullying. The wording is deliberate.

At what point will this government draw a line and say that something is unacceptable? How can they let bullying go unpunished?

I suppose the answer to that is within the report - has anybody commenting actually read it?

As long as they like, next 4 years and an 80 seat majority says so.

At whatever point they think their actions are putting reelection in jeopardy.

Well that’s reassuring. Glad the country is in safe hands.

 

[Ifwecouldjust.......]

The return of the nasty party.

They never left ...

The report has not been published. What has been published is highlights with a conclusion. Johnson stated the conclusion was wrong, hence the author of the report has resigned.

 

[homerdog]

No idea

Clearly!

What amuses me no end is the notion that someone on the Govt front bench has not met 'the high standards' expected of a minister. What fuckin' high standards? It seems that yer can do WTF yer want, say WTF yer want, apologise that someone might have been upset, and then just carry on. Had she badmouthed Boris's intended then she would have been sacked.

But it won't matter 'cos by the time the election comes along they will have filled enough pockets to walk into highly paid employment in the private sector.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

At what point will this government draw a line and say that something is unacceptable?

When they don't have an 80 seat majority.

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Havant read all the thread but has anyone mentioned the fact that this would be the second time PP has been sacked for breaching the M code.

Quite a shocking record really.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Is anyone remotely surprised about this?

She did something wrong, it got investigated, she apologised and we all move on - just sounds like normal life tbh.

So if Harold Shipman had just said sorry, all good, off you trot sunshine? (and don't worry, I'm not comparing the two, that would be deeply unfair on Shipman)

Wolverhampton binmen celebrate the 3 year pay freeze. Getting twisted again.

Shipman never murdered any of my grandparents, so it's difficult to comment.
