Site Supporter Winchester White Posted November 20, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted November 20, 2020 Show the chap in charge of the independent report on whether she broke the ministerial code on bullying finds she did. Johnson then reads it and says she didn't and the case is closed. He has now resigned his position. Unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Cheese Posted November 20, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted November 20, 2020 Ministerial Code obviously means fuck all. This government is the embodiment of "Do as I say, not as I do". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Wanderer Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Bloody lovely thread this. So the solution to illegal immigration is drowning people. Mothers and babies included of course. And anyone who is bullied in the workplace is just a woke snowflake who needs to man the fuck up. If in place, I wonder if those policies would make this country a safer and more prosperous place to live in ten years.

Nowack Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I have met many people in work who cover a lack of ability and intelligence with table thumping and bullying. The anecdotal evidence leads me to believe she is one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed to like putting people on edge or putting them down (I was young at the time and he had a sarcy pop at me after I'd 'discovered' something as part of my work in the labs). An absolute de-motivator. However, at the same time I'd been let down by the company secretary etc and not been put into the company pension scheme, and lost entitled contributions. Basically other folk not doing their job. In the end I had no option but to report it, the same MD listened and by the end of the day the payments I was entitled to were sorted. So a fair bloke, yes. A cunt yes. Capable- overall don't know as he was only there for a few months! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not in Crawley Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 1 hour ago, Mr Grey said: She was at one point, or at least held a shadow cabinet position. I dont mind Patel, a lot of it is paper/media talk and the usual whitch hunt in some circles. She deserves time. Her hands are tied at the moment with regards to immigration, once Brexit is complete or done or over, I'm sure she will start cracking on with business. I imagine some dont like like her because she doesnt suit their BAME narrative, unlike the Lammys of this world. No she doesn't, an independent inquiry has found her guilty of not adhering to ministerial codes. That's been ignored. No other ministers have been let off with similar findings. An incompetent, out of her depth, over promoted bully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Future PM that geezer, David Lammy. Will succeed Prime Minister Sir Kier Starmer one day. All the bigots will be apoplectic but will be totally powerless to do owt. First black PM.

Youri McAnespie Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Then you welsh when incumbent PM Lammy heads to Buckingham Palace to see the Queen due to sour grapes?

He’s as much chance as abacus of being the first black prime minister. biggest thing holding him back is he is a racist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The counter argument is that I have also met people who have these traits who are very clever, the response is borne from frustration. Frustration at the inabilities of those around you, the character Gordan Ramsey springs to mind. I do not think that she falls into this category. In both cases they can be fair.
