Discussion

It's even weirder when we remember that in 2017, we taxpayers ended up paying off, to the tune of £25,000, one of her staff who'd been forced out by her at the DWP in 2015.
This was done in order to head off legal proceedings by said staff member against her for bullying & harassment, along with her discriminating against them on the grounds of their race & disability.
She has form. She is a serial bully and has seemingly never modified her behaviour toward those she works with.
Yet here we are with Tuna desperately trying to defend her and suggest that she is just a poor lamb who needs to be given another chance.
Let’s be clear about Patel for the benefit of her gallant PH defenders. She has had chance after chance after chance to assess and adjust her nasty bullying behaviour. She has chosen not to. By anyone’s standards, this is unacceptable. Her continued role as Home Secretary devalues the tories, Parliament and the U.K.s standing in the eyes of the world.

I genuinely feel Dominic Cummings aims with regards the civil service were laudable if not his manner of conduct, perhaps Patel felt empowered by the 'message' from on high? I will miss Cummings, his no affiliation status to any party actually kept the Tory party from lurching ever further right. He is an intellectual anarchist and has some kinda out there thoughts. I would rather he controlled Boris than some of the more clandestine figures of the Tory party's partisan right wing who will encourage our shape shifting PM to embrace ever more populist policies and drag a once great party further into the mire in which it is currently knee deep...

She's only a mouthy disaster in a specific and limited way. Unfortunately that means the government have to keep accepting specific and limited senior civil servant resignations and paying out specific and limited damages.Unknown_User said:

She's got a s
t load of dirt on Boris.Cummings has a s
t load on Boris but there's a quid pro quo there.She is Boris' Rudy Giuliani. Pound to a pinch of salt!

Does nobody remember Gordon Brown apparently throwing things (pens, mobile phone, staplers) at his aides on a regular basis when he was PM? Guardian The most senior politician in the country and it hardly bore a mention.
Well it bloody should have. We spend our time telling our kids to act in a respectful mannerful way whilst those on charge do exactly the opposite. How would you feel if your children grew up like a Blair, a Brown, a Patel or a Johnson...or worse, a Trump. Yet many vociferously defend these scoundrels because of the colour of their rosette. Role models? Pah!motco said:

I don’t see anyone defending Brown. Bullying is simply unacceptable. Unless your Priti Patel and Boris Johnson. Wasn’t Bojo implicated in a plan to inflict physical harm to another human being? Nasty piece of work. Says it all really.

Just a phone call involving mentions of things like a few cracked ribs.Wasn’t Bojo implicated in a plan to inflict physical harm to another human being? Nasty piece of work. Says it all really.
When asked why he didn't remove himself from the phone call his answer was "Loyalty to an old friend".
Sound familiar?

Just because someone else might have been twonk in the past, is never a reason to excuse bad behaviour. Riff Raff said:
Yeah but there's a really good reason why what she said then shouldn't apply now.

Patel is a nasty bully. She's as thick as two short planks too. I spent some time at her request trying to explain how our autonomous ship was controlled and how the comms system worked when she made a PR visit.
It was like trying to teach a Labrador calculus. Not. A. Clue.
Now, I have spent a career as a flying instructor and training Captain, so I am very used to teaching people how to understand technical stuff. She was just offensively stupid, as well as incredibly rude and obnoxious to all.
An absolute horror.
As for Brown. Please show us the report or proof that he did those things and I will happily and roundly condemn him.
Do not attempt to suggest that there are any double standards. Workplace bullies are appalling and she is one. Your utterly incorrect attempt to try and attack me as you believe I condone someone else doing someone else despite zero evidence of me having said or done that, is quite a startling amount of utter nonsense, even by your standards.
In other words. Get back in your box. You are talking absolute rubbish.
