Braverman trying to dodge SAC
Discussion
I can't stand her but I'm not seeing a problem here. High profile politician thinks it would be difficult to do a public SAC, so asks the people who work for her to find out if she can do a private one. They go away, ask, get told the answer is no, and pass that info on. So she decides against a SAC and takes the points.
Personally, I think high profile govt ministers should be able to do a private SAC. It's not practical to do a public one, so she has to take the points when she doesn't want to. She hasn't really got the options you or I have.

You've missed the crucial a step here, which is that after she was told it wasn't possible to arrange a one on one course, she [apparently] asked an aide to try and lean on the course provider to make an exception. That's the objectionable bit, i would have thought? Using her position to try and assert inappropriate pressure and influence the decision making of civil servants?rigga said:

Privacy of her own home.
I did an online one last year and recall it was very strongly stated at the outset that the session was confidential and there would be serious repercussions should anyone breach that and identify attendees outside of that session.Privacy of her own home.
There were 15-20 people in my class, if Braverman were amongst them I doubt I'd have noticed.
It's speeding not GBH, should have just got on with it and no-one would have taken any notice.
I don't think she was trying to dodge anything.
However opting to take points rather than having people know she's speeding shows she's as thick as mince.
Especially as she must have known it would come out, shows she's as thick as mince.
Which proves everything I've ever thought about her, she's as thick as mince.

A non-story, except yet another Civil Servant fails to respect the confidentiality of their Minister.
Precisely! I did a SAC online and the webcams people used were clearly visible to everyone else. She would probably have been identified by at least one of the participants BUT so what? She should have just attended online and put it behind her.

two sides to every story, someone else might think that being responsible for law and order in this country should follow the rules, and not try to corrupt the process. It then also questions the integrity and morality, but clearly this current government lacks these anyway so probably will get a medal.911hope said:

Entirely appropriate to make people aware that home secretary tried to bend the legal process to her advantage.Very stupid of her to think it would not get out.
