Stand by for a verruca pandemic.

I read about what your party gets away with every day and weep.

Reported on the BBC news tonight that the Tories don’t seem to be doing too much about the Islsmophobia in the party. Also an old Etonian chum and tennis partner of Johnson has a company which has just been given a juicy sum of public money. We are also still waiting to hear about whether Johnson has acted improperly about the funding given to his “tech adviser.” What was that you were saying about draining the swamp Duckie? Any idea when that is likely to start?

Go back and read what I said. Every situation is different but all difficult situations have to be addressed. Patel has a long history of bullying. Why hasn’t it been addressed properly before? It should not have been allowed to get this far. Not dealing with it earlier is an issue. In a normal workplace if you get to a point where someone has to be sacked, the system has failed. With senior cabinet ministers the standard used to be higher, to the point where you were expected to resign if you were caught lying or if your behaviour feel below an accepted level. During the last 10 years of Tory rule the standards have slipped.

Therefore no decent worker had ever been bullied in the work place? Lol. My wife worked for 33 years in the CPS and worked her way up to a senior management position. Every one of her annual appraisals for full of praise for her commitment, quality of work, interpersonal skills etc. All except the last when she was systematically bullied by several senior managers in her department. I was working there at the time and witnessed it first hand. There seems to be something inherent with people of a far right persusasion. People on benefits are scrounges. Only poor performing workers get bullied. All immigrants are lazy, sexual predators, thieves etc. Patel has managed to upset people in three different departments. There is a pattern of behaviour there. I don’t think that she should be sacked until an independent enquiry has taken place, but she should certainly be stood down from her very high and responsible office while she is under investigation.

Virtually every day the media or social media was calling out Corbyn for being an anti-Semite. Remember? You yourself said that Bercow had been pulled up for bullying when trying to pint score again me. Remember?

I don’t know if you have ever worked in management? I have and have been on several courses on how to manage poorly performing and/or difficult individuals. None of the courses mentioned that bullying was the answer. If situations become difficult most organisations have an HR policy to help both managers and employees deal with difficult situations. If there are long standing situations you have to ask why management/employees have left things so long before addressing poor behaviour. If the civil service is as useless as some would have us believe, why has it taken the Tories 10 years to do anything about it?

I should have added it is perfectly possible to hold people to account without bulling them and good managers should not let work situations get to the point where disciplinary action is necessary.

It is quite simple, if you are well managed you don’t walk away from a situation feeling that you have been bullied.

I don’t know. Don’t leave us in suspense. What was it?

Corbyn apparently is an anti Semite yet has not been found guilty of being so. Bercow is a bully yet has not been found guilty of being so. Patel is innocent until proven guilty. Hmmmm.

Perhaps you should direct that comment to the other Tories on here who have already decided that she is completely innocent of any wrongdoing?

My wife has been bullied in two different jobs in the last few years, in both cases by women. It left her depressed and suicidal. There is no excuse for bullying anywhere, but certainly not in your place of employment and by your seniors. The case seems to be growing daily about Patel’s behaviour. It does no credit to those who continue to play down her behaviour.

Sorry to hear that mate.

Good to see a Tory supporting bullying in the workplace. It goes along with what Theresa May herself said. The Tories are turning into the Nasty Party.

Lovren looked all over the place against Watford and did VVD’s misplaced header set up Barclays counter attack for Chelsea’s second last night?

Being teased in the media last night that Genesis were going to reform for concerts this year only to find out that reformation does not included Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett.

You could have added people who add “fact” at the end of a sentence in order to shut down any argument.

He is. He joined the Tory party just before the last election and publicly endorses Johnson. Another bullying claim from Patel comes to light this morning along with a report of a “spad” being sacked for accusing Cummings of “unkindness.” Not the greatest start for a new government. As hypo would say #BeKind.

Another Tory has been arrested for common assault whilst on holiday in Centre Parks. One nation party?

Bercow is a Tory isn’t he? One of your own.

So Duckie, why do you think it is so improbable that Patel could bully a man. Is it because she is a woman.

Re your last point, I heard something similar, that we absorb the same amount of information in a day that an average medieval person took in in a lifetime. There used to be no such thing as road rage and now you see examples of it everyday. The same with burn out. At some point it will all come crashing down. We can’t continue to live as we do but it will take something like another major war or a massive pandemic (a lot worse than the Coronavirus) to bring about the changes we need.

Nothing at all like this. What exactly is your point?
