Stuntman_Mike Posted 20 November 2020 Share Posted 20 November 2020 (edited) This Priti Patel situation Imagine a headteacher resigning because they've proved a student was bullying other kids at school. Atleast do us a favour and just rig the outcome of the investigation or don't allow it to go ahead in the first place haha Madness.

What are the odds there'll be an "apology" and she'll end up in charge of some other department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted 20 November 2020 Share Posted 20 November 2020 So are we in this thread now comparing two black female politicians and saying one is a bit daft, lacks competence in interview situations but is generally well intentioned - and another is a manipulative, evil bully with limited understanding of others and blindly supports inherently racist criminal justice policies? I'm just checking because they sound like a couple of interesting points of view. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoopid Posted 20 November 2020 Share Posted 20 November 2020 Every time I hear Pritti Patel speak, I'm irresistibly reminded of Alf Ramsey. She's got the same habit of cuttin' off the g of words endin' in 'ing' and generally bein' rather pompous and too careful in speech. Used to crack me up when Alf did it - with her I find it slightly sinister. That's not a judgement incidentally, just an observation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon the Hat Posted 20 November 2020 Share Posted 20 November 2020 I can't help feeling that these senior civil servants wouldn't have complained if their shouty demanding boss was a white middle aged man. I might be completely wrong here, but I am not convinced she is any more a bully than many many other leaders. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying that, I am sure the stories are true, however there seems to be an acceptance of arsehole male bosses which doesn't apply to women. Held to a different standard maybe.

leicsmac Posted 20 November 2020 Share Posted 20 November 2020 I'm inclined to think that "women can do anything the men do, so long as they only do what the men do" is still a mite misogynist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't particularly like her to be honest, but it is hard to separate the reaction to her in general at the home office - she doesn't seem terribly popular - and this bullying issue. As my son learnt at school this week, bullying is doing something to upset someone Several Times On Purpose (STOP). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Facecloth Posted 20 November 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 20 November 2020 We've had a few female ministers, especially as Home Secretary. 4 of the last 6 in fact. I'm sure some of the same people there worked under May, Rudd and possibly but less likely Smith. I don't remember reports of bullying back then. I can't remember reports of bullying from other ministerial departments run by women. Priti Patel is a despicable human being, she proven that over and over, and this is another situation that confirms. Its ridiculous to even try and defend her, and to try and make out she's been treated differently as woman is even more ridiculous, and naive. 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH I'd like to see Matt back here just so he can explain exactly how the protests in the US right now by right-wingers are justified and the ones at the same time in 2016 by left-wingers are not - despite the numerical result being exactly the same in favour of the winner both times.

Mike Oxlong Posted 21 November 2020 Share Posted 21 November 2020 What a worm Boris is if he tried to get the independent investigator to make his report into Patel “more palatable” Actually, that comment is rather unfair.

Bellend Sebastian Posted 21 November 2020 Share Posted 21 November 2020 (edited) Body shaming is obviously wrong, but in the spirit of the rules applying to everyone except those that don't want them to apply to them, Priti Patel has a tall, attractive person's head stuck on your little fat Auntie Pam's bod and if you are ever bullied by her (Priti Patel, not your Auntie Pam, she's a wonderful woman) it's your civic duty to point this out to her Edited 21 November 2020 by Bellend Sebastian I made it even more brilliant 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strokes Posted 21 November 2020 Share Posted 21 November 2020 I remember Gordon Brown brushing his own complaints of bullying at the treasury under the carpet. I’m not saying it’s right but it’s hardly anything new. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying it’s right but it’s hardly anything new. Hasn't there been new rules and a new regulatory body brought in since then, on the back of things going on in the past and being ignored. So I'm not saying it was fine when Brown, or anyone else did it, and not now, but we didn't have an independent panel that could look at it and give advice on how to deal with it, and they could sweep it under the carpet. We're supposed to have improved. Now we do have the independent body, I think brought in by Johnson to his credit, and Johnson has said he's anti bullying. And when the independent body he set up to look into bullying, something that he claims to be strongly against, tells him his minister has broken ministerial code by bullying staff, he decides to ignore it. Thats the problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
