Lee Anderthal at it again. They seem to genuinely believe that bullying and trying to intimidate people is a good way to get things done.

They’ve been allowed to get away with it for years. Why wouldn’t they believe it?

That is outrageous. I wonder if it’s actually criminal as well as unethical. Appalling from the Tories.
You're going to have to be more specific, which story?

Respectfully, Guardian exclusives slagging off the government carry about as much weight with me as Daily Mail ones praising them. I’m not saying there’s nothing in it, knowing these arseholes it’s likely to be true, but I’ll wait for other sources before this particular witch-hunt, if that’s okay.More bullying ministers;;

It has worked for most of history. Only making it illegal has curtailed it.
They are scum, though, these arrogant pricks who think they know things such as the law better than, for example, a senior policeman.
Didn't he say 'should of' at one point? If he went to public school it must have been in the US somewhere (where 'public' school actually means state school, and typically at the Poundland end of the eduMacAtional spectrum)

Possibly unlawful, and the Electoral Commission should take them to court. Oh wait, Boris put his own man into the Electoral Commission. Cronyism again.

He is trying to get strikes cancelled, and using regular time-tested means to do so. It is a completely different situation. The Raab case was a professionalism/inter-personal relationship case of bullying.The Royal College of Nursing goo enough for you?

And yes, I am fully behind the nurses 100%.
Your replies on the Diane Abbott thread aren’t coming through by the way, is everything working okay at your end? Would love to hear your views on the latest antisemitic attack?

If this man turned up cleaning the toilets in my local, I would write a letter of complaint to the landlord. Deputy Chairman of the Conservative party ?
The greatest tory politicians of the last century would be turning in their f***ing graves. I have spent a number of years on here warning what was going to happen, but even I am stunned how low the leadership of the Conservative party have sunk. Put the whole bunch of ****s in a ditch
To be fair, I roll my eyes at many Guardian pieces these days.
However, I know they get corroboration before running stories in print or online so they can be fairly well relied upon in most cases.
Their opinion pieces and lifestyle articles are mostly ludicrous, assuming anyone who supports the left also enjoys ginger and fennel vegan protein balls and is obsessed with trans-gender issues.
But for news and football? You’d have to go a long way in this country to beat it.
I take The Week in printed form as I find it an easily digestible, impartial round-up that I can read through over a couple of days. And I get my daily news from Guardian online and BBC radio and online.

Yeah but, Yeah but, Yeah but.
If you seriously want to get a proper conservative party back from this cabal, not trying to defend them and not going for whataboutism would be a good start
(And I have voted for conservative candidates a number of times in the past before this cabal arrived).

I too find value in any newsworthy story, no matter who breaks it. The Grauniad have their moments and their lifestyle stuff is not my thing. I am not saying there is nothing in the story - I will just wait for the response/other outlets perspective.

Well, I’d like proper opposition for whoever is in government. Under this Tory shambles I wanted a strong Labour opposition, under our upcoming Labour government I’d like a strong Conservative opposition.Yeah but, Yeah but, Yeah but.

Incidentally I will be voting Labour at the next election, and have voted Lib Dem or independent as many times as I’ve voted Tory in my life.
I am pointing out hypocrisy such is my wont.

That's what's so baffling to me though - the person he's addressing is in a senior position and presumably has quite a lot influence. I could understand it (but wouldn't agree with it) if he was speaking like that to someone serving him in a restaurant or answering the phone at an office/dental surgery/GP practice/whatever (people who do these jobs have my full respect but I've seen how they get spoken to by some people).
To think that speaking to someone else in that way and think it's going to achieve something, you'd surely have to be drunk, high on crystal meth or in the middle of some sort of mental health crisis? Bizarre.
