As a long term councillor I have dealt with people in public service. They have good points and bad points. They tend to be reliable and steady without being especially dynamic. What is essential though is employment rules are followed, that is what they are there for. If you are unhappy with the performance of an employee screaming, swearing and throwing staplers at them all tend to be roughly equal in terms of the improvement it is likely to bring about. The woman is a harridan, little man syndrome in a woman.

My niece spent 20 years working in Westminster, attaining senior civil servant status. She is now with HMRC, having got fed up with trying to get “power mad, egotistical arseholes to do the right thing”.
Having been brought up by her mother (my sister) who is a Mail reading and card carrying Tory and Mrs Bucket wannabe, it is refreshing to know that she has never voted for the Tories and that she is embarrassed by her mother’s choice of paper, something she has tried to change, to no avail.
She has regularly pointed out the lies in the Mail, to her mum, but her mum always preferred to believe the paper, rather than her daughter who may have been handling documentation directly related to the stories.

Logic and common sense truths don't work on many who's entrenched views are so firm it's not worth arguing.

Anyone got anything on this? It did mention a specific Tory MP who hasn’t been seen in Parliament since 01/08/20, but I won’t put the name on here, in case it is without foundation.

Not in blue, so I'm guessing you either forgot or you're in full Troll mode today

It was of course meant to be in blue but I wasn't sure whether to do so as there are undoubtedly those who would be in full agreement with the sentiment.

I of course think it is she who deserves a metaphorical kick up the backside that propels her out of office.

No .... not at all .... the U.K. should just refuse entry to those. We’re British, so we should be able to go anywhere and have full coverage. After all, we invented the world .......



(Perhaps this should be in blue?)

Whilst chatting to those foreigners in their country in English and then getting annoyed when they don't understand you.

The solution is of course, to either shout louder or stick an 'o' on the end of each word and then you'll be understood.

Some one has to wipe your arse and empty the piss pot whilst they have a second job picking fruit and veg or delivering mail. Bloody Brits above that sort of job, social security scroungers with bloated families all.
