priti patel bullying charges and the rule breaking

So, at long last, the bullying investigation regarding Priti Patel has been leaked to the press, and it's a good job it was, as there is no way our great and glorious leader Boris Johnson would have released it.  This time, the rather delightful Ms Patel was found to have been in breach of The Ministerial Code (again), but the bullying may have 'been carried out unintentionally' (but did cause the resignation of Philip Rutnam, the then Home Office Permanent Secretary). If this was her first offence, l would have had some sympathy for her, although a lot more for the victims.  However, this is the third time she has been accused of it, in three different departments, and has already had to settle out of court and pay damages with a former employee (and has already had to resign once for previously breaking The Ministerial Code). She is a serial offender. Who would have expected that from her? Even the apology was a classic case of a non apology along the lines of 'I'm sorry if other people have been offended'. Of course Boris Johnson has backed her, and gone against the report, basically dismissing it, and getting other MPs to show support to her, leading to the resignation of the person who oversaw the report, Sir Alex Allan, Whitehall's independent advisor on ministerial standards, who at least has shown some backbone. If Ms Patel had burned the report in the middle of The Houses of Parliament and crapped on it, Boris would just say she hadn't, and exonerate her, saying the matter was now closed, but that does not make it right. However, what do you expect from this rule breaking government, in anti bullying week, and just after axing anti LGBT bullying projects in schools?  All they have done is lie and bluff, meanwhile lining the pockets of their friends and backers, with a total disregard of what is expected of a government, which should be leading by example, especially in the middle of a crisis and the Brexit shitshow.  Apart from their general ineptitude and disregard for what is right (such as feeding hungry children), l do think that it is also a deliberate ploy to undermine democracy, rather  like Trump has been doing in America.  Once all the rules as are no longer effective, and the population becomes blasé about the rule breaking, they are free to do away with freedoms, worker protection, housing regulations, and all the other irritating titbits that prevent the rich getting richer. All of this is being done right in front of our eyes both here and in America, and things are only going to get worse. Well done to all of the fuckwits who voted these bastards in, and expected them to change, show compassion, and not be corrupt. I didn't expect anything else.

There may well be some kind of a civil war in America soon, but where's a revolution when you want one?
