It’s a pervasive culture problem with the Tories

It could go no other way. When a party’s philosophy can be boiled down to “the cruelty is the point”, of course it’s going to attract bullies and sadists to its leadership.

another top minister, Gavin Williamson, was also pushed out for recently for threatening workers

As punishment, Williamson - former fireplay salesman of the year (not making that up) and previously fired for leaking national security documents - received a knighthood.

The new deputy PM is Oliver Dowden. He’s still a Tory bastard (I know, All Tories Are Bastards).

Dowden exudes the camp menace of Mark Williams’s character from the ‘Suit You’ sketches in ‘The Fast Show’.

It is an indescribable shame that we are losing the talents of a minister of this calibre.

A conservative treating people like dirt. Color me surprised.

This [your choice of drastic insult of the four letterish variety] “worries” that the bullying threshold is too low. This horrible creature ruined careers, made people cry, and made others seek therapy, but he’s convinced he acted professionally and rightly all along.

Sure, that shit’s perfectly right should one be a professional rich, cruel, entitled [four letterish insult of your choice]. That’s how one punches down one’s entire silver spoon’d life, and all without consquence.

Zackly. None of them are any better than housekeeping servants. They all require an occasional kick up the backside, just to keep 'em working hard and in line. Can’t allow The Help to get above their station, now.
