There you go again BT, more virtue-signalling drivel. A report from Dame Laura Cox came out this week, she had been asked to investigate the alleged bullying and ***ual harassment of House of Commons staff, in other words, their working conditions The BBC report that...
"Dame Laura, a former high court judge, found "a culture, cascading from the top down, of deference, subservience, acquiescence and silence, in which bullying, harassment and ***ual harassment have been able to thrive and have long been tolerated and concealed".
"She heard from 200 people about a place overwhelmed with culture of deference where victims feel guilty for their victimhood.
MPs are a major part of the problem; she wrote: "Some MPs were alleged to be "serial offenders" and there was said to be widespread and long-standing awareness internally of their behaviour. It is not possible to put a precise figure on the number of MPs who are alleged to have behaved in this way, but the accounts indicate that alleged bullying behaviour has been a more widespread problem than one limited to a few individuals. And, while some of the allegations relate to the past, others reveal that it continues to be a problem."
"The new grievance processes should allow old claims to be reopened. At the moment, old cases cannot be raised under the House's new improved complaints process. This would permit investigation of John Bercow, Speaker of the House, who is accused of mistreating two of his private secretaries and would also re-open cases like those of Paul Farrelly, a Labour MP, who was the subject of an old process that Dame Laura regarded as insufficient."
The man directly responsible for this shameful culture of abuse is the Speaker of the House, John Bercow. There have been calls for him to resign, but of course he's keeping his head down and staying put, despite one MP bringing up the case of her constituent at PMQs, and asking what is going to be done about the abuse she has suffered working under Bercow. Nothing is going to be done about Bercow, because Labour MPs flatly refuse to move against him, they want to keep him in place because they believe he will be on their side in the upcoming Brexit debates. So political expediency is more important to Labour than the working conditions of ordinary people, they can suffer abuse at work, as long as the abuser is on Labour's side, that's OK.
The hypocrisy just keeps on coming, in the last few days we've hypocrisy on inherited wealth, private school education, zero hours contracts, worker's rights, plus denigration of people who have died for their country, and there's the ongoing anti-Semitism problem. I would dearly love to help you get this dangerous bunch of halfwits out of office BT, but anyone who thinks that a bunch of virtue signalling, lefty hypocrites is going to do anything but make the country a bigger shambles than it already is, has got to have had their brains addled.
