It's a surefire sign that you have no reasoned argument when you must resort to personal comments rather than the subject at hand.
For somebody that doesn't care you seem determined to participate and to be somewhat odious in your responses too.
You're obviously hurting at my pointing out the obvious, which is (again) that sensible, sane people are capable of recognizing that weasle words are not conclusive evidence.
If you don't like that being pointed out to you I politely suggest you try not dishing out unpleasantness.
In your case the truth obviously hurts.
Basing your argument upon pure supposition - which the whole report seems to be - was never going to end well.
As obstructive, disingenuous civil servants are beginning to find out.
At long last.
You are a pretty obnoxious disagreeable chap yourself who thinks he knows it all aren't you. Clearly you despise anyone disagreeing with your opinion for that is all it is .... your own opinion.
Not fact.
Possibly this bellicose style of interaction with others is Patel's modus operandi too and that's why you can both support and relate to her. It does, one has to admit, often produce the desired result.
On my part I stand by what I said ... the resultant decision by Boris on this has set a precedent for anyone pursuing a tribunal for bullying in the workplace.
In the future anyone about to make any allegation will have to think twice. Shouting and swearing is apparently now acceptable.
It's not open minded or even fair minded or impartial to support the bully purely because you have a low opinion of the victims she allegedly bullied. I say allegedly as you seem to be in some doubt as to whether she was.
Anything else was just for my own curiosity to see how far you could be 'wound up and set off running ' .. and you did not disappoint. Your debating style is rather the backroom lawyer type. As a rule, for that reason, you're best avoided and left to strut and pontificate in the enclosure of your own mind.
