Mr Sensible – I agree. Confidential is confidential. I just worry as I said before about the little people and personally her organisation is doomed.

No one with a problem of bullying would even consider going to her charity now!

And Anon E Mouse, one would like to hope that in the volontary sector people from 1 organization would not have a go at the other for the sake of it.

And given that these concerns are being expressed within Ms Prat’s own organization, I think she’s on thin ice.

“Mr.Sensible – The woman didn’t even personally name Brown and went out of her way to explain that was the case…”

No, but coming as it did the day after that story broke…

BTW I now hear that Anne Widecome has gone.

Mr.Sensible – We are told from a woman who runs a rival anti bullying charity (how many are there) who has called for this woman to resign.

It was the culture under McBride and Co that was the problem. I dislike the way Tony Blair, Labour’s best electoral asset, was “briefed against” as it was described.

The trouble here is it’s all suspicion and Chinese whispers except that it was mentioned in Hansard which shows there is something.

Personally I think people are not thick skinned enough to take those high pressure positions but I just don’t like the idea of a party machine moving in to quash a story because it presents them in an unfavourable light.

Same as Prescot and the poor way that secretary he had the fling with was moved on. It’s the little people who suffer and it just isn’t fair…

And, finally, Mcbride (bad though he is) is just 1, and he had to know.

Any others?

“apparently the individual took time off for stress over the matter.”

How do we know?

The only people who say that are the National Bullying Helpline who some of the suspician is about!

And how do we know that the complaints talked about in Hansard, and this, are linked?

And why has it taken until this book for all this to happen?

I entirely agree bullying is wrong, but I am suspicious about this story.

Furthermore, I notice in the BBC article I linked to earlier that Bullying UK have criticized the all but identification of one of the “complainants”, or something to that effect.
