Priti Awful

It’s national anti-bullying week so it is great timing that an official investigation into the Home Secretary, Priti Patel, has found that she bullied staff although you would have never have thought so judging by the smirk she had on her face as she stepped out of the Downing Street door after Boris Johnson said he wouldn't be sacking her.
She did say that she was 'absolutely sorry' and that she 'never intentionally set out to upset anyone' although she never added 'so its their fault for getting upset and they can go f*k themselves' although she may as well have done.
So enraged was the Civil Servant who conducted the investigation, Sir Alex Allan, that the Prime Minister informed the country that the ministerial code had not been breached straight after he had informed the Prime Minister that Priti Patel’s behaviour had breached the ministerial code, he has resigned.
That Priti Patel, or Priti awful excuse for a Home Secretary as she will now be known, said that if she had bullied people it was unintentional which isn't much of an excuse, surely the steady stream of complaints about her for years from all three of the departments she has run was a bit of a heads up she was upsetting them.
When he took office last year, Boris Johnson rewrote the foreword to the ministerial code, and the start of his fourth paragraph clearly states: 'There must be no bullying and no harassment' so her appointment by Boris after her past sacking by Theresa May was highly questionable but the PM has as good as said that he has full confidence in her continuing to scream, shout and swear at Civil Servants.
Try that one next time you are stopped by a policeman for speeding, 'I'm sorry but i never intentionally set out to drive too fast', see how far that gets you.
