Well I must say I was gobsmacked by the rowdy audience support given to Patel on this week's Question Time. Of course, she was doughtily defended by the dreadful Matt Hancock (a major architect of the destruction of our NHS whilst hypocritically sporting a prominent NHS badge), who couldn't respond to the valid suggestion that she might be very nice to her peers but a shocking serial bully to her underlings, instead resorting to the lame "innocent until proven guilty" defence (the latter an unlikely outcome as there is to be no truly independent enquiry, despite his disingenuous protestations). Of course, being nice to your "equals" whilst bullying the lower orders is a sure sign of not only a serious personality flaw but also of utter incompetence.

Dick and Jim, that's a very disturbing read, especially considering that the author of the piece has tried to be measured and balanced.
