BBC: PM staff 'called bully helpline'
Several people in Gordon Brown's office have contacted an anti-bullying charity, its boss has told the BBC.
Christine Pratt said "three or four" calls had been made to the National Bullying Helpline in recent years.
Earlier Lord Mandelson denied claims Mr Brown had been warned about his temper, saying he "doesn't bully people".
Ms Pratt said she was not saying the PM was a bully, but said some of his staff "have concerns". Downing Street has yet to respond to the claims.
It follows a separate story in the Observer alleging that the head of the civil service Sir Gus O'Donnell was so concerned he had a word with Gordon Brown about his behaviour towards staff.
'Without foundation'
A book by the newspaper's chief political commentator Andrew Rawnsley includes details of incidents where it is alleged Mr Brown grabbed staff by the lapels, shoved them aside and shouted at them.
A BULLY HELPLINE!?!? FOR ADULTS!?!? ONLY IN THE NANNYSTATE THAT WAS ONCE THE GREATEST EMPIRE ON EARTH.
SIGH.
AND ANOTHER THING: GORDON BROWN IS A TYPICAL DO-GOODER LEFTIST: A TOTAL FREAKIN' HYPOCRITE: LIKE A GOOD LITTLE "PROGRESSIVE" HE PORTRAYS HIMSELF AS A CARING MAN AND THE TORIES AS MISANTHROPES.
IT'S REALLY THE OTHER WAY AROUND - AND FOR A REASON:
- PROGRESSIVES ARE STATISTS WHO DON'T THINK REGULAR PEOPLE ARE GOOD ENOUGH TO TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES. IT'S A CORE-BELIEF: THE LEFT THINKS THE PEOPLE ARE INCOMPETENT; THAT'S WHY THE LEFT SUPPORT A NANNYSTATE RUN BY AN "EDUCATED" ELITE.
OBVIOUSLY, BROWN FEELS HIS STAFF OF "REGULAR PEOPLE" IS ALSO INCOMPETENT, AND HE CAN'T STAND IT.
- BELIEVING THAT THE PEOPLE ARE BASICALLY INCOMPETENT IS MISANTHROPIC, AND IT'S WHY LEFTIST GOVERNMENTS DEVOLVE SO EASILY INTO TYRANNY AND GENOCIDE:
- LEFTISTS FEEL THAT THE ONLY THINGS BETWEEN THE CURRENT SITUATION AND THEIR VISION OF UTOPIA ARE INCOMPETENT OR EVIL PEOPLE WHO MIGHT AS WELL BE "ELIMINATED".
They devolve quickly into genocide because they need someone to blame for their failed policies. Lefties never take responsibility and always blame others. I know of no exceptions to this.
