Where’s Bad Al?
One man who knows a thing or two about the culture of bullying at Number 10 is Alastair Campbell. In the last few months he has been quick to use his blog and Twitter to rapidly rebut anti-Gordon stories. Given the news agenda is dominated by such things, you would think Campbell would be on top of this, offering his two cents and pushing the lines. A quick check shows nothing but deafening silence from Bad Al. So come on Alastair, have you ever witnessed a culture of bullying at Number 10?
As ever, blundering thug John Prescott has waded in suggesting any claims of bullying at Number 10 are void because someone once complained while Coulson was at the Screws etc. Lets not forget John’s own past, or “a bully from a more brutal age” as the Telegraph once put it.
Casualty?
We’re all covering up the Prime Mentalist’s violent and thuggish nature together.
Where’s bully boy Campbell?
Well, he has disappeared up his own backside of course!
Imagine if Pratt were a bully ? You couldn’t make that up.
No need.
http://dizzythinks.net/2010/02/whoops.html
Oh dear, this doesn’t make pretty reading. In the case of Pratt v. Sanden International (Europe) Ltd a female by the name of Ms C. Pratt is alleged to have,
“thrust her face into [Mr Roberts] and screamed “Communicate!” very loudly and directly into his ear. Mr Roberts found this very painful and was profoundly shocked by her conduct.”
Is this the same Ms C Pratt of the National Bullying Helpline?
Yup
and so is this
“From the moment Mr Roberts took up his post as General Manager, the Applicant did not attempt to hide the hostility she felt towards the new appointee. She was obstructive and unco-operative and made no attempt to work with Mr Roberts, who was new to the organisation. In the evidence, there are many illustrations of the Applicant’s aggressive and confrontational approach to Mr Roberts …..”
Good thing Cameron hasn’t waded into this and kept his distance
Excuse me, but does this mean that there was no bullying of staff by Brown and his mates at number ten then? Thought not.
But yes, Cameron and all the Tories would be wise to stay clear and let Brown and Co stew in their own juices on this one. Please take note Carswell and Widdibum…
Carswell and Widdecombe got it right by being critical of Pratt and her story
the twats who thought this was solid gold were..
wrong
Talking of gold, didn’t Brown lose us 8 Billion pounds in one trade by selling the country’s gold off cheap and with prior warning to the markets?
“WHOOPSIE” “SILLY BILLY”
Hahahahahahahhahaha!!!
Sweet Jesus there really are people out there THAT twatty.
Priceless.
Like Brown fucking up the Economy by letting the Banks run riot.
That’s right, wrong again shit for brains.
I don’t support Labour and never have.
It is however a sure sign of your stupidity that you would have to resort to such feeble shit in your desperation.
She was found innocent.
Just like Gordon and Tony.
Stick in your craw don’t it?
cu.nts
I’d tear their fucking limbs off and shit down their necks for bullying
Bad Al must be worried the Lobby and others are going to describe all the thuggery and bullying he got up to…
And is probably still doing behind the scenes…
Or perhaps he is having another nervous breakdown…!
Fatal?
Why are Campbell and Mandelson defending Gordon and keeping him alive? They are his most fiercest enemies. Could it be that they want to see him and Old Labour utterly destroyed?
Campbell put Brown in the shit with Chilcott.The Blairites are planning a hit.
I hereby challenge the bully Brown to a five rounds no-holds barred bare-knuckled fight.
I can assure him that should just one puch connect he will be on his flatulent fat arse.
We will then see the bully for the coward he is when he runs off in tears….
That’ll be a change from watching him run on (to TV) in tears.
What a sensitive bunch of petals these civil service types are! Serves Nu Lab right for bringing in this human rights/anti bullying garbage – it’s a slackers charter. i don’t hear many people complaining about Alex Ferguson and his hairdryer treatment – sometimes indolent fuckers need to be told they’re indolent fuckers and given the appropriate kick up the arse!!
The difference is that in the past 13 years Alex Ferguson has been a repeatedly successful premiership manager.
Whereas Gordon Brown has bank*upted the country and given a pointless war in Iraq the big thumbs up. He’s stood by while Blair suspended Habeaus Corpus, abolished ‘double jeopardy, moved to abolish jury trials, initiated 42 day detention without charge, doubled income tax on the poorest and is only temporarily frustrated in imposing ID cards by a lack of (printed) money and an election.
Being ‘hair-dryered by Alex Ferguson may not be nice but at least it would be coming from somebody who knew what the fuck he was talking about. By contrast being hair-dryered by an imbecile like Brown who is just shrieking to cover up his own incompetence would reduce most people to tears of frustration having to take shit from an absolute jackass like Brown. Just because he’s the boss.
And it’s easy to say ‘just quit’ or ‘report him’ but as we see he doesn’t give a shit if you quit and if you do report him he will bring down the entire government on you as well as the BBC to fuck up your life.
The entire government is now just one big cover-up for Brown’s monumental economic, social and personal fuck-ups.
The point is not that Gordon Brown is a fucking imbecile- that’s a given, but that extreme motivational techniques, that could be construed as bullying by namby pamby liberals can be very effective in the rights hands. Fear is a great motivator!
An ex Mrs Beast had a two year relationship with an ex Man united/ City player
Ferguson chased him into the changing rooms for f***** up
The wuss hid in a lavatory cubicle as Sir Alex pounded on the door
Sir Alex is also a Labour supporter
Jock = violent+Socialist hypocrite
Ergo a Hoon
No doubt what your say is true in some cases, but not relevant. Labour and their multimillion pound paymasters in the Unions brought in most of these employment rights laws and are always keen to portray themselves as the ‘workers friend’.
Indeed, Labour types never lose a chance to cast Tories or private business people in the role of latter day slavers and mill owners, despite Labour bigwigs’ habit of cutting cosy deals with banksters at our expense. Labour are hypocrites, and New Labour in particular despise the ordinary people of this country. They see the ordinary Joes as mere voting fodder and cash cows.
From my own direct experience in dealing with Labour officials I know that they are, for the most part, liars, bullies and financially venal. So any day that makes the lives of Brown and his fellow Labour scum more miserable is a good day, as far as I am concerned.
Call me old fashioned, but any boss who hauls secretaries away from their desks, or throws Finnish telecom equipment at underlings is a cad and a bounder. The fact that Brown is also a serial incompetent just adds to the disgust.
Campbell is busy biting Gordon’s nails for him.
did someone call?
NO! So you can go back and hide under that sleazy BBC rock of yours!
LOL, like it. Very good made me chuckle.
Never mind Al… what the hell is Prescott? A bully if ever there was one and then claiming that ‘Gordon’s attitude gets things done internationally’ SO apparently it is okay to bully if you get results.. nice one Prezza!
This all stinks, Brown behaves like a child at PMQs, why should we think he doesn’t throw his toys regularly at anyone who crosses or displeases him? Jokers the lot of them – democracy? BS… we live in a dictatorship!
Just imagine finding out your former gin and tonic serving, pugnacious, morbidly obese, illiterate husband has been shagging his blond secretary on the side, who looks a hundred times better in the looks department than you, and instead of kicking the adulterous hoon all the way to the divorce courts, your desire to hold onto the limelight and fiscal rewards of power as his wife overrides any sense of decency and integrity, and you chose to “forgive” him, while making some money on the side by writing a book about it.
Priceless.
It does seem odd. Were he to come out and say Brown has never bullied everyone, it would be completely within character. A character of lies and deceit mind you.
I really cannot believe the absolute hoonishness of these people!!!
Fat jacqui attacking mrs.p!!!!!!
Jacqui Smith, the former Home Secretary, said she wrote to the National Bullying Helpline, expressing her “absolute amazement that you have so comprehensively breached the commitment made on your website to treat calls as confidential and to respect the dignity of those who use your service.”
She wrote: “The public statements of your chief executive about receiving calls from members of the Prime Minister’s Office drive a coach and horses through your confidentiality and impartiality policies.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
where’s our £116,000 jacqui?
hows the old mans wanking going?
still prefers gay films than your ugly carcass?
“I have previously advised constituents facing difficult bullying situations about your service. I will never do that again!”
Jacqui….what about the coach and horses you drove through public trust when you stole lots of taxpayers money?
And had Damien Green arrested on the thinnist of pretexts?
A fish rots from the head downwards. Gordo’s posse all show ‘bully’ characteristics, Byrne, Mandy’s, Balls,
Some hide behind ‘it’s the right thing to do’, Halfman
including for her fat electric & gas bill
Jacqui Smith – the ugliest bag of lard and fat that has ever waddled along the corridors of Westminster.
So ugly she makes a freshly laid dog turd look attractive to eat.
A monstrosity that damages the very word “woman”.
The most vile and disgusting excrement.
The first thing Brown must have said when he heard the fat clown prescot was on his side, OH FUCK!
BBC and Sky spinning like hell the wrongdoing of the whistleblower, er…bullying in fact….accusations of Tory links to the Charity….and who is this Cary Cooper?
But then when the No10 machine goes into action, no mercy shown, no prisoners taken, no truths told.
working for the few-not the many……….
“2005 Professor Cooper was appointed by the Cabinet Secretary as Chair of the Sunningdale Institute in the National School of Government in the Cabinet Office”
He’s another loyalist I’m afraid !.
He is a American film star, made a great film ,Gone With The Wind.

This whole issue has a whiff of the “Dr David Kelly” episode about it…..
Labour henchmen are even attempting to smear an anti-bullying charity.
What utterly vile bastards
Yes, 10 Downing Street will not be satisfied until they have hounded the poor lady Chairman of the anti-bullying charity into commiting suicide.
Brown and his fellow thugs would see that as the best possible outcome.
New Labour are scum, led by a one eyed thug.
It is a sickening state of affairs. Bullies running the country and trying to bully their way out of the truth being told… Abstain from voting? I will vote for anyone that isn’t Labour! I would have to be labotomised to vote for that load of lying, money grabbing, thieves, bullies and outright ripoff merchants!
I think people should take a second look at us
We’ve taken several looks. We don’t like what we see.
I said take a second look at us sonny and less of it or you will be smashed you inpertinent bastard English fucker!!
Fancy a walk in the woods?
I have had a look and I see a fucking bully surrounded by bullies.
If it looks like a bully, sounds like a bully and acts like a bully, then it’s probably a bully.
The game’s up McTwat, you are that bully.
Can I have my pension back?
Why doesn’t someone stop me, I’m a mental Huhne and need help, please my head is hurting and my lungs are bursting help me!!
Isn’t about time for our glorious leader to don a black eye patch, place a parrot on his shoulder, and lead his troops forward with the rallying cry, “Arrgh ha me hearties”!!!
It would certainly act as a useful distraction!
Reminds me of that Rose Addis business some years ago.She was a little old lady complaining about her NHS treatment.To shut her up,Labour alleged she was a racist.Vile smears are Labour’s form of debate.
It’s just Alastair being Alastair.
Mr Fawkes, you seem to have a fetish for Campbell.
Ignore him and he will disappear, hopefully somewhere really dark.
Where is Bad Al?
Who cares, as long as it’s a very long way away.
And where is Tony Blair as NuLabour falls apart in public….
Mandelson just on Sky….guess what?
Yep, It’s all a Tory plot!
Predictable spin and lies….as usual
So they have Mandy out all over the tv news full of denials,so it must be true.
Of course it is. Now everyone move along, nothing to see here. Let’s concentrate on the issues that really concern people, like global warming.
I expect Prescott is threatening to thump anyone who accuses him of bullying.
I seem to recall Prescott being something of a sexual predator preferring to shove his hands up ladies skirts in lieu of ‘Hello, I’m John Prescott – what’s your name’.
Good old P.E.
And Prezza’s speciality was uting his cock up interns working for him…
for a few seconds I was wondering whether it was illegal or immoral to ut.
Bully Prescott has just said on Daily Politics talking of Coulson, ‘….and David Cameron is going to take him into number 10.’
Finally dawning on you, is it Prezza?
And what about those who accuse him of being a filthy fat adulterer!
I would say any woman who has to endure Prescott or Brown or in fact any socialist, slobbering over them have had their human rights violated.
Perhaps Al realises that before long the truth is going to emerge and it would be unwise to deny the truth now. He has his reputation to think of.
possibly…
I can confirm that I have signed Mr Campbell off work from today. He shows all the signs of being exhausted. His work is ‘very demanding’
Mandy seemed to hint that something big and nasty for Gordo is about to surface. Deffo in pre-emptive mode there.
Boulton just sed “This is getting nasty now”. Luvvittt, Lubvvvittt……….
what you sow, so shall you reap….
Obviously all complaints against the People’s Commissariat made by anyone are null and void; that is because we are the People’s Commissariat and so are of the people. It would be entirely illogical that anyone else of the people could have a legitimate complaint against the people as represented by the People’s Commissariat and so those who complain about the People’s Commissariat are quite evidently enemies of the people and thus enemies of the State. As such these people will be dealt with accordingly by the people via the People’s Commissariat.
…and that is exactly to Modus Operandi of Brown and his thugs…..
How many people from labour are working on this ‘rebuttal’?
Hundreds
Comical Mandy now accusing Tories.
Blame it on Thatcher I say.
Bullying was worse under the tories
He is handcuffed to my radiator.
How fucking old are you?
Have some fresh meat FFS.
Are you Chief Thug Brown then ?
I claim my £ 5
Prezza now on with Fern on radio 2
All the Labour psychopaths and bullyboys are coming out this morning to attack the anti-bullying charity and to bully, smear, and intimidate it’s organiser, and the BBC are lapping it up.
What better illustration could there be of the extent to which this country has sunk into the gutter after 13 years of Labour government?
makes a change from being on Ms Temple
I heard on local radio news last night that Gordon Brown had dragged a female typist out of her chair by her hair. How can anyone deny that that is bullying?
Andrew Marr just laughs and Nick Robinson claims it’s a smear campaign against Brown. So that’s that then. The moral bankruptcy of the BBC is complete.
The BBC have been morally bankrupt for some time – the difference is just that now that you can state that somewhere where others can see they were not wrong in that judgement.
Very painful if you have pubic hair – very painful.
Gordo says vote Labour or he’ll give you a chinese burn
Brown should be charged with threatening behaviour, possibly assault.
Brown is a criminal thug. In any other organisation he would have been sacked, and probably arrested by the police, by now.
Instead the BBC are giving free reign to his henchmen to attack and smear innocent people.
What a sorry state this country has become under this sociopathic government.
Possible case for imkpeachment? Number 1priority of PM is national security, as Cancellor and PM has he not failed, equipment shortages, troop drawdown, FI on horizon?
15 minutes of attempted rehab and rebuttal on Pravda DP has just blown up when Peter Watt (previous General Secretary of the Labour party who quit over dodgy donations) stated that he thought that Rawnsley’s description of McDoom was accurate.
Straight after Robinson gave it the “it’s a smear and I don’t recognise any of it….” line.
Car-crash TV. Watch ‘em implode….
Just watching the Daily Politics…
Geoffrey Robinson has just directly accused Rawnsley of having a personal vendetta against Gordon, and with his personal grudge has been doing his best against the PM for years.
Will Rawnsley sue? He’s basically being made out to be a liar with an axe to grind.
Rawnlsey may have a grudge; it doesn’t really matter. Either what he says is true or it isn’t.
Aye. That journalist Andrew Gilligan has a grudge against this government too. Now why would that be?
Oh yeah. Another honest person being hounded by this evil government.
This government are fucking nuts. All it will take is a tearful Ms Pratt to get on TV claiming she’s been vilified for telling the truth and the rest of the electorate will be joining the dots all the way back to David Kelly.
But the Government couldn’t get away with this without the full and naked collusion of the Bovine Broadcasting Corporation. Without their aiding and abetting, this Government would have been history many months ago.
The blog attacks need to switch attention. The BBC is the enemy within. Cut off it’s funding and it’s curtains for Brown and his socilaist muppets.
No.. don’t think so.
He was actually pretty even handed in Servants of the People and gave the Blairites and Brownites a pretty straight bat.
(in that neither group came off particularly well. LOL)
Campbell and Brown…Campbell’s Fagin to Brown’s Bill Sikes. “No wiolence, please, Gordon – no wiolence! It ain’t good for business, Bill.”
You know, on reflection, all that I’ve read here and on other blogs and in the press – and heard on tv – indicates to me that the government and its spin merchants are conducting nothing short of abuse – abuse towards the charity and Christine Pratt, abuse to any dissenters and abuse to the nation – they are abusing us as an electorate , using our money and paid time. There’s no governing of the nation going on here. It is truly despicable. They are truly despicable. What we have here is some small-minded, tin pot dictatorship bouyed up by thoughts of its own infallibility. They sincerely deserve the wrath of the nation and I’m not sure that just an election will be satisfaction enough…..
The question framed by coke snorting Marxist Richard Bacon on R5L was ‘Should the hotline be closed due to enormous breach of trust’.
All the texts he claimed to have received were on message and it was a conclusive ‘yes’, with the collusion BBC this band of crooks and spivs think nothing of destroying a woman who’s only ‘crime’ is to brand unelected Lord Mandy the liar he is.
The Guardian.
“The claim of routine bullying was today backed up a senior former adviser to Brown in No 10, who told the Guardian: “His intense bouts of anger are unremarkable to anyone who has worked closely with him. You just have to put up with this stuff. It is part of the daily experience, almost part of the furniture. He would behave in that way constantly. He suffers from a massive paranoia and an inability to accept blame, yet he runs a blame culture that allows him to blame others. He does not seek to win an argument, he just seeks to bully. If you have not worked closely with him before, it is truly shocking”
“I throw the newspapers on the floor or something like that”
WTF is that supposed to mean ?
I throw the newspapers on the floor or something like that
I guess he’s into watersports. Newspapers are quite absorbant.
In truth, Gordon thinks that’s normal – ordinary. he thinks people get oooooooh so cross and throw things down. He’s seven years old, inside. That’s a very fucking damaged man.
“My father was always nice to people”.
This is like watching the closing minutes of Psycho.
Gordon Brown is so mentally unwell is is staggering.
Has no one seen the irony of Peter Mandelson defending Gordon Brown when Channel 4’s documentary on Mo Mowlam instigated that he himself bullied a dying old woman.
It appears that the resigning Patron of the National Bullying Helpline is beloved of the New Labour Establishment and at the heart of it’s academic culture…from Lancaster University…..

Anyone else got anything…..
Overpaid, over rated, over qualified public servant ?
He is also a Huhne.
Common Purpose.
Bullying is endemic, politics is a dirty business.
Even Tory Shire Councils have been in Court of harrassment. Cost EHDC near on £250,000 to solve. Did it result in any resignations? Did it hell.
The District Councillor remains on the Council, remains hopeless, but maintains a handsome income and still thinks he’s welcome, popular and supported.
If there were an effective opposition he would rightly lose his seat as would others.
It is embarrassing to be a Conservative at times.
We are talking about the prime minister and his pathological regime, not some district council. Of course bullying is unacceptable anywhere but stick to the main issue and get some perspective.
erm , bullying, no? harrasment at least, yes….??
EHDC is a pathological regime.
Why not learn something new rather than just home in the non entity who is our PM. He is finished.
Now why do you sound just like another Liebore blogdrone? Perhaps because you forgot to mention the number of Labour-controlled Councils that have tried to silence, intimidate, sue and then pay off employees who have blown the whistle on their mendacious behaviour?
At least Brillo is concentrating on beating up the retard inbred wife cheating Prescott.
That’s visiting professor of Climate Change Xiamen University to you fuckwits.
Vote Labour.
Get fucked.
And his local electorate continue to vote him in as he stands outside his mansion that we have paid for,while vomiting up his food and screwing his colleagues.
Prescott is a petty local mayor in Hitlers Germany – a nothing who did nothing for nobody.
Toenails reading out the Liebour line right now.
Now the poisoned poof is hitting back. Stick to fucking Brazilians.
But rest assured everything Downing Street tries to do to divert attention to the helpline rather than the bullying has been noticed by the Great British Public. Like f*ck it has! They probably already think Brown has phoned the helpline because he’s being bullied.
13 years of the peoples paradise of the uk.
8million unemployed.the cupboard bare.£trillions wasted.
millions of jobs offshored.111 tax rises.
50% of us want to leave………
and a former tech college lecturer thinks he is the new messiah.
a ‘man’ that writes books on courage and strength and believes in equality and womens rights drags a woman from her chair by her hair!
quick-phone Obama and see if he will come over!
ITYM
A ‘man’ that ‘writes’ …
I refuse to believe that someone who has had more than enough work to do in his day job for the past 2.5 years (to say nothing of the preceding 10) can also find the time to write books. Hell, he can’t even write a letter of condolence properly.
But he can phone the mother at 10:15pm and argue with her and bully her.
Hang this evil man and hang him high.
This is a determined campaign today by Brown’s cronies to rebut these allegations of bullying by smearing and intimidating his accusers. As usual they are aided and abetted by Toenails and the rest of the BBC politicos like Landale and Marr.
It seems like it’s make or break time.
And John Rentoul from the Bin-dy just on saying de facto that thumping people is OK, since for a politician it is self -defence. So I wonder how many Downing Street staff have been hit by MacFucknuts in self-defence!!
…a Self defence spin PRICELESS stuff.
Greatest volume yet of astroturf comments in forums, press, radio, BBC blogs – many again follwing the familiar pattern of “I’m not a labour voter but…” and bigging up two themes: breach of confidence, and tory links.
The astroturfing has been shown to be pretty effective in the past, but there *must* be a budget for this – someone is paying for all these people to sit there and spam all day. Even if they’re labour interns, they need managing, they need hardware, support. Where is the money coming from? Labour is skint, Labour’s accounts are closely monitored. I smell Unions – I smell Charlie Whelan.
Someone knows.
This is a machine purpose-built to lie – to lie. Nothing else.
Someone knows….
It’s just like the massive media campaign and mass astroturfing that followed Lettergate a few months ago.
Will character assasination and smearing of Labour’s detractors work this time?
Yup – exactly like that except for one little difference….
Faster.
That took a couple of days to get rolling. This was already in evidence on the BBC blogs at 9 last night. *Sunday night*. What does this tell us? C’mon?
Okay – we either have a 24/7 bunker ready to roll, or we have a “tree” of stooges out there in vermin-land ready to go to work on this, we have *communications* to feed them general instructions, *content* specifics, and also to get feedback on who is tackling which bodies. But more. A lot of papers etc check IP addresses to avoid spamming – if I was setting up this network I would have my people going through a proxy, that assigned random IPs from within a big batch every time. So…? So whoever is doing this *has* spent money. You cannot simply pull an IP from thin air. There’s an accounting trail to this, there’s a technical trail to this, there is a *people* trail to this.
You had any sniffs Guido? This is all new in British politics – these people are not that fucking bright. To pull this together they either have somone running it from a *commercial* sphere – someone who has working in marketing, looking at viral shit,a stroturfing there, or someone from across the Pond who has done it for the Dems. There is an identifiable person out there who has been imported for the specific purpose of getting dozens of labour or union interns to lie coherantly.
*That* is a story…
there were plenty of posts on twitter with the same wording about breaches of confidentiality: disgraceful….
can’t these Huhnes think for themselves, and write their own 160 characters?
I’m sitting on the shitter, twatting on Twitter.
Lets hope the shoved secretary is offered £500k for her story.
On Radio London Alastair Campbell is being interviewed by the ever so tame Robert Elms about his new novel but also given the opportunity to set the record straight re Gordon Brown. Why anybody listens to a word this man says is beyond me; don’t forget that he admitted to self-censoring his diaries so as not to embarrass Gordon Brown by showing him in a bad light. Of course it is reported that the diaries were also censored so as not to upset the Bush administration, Cherie Blair and her children or to avoid indicating that Big Bad Al Campbell spent much of his time bad-mouthing reporters.
After all that was left out, was there anything left to wipe my arse on?
Or shall I continue to use £50 notes, because that’s what they will soon be worth if Labour get fix another election.
Mandelson is doing a crap job defending Brown.
I want Gordoom’s job.
Thought shagger Prescott had moved on.
On the other hand there’s always Damian Thompson in todays Telegraph.Says it all really.
Campbell is not currently available to join the bullying of Mrs Pratt, as he is sat mastubating in his own feces as he pines for his master Tony.
Cambell’s the most vile sack of shite with a bit of string tied round the middle I can think of.
Lying Huhne.
“Lets not forget John’s own past, or “a bully from a more brutal age”” Slugger is my name and bullying is my game, do that again I will smash your face in, get it,
Bad Al is in No10 co-ordinating the whole spin machine!
Ahem.
there will nothing forhcoming from Comical Ali…lying bullying bastard knows when to keep his big gob shut
