Ministerial Codes

[barney15c]

Isn't it odd, that a minesterial code is supposed to provide clarity to standards in public life, yet in England ( the priti Patel bullying incident) and in Scotland (salmond and sturgeon) no one can decide if its been broken or not... Very odd.

They're politicians. Of course they aren't going to admit they did anything wrong.

Quantitative facts are quantitative facts but still open to manipulation/interpretation.

Qualitative facts - it's expected that they will be manipulated/re-interpreted. It's par for the course, be the audience political, press or even AB commentators.

i was prepared to let Prittis kicking white arriss go - Mandarins need a good kicking
Salmond - as on other threads I found gob smacking

partly I suppose because I have been involved in weak imitations of the actions ten years ago - council leaders interfering in complaints ( nothing happened ) or senior staff investigating complaints whilst grossly conflicted ( heaved out)

"Nothing happened" - would you believe he did it again? Yes of course I would, nothing happened the first time round !

From Lord Hopes performance on R4 this morning - thought for the day from Lord No-hope - it looks as tho a whole raft of people got an attack of the vapours and didnt do anything because they were all so fraughtie-pooze.
and really SHOULD have known better !

One of the Civil Service unions is seeking a judicial review regarding Priti Patel and in Scotland, the actions of the First Minister are being investigated still.
