Betty Boothroyd...

[Spicerack]

As it's quiet.
She's in trouble with some crowd because she missed her sexual harassment and bullying course.
Tried to use her heart surgery as an excuse but that didn't cut much ice with the watchdogs.
If they let her miss it, who knows what she might get up to?

sigh

[margarettom]

Great old school politician who I have always admired. Double sigh.

[Spicerack]

Think I'll join you. sigh

[naomi24]

Pathetic. Sigh number four.

[Lie-in King]

Sigh indeed.

[calmck]

At 91 I would think she has all the knowledge she needs!

[calmck]

Given her Tiller Girl career I imagine she could teach from her experiences

[bednobs]

my work mandates that everyone attends the ethics training (online)
if i didnt i'd have a "formal probe" as the paper so delightfully puts it. It wouldn't get into the paper though

[dannyk13]

Ridiculous.

[ToraToraTora]

Perlease!

[douglas9401]

Lucy Scott-Moncrieff, known to her friends as 'Loose' identifies as a joyless, po-faced drone who's clearly destined for great things on the public cashpot.

She and her ilk are more to be pitied than scorned.

[bednobs]

i dont think so - if you want to continue to work and receive money from the public purse, you must do the things that your employer mandates (IMO). It's just the language the newspapers use makes it sound a whole load worse that it probably is

[douglas9401]

'probably'. Chortle.

[naomi24]

The problem is, Douglas, joyless, po-faced drones are now wielding a lot of influence .... too much influence.

Perhaps she ought to have invited them into the operating room.

[grumpy01]

She could have taught the awful Bercow a few things.

[Ellipsis]

Ooh, Betty ...

[Spicerack]

Lol, got to laugh, Naomi, following your link back.
The people who had palpitations and burst into tears when they heard the phrase 'Chinese Virus'.
6 months later, the same people, 'I say, chaps. I'm not worried about the Brazilian strain. Its the South African variant we have to dodge, what, what'
Not their fault. a) The Komintern didn't deem it necessary to send out a new communique.
b) They're thick.

Oyyy ... Half wits, get your hands off the Tiller. These gits really do believe that they are entitled to force their warped charmless sensibilities on a 91 year old. A Lady with more virtue than the rest of them put together. She should be teaching them, not the other way around. When she is feeling better I do hope that she can practice the high kick ... right in the fork of Loose Elastic Moncrieff.
