Good old Yaxley-Lennon, not one to let an opportunity to show how crass he is pass by. The good news is he has been imprisoned and off the streets for a while. I suspect he will not be placed alongside the Muslim terrorist type but rather fond many shaven headed like minded 'Essex Boys' type who will regard him as a hero of sorts.
It's all very sad.
What was funny however was him demanding asylum in the USA as going to jail could see him killed inside! There must be many US rednecks who would sympathise. For some reason Trump did not respond to his plea, he must have been on Twitter or the golf course.
What does he get out of this? Fame? Self importance? Money? We all need a purpose but shit stirring as a purpose? I wonder if he really has a 'intellectual' belief in anything, I cannot see him working things out from a particular opinion. It appears that he just requires to be seen as a leader of something, anything, and this is all he is good for. What a waste.
Gemma White QC has produced a cheery report, avoiding adding names, informing the world of the bullying, abuse and mistreatment of the staff by MPs and noble Lords. How nice to see our leaders behaving in such a manner.
Clearly many treat staff reasonably well but others hide behind position, power and fear of job losses and avoid criticism. I would guess that unless you are 100% committed you cannot work in such an atmosphere. MPs jobs, in spite of their weak heads, demand total commitment and as a researcher you will need that attitude. It is no surprise to find some of them demanding, parliament is no place for the weak-kneed, but it is clear many take advantage of their help, others like some noble Lords consider themselves better than others and abuse staff because of this attitude. It is a pity no names or political parties were mentioned here... The Speaker has denounced this behaviour, he has of course been criticised for bullying his staff, and indicated some of the points mentioned in this report ought to be handed to the police. I hope they are, that would be fun!
