"The theme for Anti-Bullying Week 2020 is: United Against Bullying. Anti-Bullying Week will happen from Monday 16th - Friday 20th November and will start with Odd Socks Day to mark the first day of Anti-Bullying Week. "

"Last year 75% of schools in the country took part, reaching well over 7 million young people. "
"Bullying has a long lasting effect on those who experience and witness it. But by channelling our collective power, through shared efforts and shared ambitions, we can reduce bullying together. "
"From parents and carers, to teachers and politicians, to children and young people, we all have a part to play in coming together to make a difference.
We all have a part to play

I agree

Sadly the question is what part

Are you the person

Giving the orders

Or

Following the orders

Are you the person who suppressed the report for months

*months*

The father of one victim:

" We want to know how long the Conservative party had concerns and why nothing was done to keep young people safe. If this is happening to young activists we don’t want anyone else to suffer in this way.”

"British Transport police say party has rebuffed repeated requests to see findings of inquiry launched following suicide of young activist Elliott Johnson"

*ignored*

Not once but *repeated*

Just a reminder

It is Anti Bullying Week

And a reminder

"Boris Johnson vows to give schools ‘powers they need to deal with bad behaviour’"

I wonder if a head teacher sat on a bullying report into your child for months - would you be ok with that?

schoolsweek.co.uk/boris-johnson-…
Now going back to David Gauke's tweet

This sounds eerily familiar

Why if you can cast your eyes back - if your eye sight is good enough that is

To when a man went on a day trip on Easter Sunday, on his wife's birthday

To test his eye sight

A reminder

"Small actions make a big difference in fight against bullying"

*with us*
I would say

To quote the Home Secretary

Be the do-gooder you want to see in the world.

huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/priti-pa…
Last night I was quite angry at all those who have come out with a theme on

Bullying is ok because ...

Thank you

Because you accept someone is a bully

The only question is how you justify the bullying

As Thatcher would put it

You cannot play the ball of the bullying

You just want to try and play the person card in their defence
A reminder Thatcher

1970 General Election Address

"We want a nation with high standards of integrity, tolerance and personal responsibility."
A reminder Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher (on Macmillan)
1963 Jun 22 Finchley Conservative Fair

"The Prime Minister is a man of the highest integrity and honour and should not, therefore, suffer for someone whose standards were not as high as his own.”
"as high as his own"

Is fascinating

As I would like any Tory MP to describe how "high" Boris Johnson's standards are

Like Jacob Rees Mogg here who cannot answer a simple question on whether a PM has a moral compass

But hey not to worry

Not only is our PM "freedom loving"

But he's the biggest, the best freedom lover

So much freedom loving

Even when he cowers in a fridge
Anyway sorry back to Priti

And I find it commendable of Conservative MP's

They have learnt their lesson since their defence of Dominic's eye sight test

They have all learned to come up with more personalised words to justify it rather than copy and paste a template text
So now

As I did with Dominic Cumming's social media campaign to justify his eye sight test

I am going to as of 9am on 20th November 2020

Go through some of the justifications employed by Tory MPs as to why bullying is ok
Hard working
Determined
Kind to many
Knows her own mind
A great asset
Doing a tough job

So a reminder of those roughly 50 reasons for why bullying is ok
A reminder

Change starts with us
Now I could go into questioning individual details on those defences

Like a party who defunded the police

Like a party who vote to break the law (in a very specific and limited way)

I could go into the first duty of government

I could go into the history of Priti Patel

Her working holiday to Israel (see principled)

Her lies and racism as part of brexit

Her views on the death penalty

But at the last

A reminder on other victims of the Home Office

A reminder of a Home Secretary who demonises do gooders

"Remember, change starts here, change starts now, change starts with us.”

I did some threads recently in praise of Liz Truss and Douglas Ross

Today I am going to do something new

I am going to do a thread in praise of Boris Johnson

First of all

I wish to congratulate Boris Johnson

The take up and promotion of the messaging around the "green industrial revolution" has been more successful than "boutique PR" or the craven cult cowering before Cummings

Today

To distract from

His comments on devolution

Coronvairus

Brexit

And nepotism

And Priti Patel bullying

And so many others

I would like to say.

I am so so sorry for Kate Bingham.

Michael Gove cannot play the ball.

So instead plays utter hollow bullshit instead.

Since Michael doesn't know where to start.

I will.

Now first of all.

There is the fact that other than Boris.

The heaviest hitter in the cabinet is sent out to bat for Kate.

That should be reassuring to Kate.

I would say the opposite.

It is a sign of the desperation.
Now I could go into a bit on Michael

But I honestly can't be bothered

I have covered him in depth previously

This is a man who cannot recall his role in the Vote Leave campaign

Weird that

I should warn you - this is a long thread on Michael
