Its on the news, we must have heard about it!?

Its strange because the National Bullying Helpline have said that they have received calls from members of Gordon Brown’s office & 10 Downing Street over claims that he has been bullying his staff. He strongly denies this. I would like to ask if this is a complete breach of confidentiality on their part, as they explain 2 people from his office have reported him on the grounds of bullying, I know I wouldnt be happy if I reported bullying in my workplace and they announced that 1 person out of an office of 3 people had reported bullying as it wouldnt be that difficult to pin point who has made the claim, thus possibly creating more discomfort in the workplace.

Stories from his fellow labour members say that he is a decisive, strong character who will keep going until he gets what he wants. This doesnt go to say that he is a bully nor does it escape the claims that he could be. He has said how it is not in his nature and that he has never hit a single person in his life, again this doesnt escape the claims as I dont beleive bullying always comes in a the form of violence. Other members of the party have said that they havent been bullied by him, when asked if they thought he was a bully or not. So far I think most would not be convinced.

Where would we be without a stong priminister, we dont want a bully, but sensitive people may take things the wrong way or feel like they are being bullied if they dont fully understand a person’s character or nature, is this simply a case of this or is there more to it???
