The Gavin Williamson hatred thread

[Kid_Eternity]

I don't tend to get too wound up by particular politicians but there's something about this guy that really annoys...

 

[Dystopiary]

Mantlepiece man back with a vengeance...

Tortoise Media article paywall busted (Scroll down for the bit on Williamson):

One MP said the submission included screen grabs of messages sent by Williamson, himself a former chief whip. He said there was “quite a bit of evidence”, and that a number of MPs were willing to back Morton up. Another suggested there was a misogynistic undertone to the content, with messages sent over the course of several weeks.

Williamson played a key role in Sunak’s leadership campaign during the summer, when fellow Conservative MPs alleged he was “lending votes” to tactically improve Sunak’s chances. He was made minister without portfolio in Sunak’s first Cabinet.

He has a copy of the key to the cupboard where they keep the skelingtons

 

[teqniq]

What a CV.

Mostly incompetent at actually doing jobs he was appointed for.

Knows where all the bodies are buried and not afraid to use this as leverage for his own advancement.

Sends unpleasant allegedly misogynistic messages to a colleague.

What a truly vile individual.

E2a graun article which paints an unedifying picture of the man and further calls Sunak's judgement into question:

I never realised he'd been knighted by Johnson, jesus!

 

[teqniq]

Complete arsehole.

 

[Karl Masks]

Sunak appointed him because, as with Johnson, he knows where the bodies are buried. How else do you explain the career of someone as fucking incompetent as he.

Like with braverman, Sunak is completely compromised

 

[Calamity1971]

I never realised he'd been knighted by Johnson, jesus!

Me neither .

 

[eatmorecheese]

I never realised he'd been knighted by Johnson, jesus!

I suppose it demonstrates the complete ridiculousness of the honours system that such a poisonous weasel dick-splat has to be called 'sir'.

 

[wow]

Arise Sir Gavin Partridge

 

[MrCurry]

WhatsApp messages.

Had to laugh at “How are you?” “I’m fine thanks”

 

[Calamity1971]

Gonads! More infighting please.

Gonads! More infighting please.

Since you asked...!

Senior civil servant claims Gavin Williamson told them to ‘slit your throat’

Exclusive: MoD official says minister subjected them to campaign of bullying when he was defence secretary

www.theguardian.com

A senior civil servant claims Gavin Williamson told them to “slit your throat” in what they felt was a sustained campaign of bullying while he was defence secretary.

The Ministry of Defence official told the Guardian Williamson made the extraordinary remarks in front of other civil servants in a meeting, and on a separate occasion told them to “jump out of the window”.


The Whitehall aide, who worked closely with the cabinet minister, claimed Williamson “deliberately demeaned and intimidated” them on a regular basis.

They reported the behaviour unofficially to the MoD’s head of human resources and took contemporaneous notes of the alleged incidents, but decided against making a formal complaint against the cabinet minister at that time.

Williamson, who was defence secretary from November 2017 until May 2019 when he was sacked after a leak from the national security council, was said to have “shouted and raged”.

The senior civil servant, who later left government, said the abuse was so bad that a senior military aide working in the department had later apologised for not calling it out.

Williamson denied that he bullied the civil servant and said he had good working relationships with his officials. However, the Guardian understands that he is not denying that he used those specific words.

he's really quite an unpleasant individual isn't he.

 

[Karl Masks]

What a lovely chap. I hope he falls into a pit of snakes made of wasps

Sunak really knows how to pick them, or have them picked for him

 

[Gromit]

he's really quite an unpleasant individual isn't he.

As a former civil servant I just think typical MP. They forget that we get to vote too.

It's the ones who are nice to civil servants who are atypical.

 

[Tanya1982]

Has anyone else ever told a colleague to go and 'slit their throat'? Is the Tory party the only employer in Britain that wouldn't have someone out the same day for that? Complete thugs.

[Jeremiah18.17]

Radio 5 live this morning running a theme where shit bosses ring in to say they approve of Williamson’s threats and bullying because that is how they work and “get things done”. All egged on by BBC host of course, & I guess GB, Talk & the other fash enablers are similar or worse.
Britain today.
Scum justifying scummy behaviour in the name of “functioning capitalism”.
We need to just END IT.
Yes, this is personal!
