I think it’s Alex who isn’t all bad. Some others seem ALL BAD…

Mike takin the piss now, pretending to be bored asleep will Knowles talks about the pillow.

Outrageous. Takes me back to my days as a red-faced 19 year-old in the police force back in the early 80s when I used to get bullied in a similar style. Destroyed my confidence for years and still lives with me today. Interesting to see that Mason’s skin is so thin, though.

Masons so reminds me of Ming the Mercyless so Knowles must be Flash Gordon.

My first boss was vile and totally knocked my confidence. It was all don't use this word say this instead. I certainly wasn't using slang or anything, it was things like say lavatory instead of toilet. She was very overweight, clearly hated herself so took it out on me, the only person she supervised. All in front of colleagues who were nice but didn't challenge it.

She claimed to be very religious and told me she would go to Heaven because she went to church and I would go to Hell because I didn't. Nowadays I would laugh and say if Heaven was full of people like you I don't want to go. But I was 17 and terrified to answer back.

In my career I have come into contact with many interns and other young people and I have gone out of my way to make them feel welcome and supported them.

I only stayed in that job 2 years and left for another reason, not connected with her. I've never worked since with anybody as nasty as her, but there were a couple of bullies in The Met, both Detective Inspectors, when I was a civvy. Both of them suffered because of it however it took a long time. One had complaints everywhere he went but they just kept transferring him.

I reckon he was bullied as a child. Just my personal view.

Indeed - possibly a fat child who wasn't very good at games, hence the overcompensating now.

I remember during my time in-house as a young police officer being insulted and then almost immediately afterwards “We love you really.” Or “What a toss…” And straight after..”We are only doing it for your own benefit, mate…Yer cu…..” The behaviour tonight resonated strongly with me…Nice, than nasty almost in the same sentence. You clutched at the ‘nice’ moments, and used it almost as an excuse to accept the negative and cruel verbal abuse..
