Bercow found guilty of bullying but Patel innocent – because Johnson is corrupt
‘Or-DURE!’ John Bercow looks as though even he can’t believe the latest corruption coming from the UK’s Parliament, headed by Boris Johnson.
Priti Patel is utterly vile.
She bullied civil servants in three government departments, according to a report by the Parliamentary Standards watchdog, and the relevant MPs’ committee.
But she was let off the hook by Boris Johnson who, as prime minister, had the ultimate say over whether she should be penalised for the transgression or exonerated of it altogether.
I mention this because, now, former Commons Speaker John Bercow has also been found to have bullied staff in the Speaker’s office – according to a report by the Parliamentary Standards watchdog, and the relevant MPs’ committee.
But if he were still a member of Parliament it is unlikely that he would have escaped punishment because, unlike Priti Patel, he took a principled stand against a government he claimed was “disrespecting parliament, telling untruths to parliament and bypassing parliament” – and a prime minister he publicly denounced as someone who “stinks in the nostrils of decent people”.
Don’t get me wrong. It is entirely possible that John Bercow is as utterly vile as Priti Patel. There are reports from Parliament saying so!
But Patel’s record is clean and Bercow’s is dirty because Boris Johnson is utterly corrupt. That is what riles me. It’s what should upset you, too.

Not remotely surprised John Bercow has been found guilty of institutional bullying whereas that puppet Priti Patel continues to bully and intimidate subordinate Home Office staff with impunity! Having a powerful fascist little dictator Duck Johnson as your master ensures Patel continues her reign of terror!
Bercow was punished by fascist dictator duck johnson because he dared to publicly declare fascist dictator johnson is corrupt!
This is how corrupt politics operates – have a powerful master and then the subordinate can intimidate and bully staff with impunity!
Bercow and Patel are bullies and yes Bercow deserved to be publicly shamed and punished but so too should Patel but she won’t given her master that fascist criminal duck johnson continues to protect her because she is doing his dirty work for him!
