Non-Believer Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 2 minutes ago, AlanShimmin said: What this all boils down to is the total unsuitability of Tim Baker to hold office. Weak, ineffectual and arrogant. It may be true but the malaise goes deeper than that, Baker's just symptomatic of it. The democratic will is being ignored, pan-government, in favour of self-service and self-preservation with no small portion of ego also thrown into the mix. Every recent external report, commissioned by Govt itself and received, points to this. 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the arrogance and shitty demeanour towards anyone who dares question his precious DOI?

Organisational culture starts at the top. There is no more palpable dismissive, arrogant, egotistical (and misogynistic) approach than that of Quayle. Other Ministers simply follow suit. And of course, like Quayle, they are actually empty vessels, devoid of all but their bluster. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we need to deselect anyone who has tried to copy his style. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how do we deselect? Unfortunately, 'tis the GMP who will elect or re-elect the next bunch. If only we had a free, intelligent and inquisitive press here. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only we had a free, intelligent and inquisitive press here. Even the GMP can't deselect, they can only select what seem to be the least bad options. The local authority results suggest there is desire for change, but in a lot of cases it was partly thwarted by a lack of suitable candidates. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
