Bullying by an authority or organisation against an individual
How far would you go in terms of obedience to an authority figure?
There are pernicious types of bullying that are harder to spot, particularly when they are marked by officialdom.
How would you know if a government department, a council, a private company or an individual working for an organisation that you have to interact with is bullying you?
The answer to this is the same as any other form of bullying: They are doing it for their own selfish reasons and are not acting considerately or fairly by sticking within reasonable bounds.
The above idea would not make it easier to spot bullying coming from official quarters, as even when this type of behaviour is exposed, we still don’t expect it. How do they get away with it? Surely there are people, like school inspectors keeping tabs on education establishments, to monitor the actions of people within these organisations who have a duty of care towards the public?

The Roles of Extremism and Politically Motivated Activism in Manipulation and Propaganda
The broad, routine use of “TERF” as a slur against ordinary women (not just known radical feminists) — mothers, school parents, female athletes, teachers, and safeguarding campaigners — for simply discussing safeguarding in schools or questioning risks/threats in women’s contact sports (including boxing) did begin to surge around 2018–2019 and became dominant by 2020.Pre-2018 ContextBefore […]
Wayback Machine Digital Access made so difficult
During COVID i spent some time on Wayback Machine to access links in an article by Shibo from 2005 about SARS vaccine research. The article was open, honest and transparent and shared links to NIAID, WHO, CDC and MMWR, which openly reported virus outbreaks, other events and biosafety events. In 2020, when I first found […]
Why Divide and Conquer is All About Politics
I keep writing boring poems about politics. I am processing, trying to get my head around a beast of an idea. I remember being at sixth form college in 1987 and there was a debating society, which tackled the thorny issue of fox hunting, a popular activity in Surrey at that time. Today, it would […]
How and why clear inclusive communication is possible and easy to do
The following story illustrates how a visual or creative person might understand a new rule compared to someone who has adapted to learn by rote. Today we are told what to do, but we are not told why. Reasoning has now gone and if you do it you will not be catered for. On any […]
Government Overreach taking us back to medieval times
Could you help advise me about the new waste collections? I am a visual thinker and learn and have already had to change the routine I’ve had for 11 years. I bought a private wheelie bin from Penryn Plastics, which my neighbours have shared as I fill about one 50L bag a week and everything […]
