It was quite an eyeopener to see the newspapers this morning - particularly in the context of my own recent blog entry which touched upon bullying a month or so ago (read it here). And lo and behold, the whole topic makes the front pages of the press today. Wow!
There is plenty of spin for us all to unpack and analyse in the context of the next General Election, and only time will tell how much of what has been revealed is spin and how much truth. However, in all this, where is the consideration for those who have suffered at the hands of bullies? As one who still remembers bullying from schooldays, I'm quite sensitive to it. This situation has rather sadly revealed that patient confidentiality for those who have suffered at the hands of others may be secondary to political aspirations. Which is wrong.
