Conservative-linked "National Bullying Helpline" flounders in Channel 4 interview

The following video with Christine Pratt of the so-called “National Bullying Helpline” is required viewing for anyone with an interest in the allegations and counter-allegations around treatment of staff in 10 Downing Street.

In the words of Paul Waugh:

Watch as she states that she has received complaints from the “Deputy Prime Minister’s office” within the last 18 months. Wince as Gary gently points out that the ODPM hasn’t existed since 2006.

Or, as Channel 4 News’ Gary Gibbon asks Mrs Pratt:

Do you think you went on the air giving interviews yesterday without collecting all your facts about exactly what level of contact there had been? These allegations [...] don’t seem to add up.

To top things off, all of the charity’s patrons have now resigned.

Pratt by name…

    More evidence of the anti-bullying crusader Ms Pratt in action:

    Ms C Pratt allegedly -

    “thrust her face into his and screamed “Communicate!” very loudly and directly into his ear. Mr Roberts found this very painful and was profoundly shocked by her conduct.”

    Christine Pratt says she doesn't have permission to inform the PM's office of bullying- so she tells the media instead: http://bit.ly/cauIKf

    This is brilliant! Christine Pratt denies bringing the whole issue up! http://bit.ly/cauIKf "Youre' changing the numbers" Pratt: "No, yes".
