Dominic Raab hits out at 'activist civil servants' after resignation

[LeftishBrit]

Former Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab has accused "activist civil servants" of trying to block the work of government, after his dramatic resignation over bullying claims.

An inquiry found he was "intimidating" and "aggressive" towards officials.

Mr Raab told the BBC he was sorry if he upset anyone but "that's not bullying".

He said there was a risk "a very small minority" of officials "with a passive aggressive culture" were trying to block reforms they did not like.

1. In the real world....

If you or I behaved like that we'd be in all sorts of disciplinary trouble at work And my experience is that having a bullying boss makes for a dysfunctional workplace

Raab has always come across as being rather obnoxious, even in really soft media interviews. His record as a minister is very poor frankly and it says something that aan as patently unfit to hold office as Raab has risen so far up the greasy pole.

Mail: "WAS THIS THE DAY BRITAIN BECAME UNGOVERNABLE?"
Express: "FORCED OUT FOR WANTING BEST FOR BRITAIN"

I think they admire him more for the bullying.
