Priti Stick.

I think that she had a very difficult task to manage ie. the immigration bill and I expect she recieved some pushback on this which has led to heated discussions. The Home Office has hardly been held up as particularly competent for many years. 'Not fit for purpose' rings a bell.

We civil servants hold ourselves to a very high standard (at least we do in the part I work in).
I think too many people confuse civil servants with politicians. They are completely different from the codes in place to the pay rises (we don't get them as you may have seen from the news)

Sir Humphrey Appleby, is that you?

Yes indeed, it gets idle wastrels to buckle down and do some proper work for a change ;) For too long have the civil service been a cushy closed shop, she's doing a grand job. Bullying indeed, have you seen the size of her?

Size doesn't really come into it when the person who is doing the bullying has the potential to make your life hell in the job, or get you sacked.

As for "cushy" or "proper work" I'm guessing you have an image of the civil servants just sat in their chairs doing nothing, as opposed to trying to make the often idiotic schemes of the politicians fit into some sort of reality, whilst getting all the blame for things like not being able to do something that needs 9 months in a week whilst keeping it within the law.

It's usually when the politicians decide to bypass the civil service that things tend to go really badly wrong, with things like the safeguards put in place (usually based on things that have been learned over years or decades) ignored by the politicians who then act surprised when their cunning plan looks more like something Baldric has dreamt up whilst high on acid than something that is practic

Does anyone get sacked from the civil service? I understood that you got moved.

Its usually bloody hard in the public sector without a lot of work on your bosses part and a complete lack of any effort on your part. My partner works in the NHS and outside of the most desirable departments/hospitals its a bit of a mess. The staff are quite often crap and filled with a massive sense of their own self worth and value. Getting rid of the crap people is really hard and people just generally take the **** quite openly because there are few consequences and the culture has become such that no one is scared to behave unprofessionally or poorly.
 
complete indignation and disdain in her broadcast apology,
- first she wasn't aware of how she made others feel, as commented, and, isn't aware of how she sounds.

Given Johnson’s reputation, it wouldn’t surprise me.

I’m still at a complete loss how any woman could let him touch them full stop, never mind with his ****.

You will one day perhaps come to understand the complexity of how power and money can be a heady aphrodisiac in the hands of even the plainest or even repulsive looking person. Although Jeremy Corbyn probably tries this equation somewhat... ;)

From the descriptions I've heard by civil servants of their different workplaces, and all the backstabbings, incompetences, unjustified pay rises, lack of any knowledge about their roles or departments, old boys clubs and so on, I'd argue that many civil servants confuse themselves with politicians...!
