So Claudia Webbe did not threaten to throw acid.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-68670348

quote:


Claudia Webbe: CPS apologises over acid threat inaccuracy in press release

An MP has received an apology after the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) failed to properly update a press release stating she had "made a threat to throw acid".

Claudia Webbe, an independent MP for Leicester East, was convicted of harassing a woman in 2021 and later lost an appeal against the ruling.

The court of appeal however found she had not made a threat to throw acid, as her trial originally heard.

But the CPS did not issue this update.

etc

My experience with wankers in business is it’s like a “you can sleep your way to the middle but not the top”.

I enjoyed when someone did a quick bit of working to show that not eating a £10 avocado and toast every day for a year would mean that after a year house prices had increased by more than the amount you’ve saved.

In the hands of a good government this would be a chance to take over ownership without much resistance and show a state control utility works better.

Under Starmers Labour what will probably happen it's we take it on, fix it up and then sell it back at a massive loss.

To be honest, he has likely lost anyone who would be aghast at (checks notes) giving money that we would have gotten from the EU development fund to places where Tories want votes because it’s something a charlatan like Keith would find appealing.

I don’t think it’s necessarily the case that people who remain bullies into adulthood prosper. In my experience they tend to make it to lower/middle management and not a lot higher. The majority of adults are not bullies, and on an interpersonal level are decent people, and as you get higher people tend not to want to work with bullies and have the power to stop that from happening. What I suspect is happening is that kids who show aggressive behaviour are often bullies, and aggressive behaviour with the edges rounded off can be very useful in later life - translating into an unwillingness to be trodden on, ability to make your voice heard, confidence speaking in difficult situations, willingness to be forthright about what you want etc.

This is all my personal theorising but I don’t think the study is suggesting people who continue to be bullies into adulthood fare better than those who don’t.


My first thought reading that article is just how much many modern careers involve just straight up bullshitting about your abilities and competence. Modesty is decidedly not a useful quality.

Beyond that yeah, most kids who were little shits grow into normal-ish adults, forgetting what it was like to be a scholar terror even if the thing they did to the other kids remains with that kid for life. Thats one of the funny things about doing evil poo poo, as much as people like to think it leads to dramatic consequences most of the time it's very much a 'for me it was just Tuesday' thing.

There's a decent thriller called 'The Gift' where a guy who was clearly a vicious bully as a child, and has remained kind of a controlling dickhead in adult life, discovers the limits of that kind of behaviour. Jason Bateman playing a bit against type, showing if you push natural charm a bit too far it becomes superficial and unsettling. I liked it quite a lot though I'm not a huge fan of the ending.
