UK PLC — HUMAN RESOURCES

TO: Andy Burnham — Senior Manager, UK PLC
CC: Mike Tapp MP; Minister for the Cabinet Office
SUBJECT: Reminder — You Work for the Members

Dear Management,

HR has received numerous complaints following today’s outburst from Mike Tapp MP, describing Dover protesters as “idiots” and telling them to “get a job.”

Mike.

Come in.

Shut the door.

Bring your lanyard.

We apparently need to revisit your induction.

Management seems to have forgotten something rather important:

YOU WORK FOR THE PUBLIC.

We call you “Management” because it makes these emails funnier.

You’re not actually our bosses. We’re yours.

And that means everyone.

People who voted for you.

People who didn’t.

People who agree with you.

And — this may come as a shock — people who think you’re doing a shit job.

They’re all members of UK PLC.

Today’s protest caused disruption and you’re perfectly entitled to condemn that.

But there’s a considerable difference between:

“I disagree with your methods.”

and:

“You’re idiots. Get a job.”

These people are protesting border control after successive governments repeatedly promised to fix it.

Small-boat crossings being substantially down this year is welcome.

Good. Now finish the fucking job.

Because “down” isn’t “solved.”

And sneering at people who remain angry certainly isn’t leadership.

Andy, as Senior Manager, HR would remind you that the conduct of Management ultimately lands on your desk.

We therefore recommend:

Have a quiet word with Mike.

Perhaps begin with:

“Mike, what the fuck were you thinking?”

Then apologise to the members and remind Management that disagreement isn’t insubordination.

It’s called democracy.

And finally, please remember:

Winning an election doesn’t make politicians the owners of Britain.

It gives them temporary responsibility for managing it.

The country belongs to its people.

And eventually those people conduct Management’s performance review.

It happens in a little booth.

There’s normally a pencil attached to a piece of string.

And spending several years insulting the people holding that pencil is generally considered poor career planning.

So Mike, report to HR for your refresher course:

“PUBLIC SERVANT: THE SECOND WORD IS IMPORTANT.”

And Andy:

Please collect your manager from Dover.

His Working With The Public certificate appears to have expired.

Kind regards,

Human Resources
United Kingdom PLC

Oh England… where have you gone?

Schools will close early In Middlesbrough as huge crowds gather to mourn youths who killed two police officers.

We are out of control, out of honour and out of time.

Eventually, you have to pick a side. agreeing with this bollocks is not the right one.

[The media SOI 🇬🇧 @MediaSOI]

A policeman spots a black guy
dancing on the roof of a car.
He radios for backup, saying…
“I’ve got a darkie dancing on a
Volkswagen.”
“You can’t say that over the
radio.” replies the operator
“You have to use politically
correct terminology.”
“OK” he says “Zulu…. Tango….
Golf….“

@FlashheartV2 Fck me, where do you live, Outer Mongolia?🤣. I suppose you had to stop & recharge the milk float.😁

@HJB_News__ @JohnexRN No, because we should be stopping the boats & sending this 3rd world scum back to where they came from.

Dear HM Government, (UK)

Firstly, congratulations. You’ve managed to discover a brand-new definition of transparency.

Apparently, the people who write the laws can have their criminal records kept secret from the very people expected to obey those laws. That’s an impressive piece of political gymnastics.

The rest of us apply for jobs, volunteer roles, taxi licences, security passes, and all manner of positions where background checks are considered perfectly reasonable. Yet when it comes to those entrusted with running the country… suddenly privacy becomes the highest constitutional principle.

Forgive us if we’re a little confused.

If a criminal record is irrelevant to holding public office, then explain why. If it is relevant, then surely voters deserve to know before they hand over power at the ballot box.

Democracy relies on informed consent. It’s difficult to make an informed choice if important information about elected representatives is deliberately withheld.

This isn’t about conducting witch hunts or judging people for minor mistakes made decades ago. It’s about accountability. Those who expect the public’s trust should be prepared to earn it through openness, not secrecy.
Unlike the government’s pursuit of Veterans 🤔

So, a simple question:

Why should MPs and ministers be held to a lower standard of transparency than many ordinary citizens applying for everyday jobs?

After all, “nothing to hide” seems to apply enthusiastically to taxpayers, but rather less enthusiastically to taxpayers’ employees.

Is transparency now something that’s only expected of the governed, while the governors are exempt?
Abit like the COVID vaccine 🤔 there is a pattern,

Perhaps we’ve misunderstood how equality works. We foolishly assumed the same standards applied to everyone. It would appear they do… right up until someone becomes an MP.

The British public doesn’t expect perfection.

We do, however, expect honesty, accountability, and the same standards from those who make our laws as they expect from those who obey them.

Yours, slightly bewildered,

A Taxpayer 🇬🇧
