If it was impartial all along why the need for this?
Now you see it:
Now you don't.

How are you going to get Jarvis Cocker fired?
"[TB] has no desire to see this person fired just the blog and the Young Labour chairmanship to go while she is taking the taxpayers shilling."
How does being the Chair of LYL and maintaining a blog conflict with her job?
Your arguement is surely that it is her personal opinions that compromise her role as a civil servant.
And as I'm sure you know thats just tough, they are her views and opinions. While they may differ from yours she has every right to have them as does every civil servant as long as they don't let them interfere with their job.
Her having a blog or a LYL role is completely incidental.
If she got rid of her blog and stopped being LYL chair she would still have all her own opinions.
Her job as a civil servant (which, as tax payers, is the only thing you or I have the meagrest of rights to complain about) would be completely unaffected.
This is a non-issue and your arguements are deeply flawed.
How am I unemployed, but these gobshites have managed to get jobs. Lets hope this FUCKING IDIOT is taken off the public payroll asap. I dont advocate civil servants having no political opinion, but dont publicise it like this MORON did.
James,
i have no problem with her having her own warped and deluded views but they are clearly infringing on her job as the order has come to kill the blog.
she is also clearly unsuitable to be an impartial civil servant if she wants to fob off about the people who are more than likely to be here bosses next year.
she also should not be in a such an active campaigning role for the Labour Party while she has access to ministers, she is not a political SpAd, she is a impartial civil servant. the labour role is unacceptable while she is tax payer funded.
Given that DEFRA have said they have no problem with it, and the role isn't political restricted, are you effectively campaigning for a change in the civil service code to make all positions - however junior - politically restricted? I imagine that will cause the loss of quite a few talented civil servants who don't fancy committing to a career that blocks them from ever entering political life, or even having a political blog.
TB
You're basically calling into question her perfessionalism, of which you know absolutely nothing about.
All you've got is inference and its very dull.
defra said that before the blog stuff was put to them.
i'm the dull one? ha ok mate we'll go with that.
I have no issue with civil servants having strong political opinions but referring to their opponents as c***s is going OTT.
well said
all civil servants are cunts!!!!!
I have civil service friends who are strong supporters of the Conservatives, but will neither join the party or do anything to identify themselves as such publicly as they believe it will compromise their ability to do their job if their colleagues know of their political views.
I think that is called being "scrupulous".
What this young lady is doing is flouting her Labour party membership and her campaigning activity in her colleagues faces and almost saying, "so what?"
I think that sums up the attitude of most on the left. Once I have power, sod the rest of you, or as Bevan put it, "Up the workers - right up 'em!"
I'm sure James Goldstone is equally as anxious to lobby for that police constable who got fired for being a BNP member.
Or are you going to be the hypocrite?
The twitter feed to which the Bear linked in the first post on the subject (Good Morning Labour, 0927) is now not just protected from view, but non-existent.
The politicisation of the civil service is the biggest scandal of the last decade or so; nowhere more so than within HM Revenue and Customs.
The British constitution is based on the principle that parliament makes laws, the courts interpret them and the civil service executes them. That is not the message promoted by Dave Hartnett, who has caused outrage amongst the legal and accountancy professions with his outpourings. I do hope that a Tory government brings him and other like-minded persons very firmly to heel. The law is not what the Civil Service wishes it to be.
"defra said that before the blog stuff was put to them."
So, if once DEFRA have seen the blog, they still say it's fine and no problem, will you drop it and/or apologize? Or carry on?
Wow.
She must be pretty damn good if you lot are attacking her this viciously already.
"Tom said...

if it was all so great, why has she removed her Twitter feed? Why is her blog no longer accessible?
It would seem that someone has deemed them unacceptable. Was it DEFRA? Was it her?
I have added this post to my favorites. Now and on I will read it more often.
