June 6, 200916 yr The likes of Deb, Phil and Ben were clearly playing up for the cameras.... Debra must be pretty good at her proper job to get as far as she has done at such a young age... And, yeah, I really DO think that as far as her actual former colleagues go, it IS a bit of a case of sour grapes because she's successful at a young age, when most of them are probably still doing the same sh!t for 20 years, and she turned turned defence into attack (frankly, your attempts to liken her to Thatcher are both laughable and completely ridiculous, Debra hasn't exactly KILLED anyone lol: ).... There is a general feeling in business that a woman showing ruthlessness, aggression and tenacity is seen as a bitch or a "dragon lady", but a man showing these qualities is respected and "one of the boys"... You simply CANNOT deny that this is true, I would imagine the likes of Karren Brady had to put up with some utter sh"t in their business life...... If Debra was playing up for the cameras, why does she have a record of complaints made against her for aggression at her former employers? How did you reach the conclusion that it's "sour grapes"? Unless you were THERE when Debra worked there, how could you possibly know that? And what made you think that those who filed the complaints are all older people who have been in the same job for 20 years? Has it been stated somewhere who provided the references? And as Karen Brady pointed out, she hasn't had a history of major complaints being made against her for being a bitch. And she's MUCH more successful than Debra, so surely she'd have been more of a target? but id remind you of 'with regret', 'keep in touch' and 'i might have made a big mistake letting her walk through the door'... glowing testimony from sas.... as an apprentice she would HAVE to have controled herself, otherwise shed be sacked. Sirallun was basing that on just 10 weeks worth, and he wasn't present during the actual tasks. And he was pretty much alone. Nick Hewer certainly was no fan. And let's not forget that Debra did come perilously close on occasions to being fired for aggression.
