All these anti-bullying offensives are well and good, but as per most government initiatives, what possible good can they do?
Bully's aren't just born, they are created by circumstance and ignorance.
Kids who start bullying at an early age are bullied at home, it's a vicious circle that will not be broken by sloganeering and celebrity endorsements.
The worst time in many peoples live is between 12 and 15, a time when at school most kids are feeling insecure about themselves in one way or another and take it out on others relentlessy, some people never get over this and it continues into the work place. We have a guy at my place who is the boss from hell - beligerant, ignorant and stupid; he is like that at work because his home life is miserable.
Bullying will never stop, not unless we suddenly all become free of insecurities, envy and resentment - which in todays society is more unlikely than ever before.

The good they can do is allow people to stand up to bullies, rather than suffer in silence. If it goes unreported, the bully wins. If you stay quiet, the bully is constantly in your thoughts, the reason behind most actions you take. You are empowering a weak coward, giving them a standing in your imagination they couldn't hope to attain in real life.

The importance is making people responsible for their own lives, not letting others force them into certain decisions.

There are bullies, yes. There have always been bullies, agreed. And probably there always will be. But that's no reason for the victim of bullies to make themselves their accomplices.

Sad story in today's current bun

Physical bullying always gets a strong press response wheras verbal bullying seems ok, see Jodie Marsh for a perfect example. Another great example is the continual impersonations by "comedians" of Beckham, whiny voice and thick as a plank. As DB is the greatest player this country has produced since Stanley Matthews why these dickheads need to keep getting there cheap laughs at his expense amazes me. His wife of course gets the same, see that twat McGrath on They think its all over, every time the mystery guest is holding anything thin eg snooker cue, he feels it, turns to the audience with a smirk on his ugly face and says "is it Posh"? with the usual baying response from the retarded audience. Like a lot of the sneering breed he carps on about his university degree which like the others he puts to good use by appearing on TV quiz shows.

The finest example of this bullying was the Have I Got News For You show which fearured Christine Hamilton. As we know Mrs Hamilton has sinned badly as she was guilty of supporting her husband through thick and thin during his cash for questions case, bloody cow. For a spell during the show she was subject to a venomous attack by the other 4, Angus the "coke snorting serial shagger", Paul "I only think my jokes are funny and I will sneer if anyone else dares to crack one" Merton, Ian "Mr Potaoe head" Hyslop and some other twat. What a bunch of gits, much loved by the BBC though.

...but then again isn't the abiltity to stand up to bullies something that comes from being brought up to have a genuine confidence in yourself and not because of some govt initiative?
The best antidote to bullying I can think of is the philosphy of Anthony Robbins and other "lifecoaches" and writers, and it's all about acceptance of yourself first and foremost.

I hate bullies with a passion but in this particular case it must have been so hard for her being paid to do it and everything.

And the media attention which she so clearly hates so much must have been awful for the bitch.

Me thinks not some how.

Shows like this do cause problems I think the 'example' set by that t$@t Gordon Ramsey is terrible but I will never feel sorry for a celebrity 'victim' appearing on a show they know about, know what's going to be said & something they can walk out of.

"And the media attention which she so clearly hates so much must have been awful for the bitch"

What did she do to you to merit the term bitch? the fact someone needs to earn a living and goes onto a topical news show does not mean they deserve to be bullied by the other panelists who I've no doubt if they were physically bullied who scream and shout about it.

As we know Mrs Hamilton has sinned badly as she was guilty of supporting her husband through thick and thin during his cash for questions case, bloody cow.

That's what she did to earn the term bitch.

I assume you don't watch this programe that often if you had you would know the funniest moments are when the panel get stick and everyone, including Hislop etc have taken some.

When Dayton was 'outed' for his drug taking the stick he got was merited and funny.

Why do you think Boris Johnson goes on the show he's not just been a panelist he's also presented it.

The reason is money.

Sorry but if you seriously think the people on the show do it without knowing what will be said or with the option that they can't do it your living in cuckoo land

She supported her husband and that makes her a bitch? suggest you remove your respect footer as you don't seem to know what it means.

How you can compare Deyton, who after pontificating about peoples foibles for years and was then caught paying for sex whilst snorting coke, getting some well earned stick to the vitriolic attack on CH because she had the nerve to stand by her husband, only you know.

As for the good natured ribbing Boris gets when he's on, that's what it is good natured, enjoyed by Boris and the audience.

Anyone who watched the programme and thought it was a funny moment when CH was nearly reduced to tears by the barrage of personal attacks on her by the rest of the team must have a strange sense of humour.

I rest by my point that bullying is wrong either physical or verbal and just because you think that it is ok as long as they are being paid for it, that doesn't make it right.
