So, Gordon Brown allegedly bullyed some of his staff to the extent they rang the National Bullying Helpline for advice.

I hate bullying perhaps more than any other nasty personal vice. It is invariably done by those with serious problems, mainly insecurity.

I don't recall ever being bullyed or indeed being a bully to anyone. I saw plenty of it at school and on the streets, I have stopped my car more than once to try and rescue some little lad being given a hard time by a group of yobbo's.

In my days in secular work I invariably had a boss who was fair, encouraging, understanding and demanding! Making demands on others is good but must be tied in with fairness and good manners.

One of my bosses in Post Office days, I would and did go the extra mile anytime for him. He had all the attributes mentioned above. In a very masculine way I loved him.

As I got various promotions I realised that if I treated others as I wanted to be treated life became much more enjoyable.

In Ephesians 2:10 Paul writes, We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. Good works, works that will honour Jesus, works that will enable your workmates and friends to see that you walk with the Lord.
