Bullying

Mark Devenport | 16:24 UK time, Tuesday, 12 February 2008

There was general agreement to a Sinn Fein motion this afternoon calling for "the Executive to carry out a thematic inspection across public bodies, to establish their response to bullying experienced by children and young people with disabilities". A couple of speakers made reference to the more general phenomenon of bullying, the most notable being the Strangford MP Iris Robinson, who said she had been bullied at school, not by a fellow pupil, but by a "very small male teacher" who felt intimidated by a girl seven inches taller than him.

I was bullied by a girl seven inches taller than me at primary school. Horrific.

Sometimes when I read Iris Robinson's News Letter columns I think she can abuse other people, like McGimpsey et.al. Maybe that helps to keep him looking sad. Maybe he does not know that she is a Christian lady.

What exactly do you mean by 'bulled'?

MARK RESPONDS: Thanks for that. Typo amended.
