UK Pensions Minister ~ May 2015 ~ June 2016 |
A mere butterfly of political and personal opportunism and a great ‘Lady’ pension minister, confidence Trickster, and Whinger. Following her swift and brutally apt termination Altmann gave an interview to the Jewish Chronicle, a London Newspaper, in which she chronicled her political baptism and denouement. This was clearly not an atmosphere of chummy academia to which she was well accustomed… “I felt like I was in detention”… Altmann has described her time as David Cameron’s Pensions Minister as “the most terrible experience”, and claimed that her health suffered because of the stress of being “silenced” by government officials. She explained: “It has been the most terrible experience for me. I have felt under pressure the whole time; you have been squished and squashed in every direction and you just want to explode sometimes. It affected my health without question. It’s a very uncomfortable experience.” For more of her uncomfortable ‘experiences’ and her letter of ‘resignation’ after being sacked… Go Here. Having read |
and digested Altmann’s ‘experiences’ one should surely pause to ask the question that if she was such a self-evident paragon of high principle, which she would have us all believe, how was it that in publicly demonstrating these principles she did not make her point by resigning her Ministerial appointment long before being sacked? Suffice it to say that far from it being a Soul in torment bought for a Penny Roll the Baroness continues in her shameful misery in the House of Lords to sign on for her daily tax free, Taypayers paid, £350 per diem. Clearly her principles could be quite easily bought over the market stall and perhaps the new Prime Minister seeing Altmann operate up close in government long before she used her axe on her must have thought that Altmann’s ‘charisma’ was all rather false, syrupy, duplicitous, and repugnant… Who knows what the great She Leader thought? The uncomfortable reality surely is that Altmann became the merest political butterfly of footnote opportunism of recent political history during which, like many another, the Electorate saw her come to collect her 30 pieces of silver, to look , but not to conquer… |
