last Sunday night, shortly after a press conference, in which the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson demonstratively behind his highly controversial adviser Dominic Cummings had made, appeared in the official Twitter Feed of the UK Civil Service, the following message: “Arrogant and disgusting. Can you imagine how it is with this Truth able to deal to have to work together?” After ten minutes it was deleted again, however, not before about 30’000 times received over been. Shortly thereafter, were distributed, also on Twitter, already framed pictures and even an embroidered Version of it.
the taboo-blasting the end of this for Twitter relationships first, quite moderate appearing displeasure scope to expression capture, you have to know what Her Majesty’s Civil Service. As the Central state administration is the bureaucratic Foundation of any government work in Westminster. Civil Servants are there to help the Prime Minister and his Cabinet, to the best of their ability in the implementation of its political program. The most important rule for Civil Servants, not elected, but are life time civil servants are is, to behave in the Public, politically neutral.

Johnson dismissed this as “understandable”, was perceived as unfair and nothing incensed the British more than Unfairness. The previously unknown Tweeter had spoken of millions of from the heart.
How dicey the Whole, the announcement by the government to seek immediately after the author of the “unauthorized Tweets”. He should be found, is likely to be, his Post is in acute danger. However, first aid would be guaranteed. “Harry Potter”author J. K. Rowling tweeted, in turn, on the same evening: “If you have found out who it was, let me know. I would like to buy the a year’s salary.”
