I decided after an hour or so that a complaint would be appropriate as no-one, let alone a DM can be effective with closed ears and a big gob.

If I was a claimant rather than representative then the conduct is not befitting of a member of the Civil Service.

And just to take the nasty taste away of Lady Thatchers quote… “Know the rules well, so you can break them effectively.” Mr Lama XIV

“Do not let the behaviour of others destroy your inner peace”

Margaret Thatcher

“You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it”

Dalai Lama
