Jesus wept. As well as being obviously racist she's clearly too stupid to understand how ascension to the throne works. Unless something happens along the lines of 'King Ralph', the line of succession after Charles is with Prince William and his two (soon to be three) children and then their descendants. She needn't worry her little racist head. Edit: oh, and the seed is provided by the father. Thank god I don't do Twitter. Full of idiots. [Post edited 16 Jan 2018 16:23]

'Just give me a hug?' Un-fcuking-believable. Firstly, the mediator sounds like an absolute cretin: if you had suggested doing something similar you'd be out on your arse! Professional it ain't. Encouraging a colleague of the opposite sex to engage in unwanted physical contact...? In the current climate...? Secondly, 'Banter', last time I checked, doesn't constitute a sound legal defence when accused of racism. Furthermore, they may be 'her views and she is entitled to them' but when they breach UK law and the company Ts & Cs I think she might find them a little less empowering. Fair play to you PP. This 'mediation' has not solved the core issue and the company has singularly failed in its duty of care towards employees. | |

Innocent people don't offer hugs. Was the mediator internal HR or ACAS? | | | |

Was your father-in-law there too - what were his thoughts? Anyway, she offered the hug, so a moral victory on your part - let's hope her supposedly positive vibe continues in the office... | | | |
