That's just a fact of life in the UK. <BR/><BR/>Best to use outside of work methods to put a stop to the bullying -- e.g. criminal charges under the protection from harassment act or private civil harassment suits against the bully him/herself.<BR/>Or better still organize your own guerilla campaign of countermeasures - e.g. exposure of the bully.<BR/><BR/>There are no employment rights left in the UK and employers know it.
