Northern Irish civil servant paid £10,000 after claiming offence over walking past Queen's portraits

A senior Northern Ireland civil servant was paid £10,000 in compensation because he was offended at having to walk past portraits of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, it has emerged.

Really. Then why the feck did the snowflake join the civil service ?

OK. Well I demand compensation for being hung out to dry, trying to help with the housing shortage.... But wait... it was a Baroness wot dunnit to the spineless twat..... so that doesn't count & I don't exist... All under the carpet now eh..?!

If they're that bothered by the Queen, why are they working for HM Government?

Obviously not offended of the 10000 portraits of her on the banknotes.

Good for him. I would have just vomited at walking past pics of that freeloading old lizard..

Hahahahaha madness!!

Only in Northern Ireland - It's 'another planet'.

That's like a vegan working at a butchers and being offended by the smell of the meat.

No way I believe this.

Awesome. Now we have a legal precident. I'm really offended at seeing Jezzers face on the newspaper so look out telegraph I'm coming for you. Accepting offers around £5k

TimPendry Proof, if it were needed, that Northern Ireland is a failed state, reliant on foreign subsidies and humanitarian aid (benefits).

That is an expensive photograph and they paid a guy that did not even click it.

Rather pathetic really.

What is the world coming to money hungry idiots in power.

Disgraceful. That could have paid for the 856th servant to muck out the corgi litter tray for four months

he didn’t have to.... he could of just fucked right off.

It sounds like Hegarty had been hanging out of the back of Theresa Villiers to me 🥴 it’s the only way it makes sense ☝️ follow the money

what a bloody square! She’s your monarch, show some respect

Time to give up. If we really are pandering to these loons, then there really is no point any more. Just hand everything over to the EU to control and call it a day.

He’s a 💩

Isn’t this the sort of example that sets a lot of ordinary folks against human rights legislation.

I wonder is he/ she offended of the Queen's head on the bank notes they are paid.

This will be taxpayers money then. System sounds pretty corrupt

DID I NOT JUST TWEET THAT THE BRITS HAVE NO SELF RESPECT?

I used to work in the court service. It was a great privilege. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧.

Get it back

I despair of our world

crazy, should have been offered 5p.

Roll on a United Ireland.

A subject of the Crown being offended at portraits of the Sovereign. Oh dear, dear. Sounds like sedition to me!

Wtf is wrong with this world

Barking

Walk past this person you deserve £10.000

What madness is this? FFS

Release him from his duties with immediate effect

MrRatRig

Sooner the better Scotland and Northern Ireland. Become independent. It will save us a lot of money. Just fed up with them.

Whoever awarded him that needs their head examined.

what an f'ing joke !

He received £10,000 , and was promoted to the position of secretary and accounting officer of the Parades Commission ! Feeling offended certainly pays off!

Wow how bloody dumb is that 10g in your pocket why not every other bastard seems to be doing it 🤔🤐🤐🤪🤪🤪🤪

So why work for HM Government then?

Absolutely disgusted by this. If he was offended by a portrait of the Queen then how can he be a civil servant. Such is Northern Irish politics. I am offended by this do I qualify for £10k?

We can get compo for being offended now? Brilliant.

That’s just complete nonsense and quite embarrassing to read actually.

We will now wait for complaints from his subordinates about bullying and intolerance.

What does he use for money

What a cheek I could think of some people’s pictures I wouldn’t want to walk past and get paid compensation for? Couldn’t you ?

Wow. Hard work, if you can get it. Hah hah. Of course, there's a lot of history there, more than I can begin to understand or comprehend.

BLAENAUFFESTNOW “Northern island civil servant fleeces own sheep for a second hand Audi”

Aresholez all round it sounds like

Gosh, big baby!!!!

Doormat Britain. It is little wonder they take the piss.

TelePolitics

That is awful he should have found another way

Viva Born to be Free Ireland ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Bet he didn't object to the Queens face being on all the bank notes though! 🙄🤨

How incredibly stupid. Now we pay people who are 'offended'? I'm offended at that. Where's my money?!!!!

Civil servant 'offended' at walking past portrait of Queen paid £10,000 in compensationOfficial reportedly claimed paintings contravened his human rights Do you want a list of what I'm offended by?

Anyone with a modicum of common sense would surely dismiss this as nonsense.

Leaks, plots and death threats: the unhappy lot of UK civil servantsToxic attacks on civil servants are a sad reflection of our febrile, Brexit-poisoned times 💵 I think too many Civil Servants took Yes, Minister as an instruction manual rather than a comedy. Their jobs are to quietly get things done, not intervene according to their political preference. As the Bible says.......Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. The UK civil servants needs to be honest about some of the extremely dangerous seeds they have sown....!
