And the patron of the National Anti-bullying Helpline is ... ?
























YES!  It's Conservative MP Ann Widdecombe; and it quotes support from David Cameron on its website. Widdecombe said she would have preferred the helpline to stay out of the row, as its cases should remain confidential [yeah .. but ... ?]. The charity has another Conservative patron, councillor Mary O'Connor, but Widdecombe defended the organisation as "utterly non-political". However, government sources questioned the charity's credentials, suggesting it had made no contact with No 10 and operated only two doors away from the local Conservative party.
