  1. Or maybe it’s because everybody hates him?

    Employing a hate monger in your teaching staff isn’t the kind of move that pleases young families

  2. Reminds of this tweet I saw a while back.

    Me sowing: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!

    Me reaping: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck

    > “I was a teacher before and obviously I’ve applied for a few jobs and sadly not even had an interview yet, so actually I think the days when being an ex-MP was something that was wanted or desired is no longer. I think we’re now seen as a problem and so that’s a challenge.”

    Don’t think it is because he is an ex MP, just that he has revealed himself to not be intelligent enough to be a teacher

    > Gullis endorsed Liz Truss…

    Bloke made some pretty awful comments, including calling kids who fall into drugs ‘scrotes’ and teachers ‘commies’. He’s pretty much ruled himself out on both safeguarding and culture grounds.

    If you are struggling to get a token seat on a board of directors or highly paid consultancy gig after being an MP, that marks you out as being a spectacularly useless arsehole much less failing to land a teaching gig. 

  6. Or, to give him his full title, Ultracunt Jonathan Gullis.

    It’s a mystery why nobody would want to employ such a nice chap. A real mystery.

    Unemployable here? Wonder if he’s possibly considered emigrating elsewhere where he’s less well known, the irony would be sweet!

  8. Turns out being a high profile twat for years is not good for your employment prospects, that’s crazy.

    There’s nothing inherently wrong with being a “former Tory MP”; the problem is how often it goes hand in hand with being a “current twat”.

    Hope he never gets the chance to teach children about the importance of telling the truth.

    Suspect they won’t employ him because he is a massive wanker. The Tory MP part is tangential.

    Saying irresponsible and inflamatory things on tv puts people off hiring you to teach. Once again the dildo of consequence arrives unlubed.

    I don’t actually think this is bias at all, he hasn’t had any teaching experience for five years and is probably getting put at the bottom of the pile for that reason alone. The only job in parliament that’s like herding a class of children is the Speaker after all.

    Even then – “I’ve applied for a few jobs and not even had an interview yet” is just describing the normal job hunt almost everyone in this country faces.

  14. I imagine they the know he’s a guy who would cause endless issues for anyone who employs him.

    Well, I never thought the leopards would eat *my* face says the ex-member of “leopards eating other people’s faces” party.

  16. Is he applying to become headteacher or ceo of academies etc?

    He seems entitled and I cannot see him applying for just a normal teacher role ,at the coalface.

    I bet he is trying to get one of those top CEO jobs in an academy. I have news for you ,there are a lot of people who are more qualified than you ,so you better start at the bottom.

    Well….when did he start applying?
    In July…August? 
    Surely majority of schools would have had their positions filled well before Sept. 
    What an idiot, just making excuses for his own incompetences.

    Schools won’t employ him becuase he is unfit to be a teacher. If my kids were still of school age, I would withdraw them from their school if it employed Gullis. He’s a deeply unpleasant, racist, far-right gobshite who shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near children. Employing him would bring any school into disrepute.

  19. On_The_Blindside on

    It couldn’t be that he’s been found out to be a thick dickhead that no one wants to be around is it?

    He’s said some pretty vile things, I’d not want my kids being taught by him.

  20. With the way he has acted in recent times, would you want him anywhere near your or anyone else’s kids?

    He is a boorish oaf, who has specialised in saying exactly the kind of things that schools try to get kids away from.

    The kids would eat him for breakfast too, they would have so much ammunition, that they would have him ranting and raving by morning breaktime.

  21. Maybes it’s because he’s a massive chimp, the schools are concerned about the amount of bananas they will have to feed him, to get him to educate properly.

  22. Stock_Inspection4444 on

    If I was a headteacher I wouldn’t hire him. Not because he’s a former Tory mp but because he’s a massive prick who behaved in a completely unprofessional manner on many many occasions

    While American-style political garbage is still on the rise and a serious threat, it does comfort me a little that this guy who would just fall into the background of lunatic American politicians was singled out and ostracised for his blatant unhinged behaviour in our system.

    Discounting perhaps Mogg, Gullis is in pretty good running for maybe one of the most reprehensible and disgusting MPs to ever hold a seat in modern UK politics.
