    The general approach is to agree that whoever is in govt are a shower of gobsh!tes, and then you move on to sport.

    That's not much of a metric to use,they were only formed 3 years ago.

    I'm hoping to join the CS soon, can you tell me if this practice of maintaining impartiality extends down into everyday interactions? E.g. would groups refrain from discussing controversial political topics during the working day (where it isn't relevant), or over lunch, drinks etc.

    I would not discuss controversial topics over lunch etc in ANY workplace.

    I totally agree. That's why I'm hoping posters would say "yes, discussing politics for fun is disallowed", because I think it's becoming commonplace elsewhere and I dislike it.

    And the CPSU, Impact and PSEU? (Are the AHCPS amalgamated with them, too?)

    I'll say you'll be waiting a while for any Civil Service unions to go on strike. They've been waiving their right to do so, on the instruction of their members, for at least the last 13 years.

    What about taking part in demonstrations such calling for an end to the violence in Gaza?
