what we have here is a classic case of the bullied becoming the bully. I mean he goes by the nickname 'golly' ffs
a name given to him by his "friends" at bording school. Lots of weak, unattractive, inferior men, when given a little bit of power over somebody, will soon turn spitefull, vindictive and just plain nasty.
Believe it. Stalin did. It was how he recruited his secret police.
