Civil Serf Blogger Code of Conduct: I have the solution
I’ve solved this problem.
Let us make them follow the precedent of the Ministerial Code of Practice (pdf) introduced by the Blair-Brown government.
And the ultimate authority for deciding whether the blogger broke the code should - following this Ministerial precedent - be … the blogger themselves. And for any breach, an apology should suffice as remedy.
Sorted.
That’ll keep our Civil Service Ethical and Sleaze Free.
