HUNDREDS CALL ARMY HELPLINE..

But some told to report bullies - to the bullies

ALMOST a thousand serving British troops have called an advice helpline for victims of bullying and harassment.

Most of those who sought help are believed to have been bullied, sexually harassed, or racially and sexually discriminated against by colleagues, including senior officers.

But the Daily Star Sunday has learned that some of those who sought help were told to speak to senior officers about their complaints, even though they were linked to the problem.
