I would think a hitman would be cheaper. Wasn't there a case this week where some little scroat knocked someone off for a couple of hundred quid?

Not of course that I'm suggesting that our esteemed government or their agents would ever do such a thing :ninja

I dont know the law as such, but i was hoping that on appeal , they would show her incompetence
and they were right to sack her. (I am in Scotland so our laws are slightly different) It may be the case that they wont go ahead, we shall have to wait and see.......

I don't understand why this woman can't be summarily dismissed after the awesomely awful display of 'work'. If I worked in an office and walked past a collegue in the hall clutching their chest and I sublimely think I have too much on my desk (and anyway they'll probably be ok anyway), I'd expect to get the sack if this person dies. I have a feeling the judges were gritting their teeth considering the Ofsted findings.

Seriously Joe - 200 quid  Fekkin hell

They would do it for nowt up here

I find I'm channelling my late mum more and more lately when I go off on one of my 'what is the world coming to' rants.

Are you saying things like 'all these earthquakes and floods and wars are the beginning of the end'?

I know!! I am the same x

No Col but then she didn't either. If she had we might have marketed her as a doomsayer and made a few bob

I find these kind of cases really difficult in the same way my mum did, strangely enough. I hate things that cause me to compromise my morality and go against the things I hold dear.

I mean, I know in the absolute legal sense of employment law that Shoesmith was sacked unfairly, but would I find in her favour or give her a penny in compensation?

No I wouldn't and that makes me feel bad about myself

I understand that completely, i would fight tooth and nail for someone fighting for their job, if they were sacked unfairly, and technically she was. But it doesnt sit easy in my gut...........

That's the rub Skylark.

I suppose we all just hope for a degree of common decency from people in her position. She is utterly shameless and without any kind of morality imo

Yes i agree, i watched her interview on BBC last night, and it was me me me. Found it hard to feel any pity for her, to be honest ............

My mum did in the late 50s and early 60s. I missed a trick, didn't I?
