    Can I just say how incredulous it is that once the truth is out that the gazette censors the true findings, and the Mail, who were the national backer of Carol Hill, choose not to report on the final findings at all, despite making this one of their main campaigns. I urge you all, please, to read these headlines as they truly are - sensationalist headlines to sell newspapers, insisting that we live in a terrible society, riddled with crime, social injustice, and a lack of morale fibre. Every one of us knows we, as a society, as human beings, exist alongside each other just fine, and the odd spat, or disagreement doesn't have to played out in the national press for all to scrutinise, or criticise. None of us is perfect, but let us judge others not, less we be judged ourselves. Our press seem to have forgotten that!
    Have just seen the Gazette and its all in the paper. I think the "see paper for more details" at the end of the story is the clue. Oh well, at least the teachers and governors at Great Tey know the next time one of their pupils is tied up and whipped in a game the parents wont be told. And Bassman would not care if his children were....it would just be a "spat" after all."

No payout for sacked dinner lady

A DINNER lady who was sacked after telling a child’s parents about an incident in a school playground has not been awarded any compensation by an employment tribunal.

The tribunal in Bury St Edmunds ruled Carol Hill, 62, of Chappel Road, Great Tey, was not entitled to any compensation after being sacked from her job at Great Tey Primary School.

Despite ruling at an earlier hearing that Mrs Hill had been unfairly dismissed because the school failed to follow the correct procedure, Tribunal chairman Robin Postle said Mrs Hill was not entitled to any compensation.

Mrs Hill witnessed an incident in the school playground which involved a seven-year-old girl being whipped with a skipping rope by a group of boys.

She later told the parents of the girl, who had not been made fully aware of the incident by the school and she contacted the press, which the tribunal deemed was inappropriate and in her own interests.
