I Don't Normally Encourage The Compensation Culture But....

[Redhelen72]

What this teacher had gone through is just terrible - what punishment is being doled out to the teachers involved and to the girls - the very least for wasting police time

the pittance that he has been awarded is not enough for what this man has been through.

and there are innocent women and children but I don't see you pointing that out

[Redhelen72]

I agree Tora that all ID's should be protected until a case is brought - however there are so many differing experiences out there of sexual assualt where the girls/women were not believed.

I thought it was only men that did not believe the alledged victims but I am learning that is not the case

[naomi24]

Thats not what this is about though, is it.   This is about an innocent man - the one you posted about.

[ToraToraTora]

Yes helen but since GG, JS etc the default now is to beleive the kid and assume the man is an abuser. That gives enourmous power to the kids that are nasty/stupid enough to use it.

[ToraToraTora]

There's many reasons I would not be a teacher but this tops the lot. Male teachers all over must be wondering when it's their turn. Admonish some little brat and wallop, life over.

Don't mean to be flippant but cant help hearing this

[Redhelen72]

OK naomi

"...facts that had not been established".

Err, in other words, not actually facts.

That's like saying it is a unestablished fact that the earth is flat!

Nice one DD

Sadly the result of right-on liberalism and too many 'rights' for kids making a teachers job virtually impossible.

OK, this time it was a bloke but kids have also found ways to get at female teachers too and wreck their lives.

It's not acceptable and £45K is a disgustingly low amount especially has we have seen awards far bigger just for hurty words.

The Country has become a Joke.

[Canary42]

It amuses me that after years and years of Right Wing Government the Right Wingers come along here and blame the poor state of the country on the Liberals -  PMSL.

[royfromaus]

Right wing goverment?

 

What country do you live in, Canary?

[youngmafbog]

It has little to do with the Government (Although it is not a right wing Govbernment in any shape or form)

The liberals having failed at the ballot box infiltrated the main institutions such as Police, Judiciary, schools, Unis, The Conservative & Liberal Partys and lets not forget the Civil Service.

This will be a problem for labour too if they find themselves in No10.

As for you PYL may I suggest an adult nappy?

Do you suggest that we go back to the days when children who were being abused were afraid to speak up or who were brave enough to approach authorities and were not believed?

I agree that men have a rough deal, if an allegation is made then the man should not be named as, even if he is found to be innocent, it will affect him for life.

wolf: "Do you suggest that we go back to the days when children who were being abused were afraid to speak up or who were brave enough to approach authorities and were not believed?" - no but we must find a middle way, for a start we must stop naming at least until charged.

[wolf63]

TTT - agreed.  Maybe it would be simpler to withhold the guy's name if crimes got to court quicker.

[Deskdiary]

I'm intrigued by the "Years and years of Right wing Government" comment.

The current Government is not right wing. St Blair's Goverment was more right wing than the current Government. It just was.

I'm a natural Tory (i.e, small 'g' Government, low taxation, little regulation, reward those who strive to do well) so the current Tory Government doesn't represent me. To describe the current Government as right wing IS factually wrong.

[Canary42]

Oh dear, I seem to have touched a raw nerve with the Tory Apologists, they're all taking refuge in Denial.

[Deskdiary]

^^^not at all - you were just being corrected in your wrong belief that we have a right wing Government. I wish we did have one, but we do not.

[Untitled]

it is more accurate to say 13 years of nihilistic government as they believe in absolutely nothing and don't seem to have done so at any point since 2010....
