SACKED FOR HOLDING AN OPINION! (CANNOT HAPPEN TO LEFTISTS, BTW!)
Teacher sacked after criticising ‘two-tier justice’ in Lucy Connolly case.
Simon Pearson dismissed after internal investigation found his online posts had the potential to bring Preston College into disrepute.
In a post on social media, Simon Pearson, 56, who teaches at Preston College said Connolly’s online comments were “obviously wrong” but she “should not have been jailed”.

But he was dismissed after an internal investigation, prompted by a complaint from a Muslim representative of the National Education Union (NEU) at the college, found his online posts had the potential to bring it into disrepute.
Mr Pearson told The Telegraph: “I am appalled by the way I’ve been treated.
Blogger: When Labour 'Gets Tough', it is so often with the wrong people. Had Connolly's unpleasant post not been promptly taken down from the Net, after second thoughts on her part, a jail sentence might well have been merited.
When knife-carriers - as one example - never seem to ever be jailed, this exaggerated sentence was a disgrace.
And yes, as a Magistrate, I once tried very hard to jail a young man armed with a knife 'to protect himself, like'. My two colleagues seemed to be agreeing with me but our Legal Representative intervened and said "This would go immediately to a Judge in Chambers and will be overruled. He'll be out by lunchtime."
Sigh!
