Good News For Who
Good news is it? So Brookes thinks it is good news that Sue Tyers has withdrawn her application does he, but good news for who I wonder. Lets not forget Brookes, Sue Tyers put in a lot of good service to this town and she did it for the good of the town. She doesn't have a criminal record, unlike you, she didn't post pornographic pictures after criminally breaking into the Oakham Town Council's noticeboard, unlike you, she has never sued the church for thousands of pounds, unlike you, she has always worked to earn a living, unlike you, she has never posted unwarranted and defamatory blogs, unlike you, and quite frankly she is a far, far better person than you could ever hope to be. At least Sue has the integrity required to be a councillor, UNLIKE YOU!!!!!!

This is very sad news. I have known Sue Tyers for years and she is a wonderful ambassador for Rutland.
ReplyDeleteIs her withdrawal due to the fact that she will be forced to sit at the same table with this man Brookes?

A VERGER is taking legal action against his church after being injured by a drug user's needle while picking up litter.
Martin Brookes, 34, had to go to hospital to be vaccinated against possible hepatitis infection after the incident in the churchyard. He will need to undergo follow-up treatment and tests for HIV during the next 12 months.
Mr Brookes, who says the injury has caused him "stress and worry", is taking legal action against the parochial council of St George's Church in Bloomsbury, central London, on grounds of personal injury and negligence. He says the church promised to hire a firm to remove used needles from the churchyard, which has become a haven for drug users and drunks, but has failed to do so.
He said: "The doctors reassured me that the chances of catching HIV are very slim, but I am worried that I might have caught hepatitis. The most worrying thing is that I won't be able to put my mind at rest for many months."
Mr Brookes, who has been verger of St George's for four years on a salary of £17,000, is now refusing to pick up any more litter, on the advice of his trade union, the TGWU. He said: "There are so many needles here, it is disgusting and very dangerous. I was never supposed to pick them up and, since last winter, I have refused to pick up leaves because often needles are hidden among them."
Father Perry Butler, the priest in charge of St George's, said he was "very concerned" for the verger but could not comment on his legal action. He said he was hoping that the police would take action against the drug users who congregated in the Bloomsbury area after dark. He said: "I often wonder what tourists must think when they see an area of central London like this full of beggars and drug users."
