/// It is evident where the DMs sympathies lie. Interesting though it might be, what does the background of the parents have to do with the merits of this dinner ladies dismissal, other than an attempt to elicit more sympathy for the dinner lady? ///
Not so, having first reported on this story they would be amiss if they failed to report on matters of public interest that are attached to the case, even though not directly, just as I found it necessary to add this recent discovery of the child's father unlawfulness even after my original post on the subject on the dinner lady's dismissal.

How is the fathers background germane to the dinner ladies dismissal for gross negligence? Please explain. Would it have made a difference had the father been a heart surgeon and organ donor and generous supporter of local charities with an unblemished character? Would that change the basic facts of the story? More importantly, would the DM have bothered publishing such a follow-up story?
The only reason the DM have followed up on this story and posted this information is because it feeds into the agenda that the DM has; plucky briton disadvantaged by those nefarious foreigners.

Here is the local newspaper report with the stuff the Mail thoughtfully omits to print...
http://
// Lunchtime UK Operations director Peter McAleese said: “Anyone losing their job is regretful. But there was a full and transparent procedure that Alison went through - as well as an appeals procedure which she lost.”
A spokesperson for Lunchtime UK added: “Following an incident involving Alison Waldock at one of our schools a full investigation was carried out prior to suspending her on full pay.
“A standard disciplinary procedure ensured which resulted in Alison Waldock being dismissed for gross misconduct.
“She was represented by the GMB union throughout the whole procedure and is now entitled to appeal through the tribunal system.
They continued: “Obviously we cannot provide all of the details surrounding the dismissal. However, as a general note, Lunchtime UK would not seek to dismiss any employee due to just one honest mistake.” //

So you know that for absolute certainty do you, or is it just another figment of your imagination.
I wonder why it was the Daily Mail who campaigned to get a couple of 'plucky disadvantaged Britons' jailed for the savage murder of a 'nefarious foreigner'?
Is that the Daily Mail's agenda that you refer to?

What I don't understand is that this Zahid and Rumana Darr ASKED for Alison Waldcot to be dismissed, and she was ?.
Mr Darr is an interesting character isn't he.
The move comes after Mr Darr’s recruitment firm was closed down in June when he was found to be working as a company director illegally.
Following an investigation by the Insolvency Service, he was banned from holding company directorships after he was caught pocketing over £500,000 owed in tax in 2008.

Seems that the Cambridge News also chose not to provide all the details surrounding the dismissal.
/// However, as a general note, Lunchtime UK would not seek to dismiss any employee due to just one honest mistake.” ///
That of course is not a declaration provided by Lunchtime UK, but only an assumption made by the Cambridge News.
Oh what a tangled web some choose to weave.

the Mail doesn't actually say this, it just attributes the claim to Waldcot. It may still be true, of course. If I'd told the school my child mustn't be given a certain food, and a staff member ignores this, I'd be annoyed too, whether I was an illegal company director or not.
I wonder, in passing, who told the parents?

/// If that is a reference to Stephen Lawrence, he wasn't a foreigner. ///
Now how did I know someone would jump in and give that obvious piece of information.
It was merely put by myself to get over an important point, in a separate argument, incidentally I do not know if Mr Darr is also British if he is, please feel free to point that fact out to LazyGun also will you?
