I've only just picked up the last Pink News (18 Dec) and it carries a fascinating story on page 4 with the title 'Convicted Teacher Weeps at hearing'. According to the piece a headteacher who has been convicted of outraging public decency at a Birmingham 'beauty spot' was allowed to continue as a Headteacher but reprimanded by the General Teaching Council. He continues to assert he is innocent of the crime and the governors at the school stood by him. Would the governors have stood by a convicted man who pleased guilty? Should public sex in this sort of situation (where he was arrested by a plain clothes policeman) really lead to such devastation of someones life? The paper can be viewed here.

Headteacher Survives Public Sex Conviction

Isn't it amazing- once again (as you have quite correctly pointed out before Chris) the police find it necessary to use resources chasing men having a bit of fun when knife crime (not to mention lots of other crime problems) are on the rise...
it seems to me, police resources are placed in the total wrong area, when knife crime is so prevalent, the areas of development into arguably safe brothels and plain clothed policemen searching for crimes such as the headteachers seems absurd.
