Councillor is sacked for not attending meetings – Politics – The News


When Cllr Malcolm Hey walked out of a meeting to avoid having to listen to Muslim prayers there were calls for him to be sacked.

I voiced my opinion then that he should receive a bollocking for the disrespect he showed and that sacking was a typical knee-jerk reaction that seems to be popular in this country and a punishment that was disproportional to the crime.

Now it seems he has not been attending meetings but has still claimed the expenses. As a result he has been sacked.

Well it seems that he has gotten what he deserved.

Good Riddance I say.
