Firing someone who is the wrong calibre can be dangerous.

Well, yes - a prerequisite to being dismissed, really. My point was that I very much doubt someone of his calibre figured on any headhunters' radar.


He might actually have been very good at his job, we can't tell just because he was a prat this one time. Of course, he could also be a total loser and his manager was just waiting for an opportunity to fire him. Again, we can't know that.

Given the litigious world in which we now live (thanks, USA!), I would imagine that any employer who's considering terminating someone's employment would take care to make sure they're following the required procedure - everyone knows how expensive a mistake could be in matters such as this!

Second idiot charged over the Whitty "caper".

Quote:
A second man has been charged with common assault after England's chief medical officer Prof Chris Whitty was accosted in a London park.

Jonathan Chew, 24, of no fixed address, was charged on Monday over the incident, which took place in St James's Park on 27 June.

Officers spoke to the uninjured victim and checked his welfare, a Met Police spokesman said.

They then reviewed video footage that emerged on social media.

Mr Chew will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court later, also charged with obstructing police.


Obstructing police will likely be a bigger issue for the courts than his actions around Whitty.

A prison cell might be preferable to 'no fixed abode' as the nights draw in.

Especially if he has a "special friend" sharing with him. Someone who is happy to "snuggle" through the long, cold, dark nights... Shocked Laughing
