Offended by Secret Santa (Non story of the season)

Bored journalists will report owt!

Blackburn head teacher gave x-rated present

A HEADMISTRESS shocked staff by giving out x-rated ‘secret santa’ gifts at a Christmas party.

Sally Fenton, head of Audley Community Infant School in Blackburn, gave out the cheeky adult toys as presents as the school broke up for the holidays.

Oh my god, do we stoop to new lows. I can't decide if this is a new low in journalism, a new low in offence seeking behavior or a bit of both.
She "shocked staff" by giving our "x-rated" presents? The article does not say what presents she gave out, however, a colleague of mine refused to do secret Santa at our works this year because last year she got, "a playgirl calendar and a chocolate cock". She opted out this year but at least she didn't write to the newspapers.

“It was a secret Santa and there may have been people who took slight offence to some of the presents.
And that statement was dignified by giving it space in a newspaper?

According to reports in a national newspaper, the head ‘misread the mood’ and had meant her gifts to be ‘amusing novelties’. She is said to have apologised to anyone who was offended.

And a national newspaper too?

She apologised to anyone who was offended?

""Sorry about the chocolate cock. Hi, sorry about the cock. Good morning Mavis, please accept my apology for the willy calendar and the novelty penis."" Etc.

The article has been given the abuse it richly deserves in the comments.

Junior school governor, Blackburn councillor and chairman of the Lancashire Council of Mosques, Salim Mulla, said: “Headteachers need to be very careful in what they do.

Salim, perhaps you should be a little more careful regarding your own behaviour before you start lecturing others, after all, there is rather a big difference between secret santa toys and benefit fraud isn't there.

Salim Mulla, chairman of the Lancashire Council of Mosques, has been charged with the theft of £8,900 of incapacity benefit between April 1, 1998 and August 17, 2001.

He faces a second charge of claiming income support and incapacity benefits between August 17, 2001 and March 31, 2009, without notifying the authorities of the true extent of his income.

Hmmm. That would have been a more interesting story. Well spotted. The two faced cheeky arse.

I'm not suprised she misjudged the mood. We can be fairly certain being a primary school close to 100% of the staff will be female. Now, by a strange set of circumstance barely before I had left school I found myself working for several weeks in an all female office. Being a quiet, well behaved young man after a couple of weeks they hardly noticed that I was there. I will say just two things about that experience. One, I have never been quite the same since and two, eleven years of compulsory education had nothing on what I learned during that time.

It's Salim Mulla's eyesight that renders him so disabled that he cannot work for a living, although being a councillor on expenses doesn't seem to cause him any problem.
I thought we were supposed to be rooting out these workshy hypochondriacs and stopping their benefits! I hope gets sent down.

Mummy longlegs - I went back to the article and added your bit to the comments. It was removed within the hour???

Twisted - I haven't experienced that first hand however, I've worked in pubs a long time. Female behaviour is quite an eye opener!

Norman - Me too. And no more benefits when he gets out.
