Looks like sabbing is now a form of religious activity.




Light blue touch-paper and retire to a safe distance...

Whilst I couldn't think of defending his beliefs, I would be sorry to hear that those beliefs were the reasoning behind his dismissal.

Assuming that everything is as it's been reported () then his views shouldn't have been grounds for his dismissal. I do though, wonder if it was a rather lame excuse, and one which was used, to get rid of a useless member of staff.

Things may not be as they seem!!

His views are VERY extreme. Hashman is not JUST anti-hunting - he's been a 'leading' saboteur and AR activist for 30 odd years. And he's a bit of an expert at screwing money out of his former employers too - in 2005 he was 'unable to work' after a fall and screwed his Council employers for nearly £30,000. Being 'unable to work' left him free to hound hunts (and film Clarissa Dickson-Wright.) If you had inadvertently employed a hunt sab who has been flouting the law for 30 years, would you feel comfortable keeping him around?? I wouldn't!

Ah, as I thought. Things are not as they seem!! Quite obviously, the man's a snake.

Thanks for that Mrs.G.
