After the national expose of the Brent Council racism,
discrimination and workplace bullying scandal in Private Eye’s last edition, Davani,
Gilbert, Ledden, Potts and others named and shamed may well have thought they
deserved a rest from the limelight.
However, it seems that Rotten Boroughs (Private Eye’s
regular dodgy-local-authority section) is not the only page that the Civic Centre chums will now want to flick
straight to as they check their cuttings each fortnight. The cartoon below
appears in the current edition of the Eye and, though it principally relates to
similar scummy practice by some NHS managers, will surely resonate with Davani
and Gilbert and Fiona Ledden (and, even more so, with some of their more
honest, and therefore no-longer-employed, ex-colleagues).
