Stupid British prurience

First everybody gets worked up over Jacqui Smith's husband expensing £10 of softcore, despite there being so much else to get worked up about that crypto-fascist empty-headed fatuous waste of protein (the minister, not the husband, evidently). Now this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/7974446.stm A particularly pompous git of a headteacher taking a PE mistress to task for posing for some cheesecake shots. He even "ordered the pictures to be taken down" from a website he doesn't own, as though his authority extended beyond the school gates, the jumped-up little pr*ck.

Who the hell cares what the poor woman is getting up to in her off time? She wasn't forcing the students to visit the site. I wonder how Mr Clean Minded found the pictures in the first place? Perhaps he had to find a kleenex before phoning the press. Frankly, fapping over some PG-rated pics of their gym teacher is probably the most exercise the average couch potato chav is going to get this year. She should probably get a medal from Alan Johnson.

Sorry if RP - no sign in search (perhaps my search terms were too conservative).

In fact it was one of the parents at the school reported it to the local paper. They notified Mr Clean, who reckons it is against school policy for teachers to behave in any way other than straight-laced 24-7 as it is helping his school achieve 50% GSCE passes. It is a pretty poor school...

I confess I still wonder whether he knocked a swift one out before claiming the moral high ground...

I find this development that employers increasingly believe they have the right to control employee behaviour outside working time extraordinary and disturbing. Certainly it is reasonable to expect that staff will not break the criminal law, as that has implications for their potential behaviour during working hours, and that they will not do anything that brings the employer *directly* into disrepute - Gerald Ratner springs to mind here - but surely otherwise it's none of the employer's business. I doubt she advertised herself as PE Mistress of Little Bigotry in the Wold Middle School, or whatever the benighted place is called, when pursuing her side career.
