James Sheehy


James saw a job advertised for the post of Town Clerk for Lymington and Pennington Town Council, so he decided to apply, even though he didn’t match the posted experience required.

The advert stated 10 years experience, a Certificate in Local Council Administration and a relevant degree James has seven years experience, a certificate but no degree. Fair enough, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

He even phoned the retiring Town Clerk claiming it was unfair to ask for 10 years experience. The Clerk advised the council to reconsider the application, which they did, but James was not shortlisted.

Now, most reasonable people would have accepted the decision, but not James. He went to an Employment Tribunal, complaining that he was discriminated against due to his age (29), which made it difficult to have gained 10 years experience.

The Tribunal judge agreed that the other candidates were a better fit, but the Council had failed to demonstrate that 10 years experience was significantly different than, for example, 8 years, and awarded the winging, moaning cunt nearly £3k!

Make it make sense, someone.

  1. How about fuck off? The tax payer gets to fund another hand out to some cunt because they are a spineless cunt who’s never faced a real moment of adversity on their life.

    Trouble is we require a certain amount of adversity in our lives, it shapes us and builds character.

    This cunt needs to stat home with mummy.

  2. My life’s been nowt but adversity.

    Do you know, i went nearly a month without having my teeth whitened?!

    And recently didnt have any fairtrade gravy in the house,
    Luckily mummy dashed to waitrose and got me some before I developed mental scarring.

  3. They’ve let him out…

    No fan of Royality, but fucking hell the BB cunting C are making hay out of this one…

    However in the interest of balance, what about Mangledbum… that’s gone oh so quiet.

    Ah yes, he is one the BBC approve of.
