Sting stung!

by Philip

For those of you who have been away for the last few days, (walking on the moon, being an englishman in new york or dreaming with blue turtles perhaps,) you may have missed the news that the Employment Tribunal has made an award in the sex discrimination case involving Mr and Mrs Sting.

Anyway Sting will not need to catch every breath he takes as the award was loose change in relative terms, being just shy of £25k. My reading of the press reports was that the award would have been higher had the Claimant’s solicitors asked for aggravated damages and costs, which is food for thought! The matter is going to appeal so maybe the EAT will allow this ex police-man to use his get out of jail card. (Fancy a fellow band member calling you a petulant pansy, I can see a sexual orientation claim there!)
