Not guilty - Edinburgh teacher showing "indecent" cycling magazines to pupils

Some of you may recall the schoolteacher in Edinburgh who was accused of, amongst other things,
taking "indecent" cycling magazines into school for the pupils to read. For once the legal mess has
come up with the right answer and he has been found not guilty.

http://www.edinburghnews.com/edinburgh.cfm?id=124652003 has the story.

Perhaps bibshorts are bondage gear?

The head teacher has made a number of nasty slurs against cycling. If anyone wants to ask the
Councillor responsible for education in Edinburgh about her job prospects following this outbusrst
he can be contacted by e-mail [email protected]
