Perhaps, the overreaction of the parents to a meal that was removed and not actually eaten by the child had something to do with the way they treat laws applying to themselves...........

Forgive him mate, he's not well lolololololol
Bit of a leap, mate.
It's perfectly fine to discuss each issue, but to conflate the two seems pointless unless there's a specific agenda behind the reasoning.

That's irrelevant. As you concede there are a tonne of PC laws in this country. Employment regulations being key to all that.
if the dinner lady's sacking was dodgy then it would have been successfully challenged. If it hasn't been (in light of all the publicity) then the sacking was correct. That's all - you can't on the one hand argue we have a world that's too PC and then argue that someone was illegally sacked!

So my views are irrelevant. Where have I said that she was illegally sacked ?....

No of course not - everyone's entitled to their views. I took from your opening post that you were unhappy with the circumstances by which the dinner lady was sacked in the first instance. Is that not the case?

Welcome back Wayne
Thank you. Indeed I am upset with the circumstances because of which she was sacked. This country used to have a degree of tolerance for people who made genuine mistakes and no tolerance for people who deliberately broke the law. Now we have tolerance for those who deliberately break the law and no tolerance for those that make mistakes. The school and especially the parents, grossly overreacted to an event that was very probably not deliberate and as a result a low paid dinner lady has lost her job in uncertain times. The parents on the other hand will no doubt pack up their money, happy in their treatment of the poor woman and swan of to warmer climes. I just happen to think the whole episode stinks.......

Okay happy to have a civilised discussion!
I guess I'm trying to say that if the first sacking was in any way dodgy then surely it would be Christmas time for UKIP and the Daily Mail etc. The fact that (I think) it hasn't been taken to a tribunal leads me to think there's more to it and it was actually the right decision.
If it was a genuine one-off mistake and she properly made amends/apologised then I agree that does stink and I cannot see how any employer could sack her on that basis. The employment laws in this country are stacked in favour of the employee and with all the attention and supporters she's picked up she'd get decent legal advice for free. It'd be a PR win to do well at an employment tribunal and there'd be a bit of money in it as well.
On the dad's fraud yes of course that's wrong but I just honestly don't see how those two issues are linked.
Cheers

No it doesn't at all. Two wrongs don't make a right. The decision to sack the dinner lady was correct until proven otherwise.
Any fraud is wrong and against the laws of the land. I don't have all the facts of the dad's case (-do you?) so cannot speak as to whether he was dealt with fairly or not - I don't even know if he was charged or convicted or anything.
