Avon Fire Authority chair resigns over 'unwanted' behaviour
The chair of the Avon Fire Authority has resigned after accusations of inappropriate behaviour against two members of staff. Ben Nutland is still sitting as a South Gloucestershire councillor but is now serving as an independent after being suspended by the Liberal allegations centre on an event after a conference dinner at Bristol's Hilton Hotel in November 2024, during which it is claimed he followed a fire service employee to her hotel room. Mr Nutland suggested his drink may have been spiked, but no evidence to support this claim was found by the panel investigating the complaint. The allegations against Mr Nutland only came to light following the publication of a report published by the the Avon Fire Authority's governance and oversight committee hearing earlier this month. Mr Nutland resigned in December after being notified of the complaint, the report states. The committee's report states that the allegations from both women relate to a party following a dinner at the Asian Fire Service Association conference, during which he allegedly called one woman - referred to only as "employee one" - "stunning". 'Very uncomfortable' He is claimed to have asked the woman if she wanted to "go upstairs" with him, before following her back to her room and going inside and taking off his jacket and shoes and getting on to her bed. The panel investigating the complaint heard that the woman had asked him to leave, which he did with no physical contact, but had described his behaviour as "unwanted" and making her "very uncomfortable". The second employee to make a complaint claimed that Mr Nutland had twice attempted to get her to dance with him, despite clearly being told she did not want to. She felt harassed to the point she did not want to return to her car alone that night, a panel heard. Mr Nutland, the report said, claimed not to recall behaving in this manner but had said he "did encourage others to join the dancing". The report noted that Mr Nutland had made a "full" and "heartfelt" apology for his actions and had suggested his drink had been spiked. The fire authority panel found that Mr Nutland had breached the code of conduct on three counts in relation to the complaint made by employee one, and on once count in relation to employee two. A spokesperson for South Gloucestershire Council said they had been formally notified of a breach of the fire authority's code of conduct. As Mr Nutland was appointed to his role by the council, the spokesperson continued, it was now being considered how the matter should be handled under the councillor code of conduct.

Justice demands that Connolly and Vylan are held to the same standard
Long after it ceased being fashionable to hate on Margaret Thatcher, Pascal Robinson-Foster – AKA Bobby Vylan – was shouting about desecrating her grave. 'Let's go dig up Maggie!' he cried, to a cheering crowd at Glastonbury, in 2022. With this unpleasant entreaty, the controversial rapper was building on a well-established theme, having used his first ever big gig to rant about assassinating the Queen. 'After all, she killed Diana,' went his warped logic. For a broadcaster doing due diligence, Robinson-Foster's back catalogue should have raised more red flags than the sea of pro-Palestinian banners fluttering over the fields of Somerset last weekend. A glance at the shock jock lyrics favoured by the dreadlocked artiste ought to have been plenty enough warning for the boneheaded BBC that no good was likely to come of live-broadcasting his set. Nonetheless, in front an open-air crowd of thousands, and an at-home audience of millions, the rabble rousing rapper was allowed to chant 'Death, Death to the IDF' (Israel Defence Forces). In much the same breath, he encouraged spectators to chorus 'From the River to the Sea' – a highly inflammatory expression of desire to see Israel erased from the world. Lest anyone be in any doubt about Vylan's deep-seated antipathy towards Jews and the Jewish state, ahead of Saturday's gig, he publicly labelled a Jewish music executive a 'bald-headed c---,' making clear his displeasure at having had to work for what he called 'f---ing Zionists'. Nor can there be any ambiguity about the ugly sentiment behind the political slogan used by Hamas and other militant Palestinian groups to call for the destruction of Israel. As the sinister masked mobs that continue to march around our towns and cities reciting the phrase know full well, the words are extremely offensive to the Jewish community. They have no place in any public protest – or from the stage at Glastonbury. As for openly appealing for the slaughter of the entire Israel Defense Forces (into which all young Israelis are drafted) that is incitement to violence, pure and simple – unless of course it is (as Bobby and his drummer sidekick Bobbie will doubtless claim) just 'poetry'. The trouble is that artistic licence was not a defence poor Lucy Connolly was allowed to use when she found herself in the dock for calling for 'mass deportation now' in the wake of the Southport murders. When she took to X to suggest that people upset by the violent killing of three young girls by what she mistakenly thought was an asylum seeker could 'set fire to migrant hotels', she did not mean it any more literally than Vylan is likely to have meant with his own unpleasant words. All the same, Connolly was sentenced to 31 months behind bars, after pleading guilty to stirring up racial hatred. Unlike foul-mouthed Vylan, Connolly had no public profile whatsoever when she posted her now notorious message. In the three hours before she thought better of it and deleted it, her post was certainly viewed many times, but she could not possibly have been described as a role model to anyone, other than perhaps her own family and the little ones she looked after as a childminder. As such, it was vanishingly unlikely that anyone would be inspired by her words. Indeed, there is not a shred of evidence that they were. Moreover, unlike Vylan, who must have rehearsed his vile rhetoric many times over in the run up to what was surely the biggest public performance of his career, Connolly did not have months in which to find the right words to express her anger and grief. Had it not been for the extraordinary decision to throw her in jail, her ill-judged outburst would have attracted no attention whatsoever. In short, one of these two people is a high-profile figure guilty of grossly abusing a very privileged position to drum up hatred towards Jews. The other is a previously law-abiding private citizen who had been living in quiet anonymity before making a single silly mistake. She is the one paying the price. There is a growing public perception that authorities are terrified of upsetting certain group for fear of being labelled racist. By contrast Connolly is white British and Right-wing. This makes her a much softer target. In the wake of last summer's riots, she was simply bracketed with all the other 'far-Right thugs' that Sir Keir Starmer prioritised for punishment. Last week, an indignant Lord Hermer dismissed claims of 'two‑tier justice' in Britain as 'disgusting'. Starmer seems as incapable of recognising the glaring discrepancies in the way different groups are treated by the authorities as his idiotic Attorney General. These two Labour politicians now face a real test. Doubtless, apologists for the outrages of October 7 will seek to draw some fine difference between the two cases. In the court of public opinion, however, the two cases are one and the same. If public confidence in the justice system is to be maintained, there must be equal consequences for both. The truth is that neither character belongs in jail. While Connolly was a fool, Vylan is just a puerile professional provocateur whose stupid stunt is unlikely to result in any real harm to the IDF. 'Inshallah' – as he would say – it might at least mark the demise of his career.
