An AA recovery driver with autism has won a payout of over £20,000 for disability discrimination after he was sacked for joking about dropping his colleagues “on their heads”.
Adrian Lloyd-Penny said during a phone call that he was going to drop night manager Lyndon Tyler and dispatcher Dave Boddison “from a third storey bl**dy window, the pair of them on their heads” after his autism “flared up” over a perceived error made by the pair, an employment tribunal heard.
