Protests as teacher sacked after 30 years working at Liverpool college
The sacking of a teacher who worked at a Liverpool college for 30 years has sparked protests by her former colleagues.
Nina Doran was as a lecturer in Teacher Education and English at the City of Liverpool College until she was suspended on September 20, with the college citing a breach of confidence. She learned that she would be sacked earlier this month.
Ms Doran joined the college in September 1991. Alongside her teaching positions, she was also a representative for the Universities and Colleges Union branch at the city college, and would liaise with the UCU’s national office to organise unionised workers during industrial disputes.

She said: "Because I was out of the workplace, I thought that maybe, maybe the suspension won’t go the whole way to a dismissal. It was all a bit of rollercoaster in the end. It’s just shocking, not being in the workplace and not doing what I do, it takes a lot of getting used to.”
Both the college and Ms Doran said she could not go into further detail about the allegations while the appeals process was ongoing. A week of lunchtime protests at the several college campuses followed Ms Doran’s dismissal, with unionised staff claiming she is the fourth union representative to be dismissed from the college in the last eight years.

Vile rapist kept photos of himself abusing boy in 'keep safe vault'
A child rapist took sick photographs of himself abusing a little boy.
Robert Trigg had been accessing child porn images from the internet, the National Crime Agency found in May last year. Officers raided his home and seized electronic items from his bedroom including his iPhone.
Arthur Gibson, prosecuting, said when the phone was forensically examined indecent images were found. Liverpool Crown Court heard there were 36 images in the most serious category of abuse, 38 in the next category and 137 in the least serious group.

It was noticed there were three images in each category showing the same young boy and police were able to identify the victim. Mr Gibson said the offences had taken place when the boy was aged between three and five.
Pervert Trigg had moved the images, showing him and the boy both naked engaged in inappropriate sexual behaviour, to a secure “keep safe vault” on his phone so that he could look at them whenever he wanted.
