If the shopkeeper’s version of events and her subsequent reply in the Observer were incorrect then a case of libel would undoubtedly be successful.

I look forward to the LEA bringing such a case on behalf of the teacher or maybe her union if she is a member of one.

I won’t hold my breath though.

But this is all still skirting around the real issue. Would that be because the teacher’s cheerleaders would have to admit that the teacher should not have been outside of school during school hours, which is the issue. And of course they would also have to admit that I have been right in my view. Such an admission would stick in the craw of some.
