Dudley Council pig ban exaggerated by press

Gavin Ayling has received an email from Dudley Council regarding the story that hit the press a week or so ago claiming that pigs had been banned from Dudley MBC offices because a muslim made a complaint.

It appears that the press simply had a field day and blew the story out of all proportion and that the hype over it was unwarranted.

However, it may have been over-exaggerated but it doesn't change the fact that a council department actually gave credence to one muslim's complaint about pig-shaped stress relievers.

He should have been told to go away and find some work to do. Anyone who has enough time on their hands to come up with that complaint obviously hasn't got enough work to do.
