Colin Campbell posted a notice on the CPB Facebook site regarding a former Welsh civil servant who worked for the Welsh Assembly, who had been dismissed for blogging.

From WalesOnline (via Miss Wagstaff Presents…)

AN Assembly Government civil servant who was sacked for running a political blog is taking his case to an Employment Tribunal…

The former Assembly Government employee, whose real name has not been disclosed but who ran a blog called Christopher Glamorganshire, provided what readers saw as a neutral running commentary on last year’s coalition negotiations involving Labour and Plaid Cymru.

It seems that the civil servant’s contract may have contained language that forbade any activity like blogging. However, others, including a former Assemblyman, described the blog as “written in a sensible and rational manner.”
