Nine council workers in South Lanarkshire have been suspended over claims they sent joke e-mails about convicted paedophile Gary Glitter.

The staff are thought to include members of the children and family services department.

They were said to have been sent home after the e-mails were tracked by the council's IT unit.

The e-mails were understood to feature pictures of children's faces stuck on images of former pop star Gary Glitter.

A South Lanarkshire Council spokeswoman said: "A number of employees have been suspended as the result of an ongoing inquiry into the misuse of the council's internal e-mail.

"We can't comment further at this stage of the inquiry."


From the description on the TV this morning, this is the offending picture

Lets face it, in these troubled times with employers looking for ANY excuse to get shut, you're only going to have to fart in the wrong note now to get the heave ho. evil:

It must have been the content, as I expect they send 10,000 joke e-mails per day like everywhere else does.

If that is where they intend to draw the line, they will lose.
