Reading that article not one of them has said this isn't a sensitive subject. All they've said is that the training is a waste of money. Having been on "equality" training I tend to agree with them - it's common sense and common decency.
It's a witch hunt co-ordinated by a couple of council officers who Cllr Barnett has upset in the past. Complete waste of time and money ( OUR MONEY !!!!!!!!! ).
