it wasn't a bit of "title tattle" it was a campaign to force her to resign or spare the lamb from slaughter and i suspect that animal rights groups had a lot to do with it

The animal protection charity, Peta, said it had contacted Ms Charman asking for the slaughter programme to be shut down.
A letter to Ms Charman, sent before news of Marcus' slaughter was released, said: "We urge you once again to spare Marcus' life - teaching the children how animals feel love, joy, fear and pain, just like us.
"We also ask that you shut this programme down.
"The children have got to know and love Marcus and it is now the perfect chance to introduce humanity, compassion, respect and understanding to the school instead of betrayal."
