Despite having not actually carried out of the duties since 2010, when he became council leader, later mayor, Anderson continued to be paid until 2012. When the school then, not unreasonably, decided to dispense with his non-existent services, Joe (salary £80,000+p.a) called in m’learned friends – and lost.
