Gareth Mead Interview
As you might have noticed, my piece a while about Gareth Mead – the social housing manager suspended and humiliated over his sex life – has been getting quite a few comments lately. The reason being is that it was the piece I wrote was mentioned in Inside Housing – the social housing trade journal – during an interview with Gareth Mead.
The interview is well worth a read. It makes clear that Gareth – who has now been thrown into unemployment – has spent his life working to support the most vulnerable. Before going into social housing he worked support people HIV. That a clearly very competent public servant should have been been ruined by some worthless, scandal chasing excuse for journalist – and by the cowardice of his employers – is saddening and infuriating.

The Mr Meade to which you refer worked with people with HIV – during this time he also worked with many black people and was in my opinion instrumental in getting a number of those people dismissed for issues such as “sending emails to a child’s school in work hours, explaining why the child was off sick the day before”.
I’m so glad that he has got a taste of his own medicine.
What you fail to realise is Gareth Meade with great zeal through other competent public servants thrown into unemployment because of ‘joke’ emails so that Hammersmith Management could continue with their high salaries and punish black staff for ever having dared to complain against them.
