Councillor update

During the course of last week, I successively emailed all Leeds City Councillors (who had a published email address) the following email, in groups of ten or so (so that it was obvious to the Councillor that they were not being singled out):

Dear Councillor,

I am a blogger and citizen journalist based in Morley.

It has been brought to my attention that Councillors have been complaining to Line Managers about opinions posted onto Internet Facebook forums by people known to be Council employees. There is no indication that the comments are libellous or that the employees are in politically restricted posts.

I am contacting all ninety-nine City Councillors to enquire if they are involved in this matter.

I would be grateful if you would confirm to me whether or not you have actioned any formal or informal disciplinary proceedings related to any employee of the Council posting on social networking sites. By all means elaborate should you wish to do so.

Thank you in anticipation,

Regards,

It is now a full week since the last batch of emails were sent.

See if you can guess what happened next?
