IN response to the article about my brother Mark Walker (Echo, Nov 13), I would like to point out that at no time have any charges been made against him and he has committed no crime.
If he had, he would have been sacked for that reason.
He helped his pupils gain some of the best technology results in County Durham. He was an excellent teacher, respected by his pupils and their parents and was never absent from school.
His contract at Sunnydale Community College, Shildon, was terminated due to illness. He was sacked as a result of the stress and anxiety caused by a 19-month long investigation, in which no charges were made and which drew no conclusions, only that he was unfit to work due to health problems.
He has been persecuted, not for what he has done but for what he believes in and thinks.
Isn’t this type of persecution what the Nazis used to subject their opponents to? We are living in some very strange and dangerous times.
Adam Walker, County Durham BNP, Spennymoor.
