Joshua said: 'How can it be one -sided or derogatory to oppose a terrorist? This is only one -sided '

How can it be one -sided or derogatory to oppose a terrorist? This is only one -sided. '
Joshua appealed against his resignation for coarse misconduct but was not successful.
A spokesperson for Severn Trent Water said: “This is a complex matter for employee relationships and it is important to be clear that this is not the whole story or an isolated incident.”
